I found this today and I thought it would be good to share.

There are few slip ups in there that are a little safety rule violation of the big four so inspect carefully and maybe point out what he is doing wrong and make the class tell you why he just shot the dead BG again while he was <hint> reloading or "top it off". LOL that and the sling I'm not a fan of slings when I'm hunting let alone crawling threw a dark house all hoped up on adrenaline! ha ha. But the transition drill would come in big handy if I had my pistol on and my SG jammed. I also like how he points out the short stroking the pump.

A sling is critical for home defense. What do you do with your shotgun if you need your hands for something? What safety violation did you see? Who said anything about shooting a dead Bad Guy?

I was wondering about these myself?

I discovered this site after I attended the class I found it very helpful in visualizing the things you were telling us. I like the Buick o truth and the rest of the web site as well. and the low light essentials.

Safety violation- while he is topping the mag tube in one of the photos he has is finger on the trigger, I then commented about having to explain why he shot the dead BG simply to point that out.
Sling- I agree it is critical but it could also hang on a door knob or something (slings tend to find things to get stuck on) and hang up it could be a nightmare or a god send depending on the situation and the out come.

EDIT: More links added on post #10

Thanks for posting that. Some good info there. I guess a sling is a personal preference. I'd bet most HD shotguns don't have one. I personally like them on a HD gun, and I even put one on my 870 field gun. It's great for walking to and from hunting sights. Then, I simply snap it off.

You are right, he sure does.

If you wear a sling correctly it won't. I have done entries with a slung shotgun/rifle and never hung on anything.

I haven't so I won't comment any farther on that because all I have are "what ifs" and I have no real experience with a slung SG in a "tactical situation. I have crawled threw brush with a rifle that I never took the sling off of but that is a different situation entirely.

This is really a tremendous site for all sorts of information. Been reading his stuff for a long time. All you need to do is spend some time and look around for good details on ammo, pistols, rifles, shotguns, etc.

 

[Big country]

He does do allot of shooting things that's for sure. I like the low light articles and the articles about the car and using it for a shield as well.

Great link, thanks for posting it.

I've got a HD shotgun that comes out each night to stand by the bed - no sling yet, and I'm definitely confused about whether to get one or not. :-(

 

[Big country]

Well like TI said there are proper ways to do things and then there are the door knob catcher way to do things. I don't have any experience with entry and tactical situations with a shot gun. But I hunt with a bow and a rifle and I stay very careful about my sling hanging on branches. But I've never had my sling hang on a branch either! LOL! Do you have a pistol or a revolver with a holster?

Great Link, thanks for posting, def, going to bookmark and re read here and there.

Very good info. I have a 410 for HD as mama can't handle a 12. It is designed for HD and we heep slugs and buck in it. Inside a house I think a 410 would be devastating.
