1
00:00:00.450 --> 00:00:20.160
the

2
00:00:20.190 --> 00:00:28.985
the everyone candy fitzpatrick here with alp

3
00:00:28.985 --> 00:00:31.140
an outdoors this is a very special

4
00:00:31.140 --> 00:00:33.450
gun review that i'm doing today because

5
00:00:33.450 --> 00:00:35.430
it is my actual shotgun that i

6
00:00:35.430 --> 00:00:36.990
got to use at thunder ranch this

7
00:00:36.990 --> 00:00:39.030
year thank you mossberg they invited us

8
00:00:39.030 --> 00:00:40.320
out a couple of us writer

9
00:00:40.664 --> 00:00:42.150
and media folks to come out and

10
00:00:42.150 --> 00:00:44.010
do an abet a shotgun class actually

11
00:00:44.010 --> 00:00:46.260
so this is the mossberg nine forty

12
00:00:46.260 --> 00:00:48.000
pro with the holliston four o seven

13
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:50.490
k optic on it the thunder ranch

14
00:00:50.550 --> 00:00:53.400
edition and some of the you're gonna

15
00:00:53.400 --> 00:00:54.780
be really jealous of this i i'm

16
00:00:54.780 --> 00:00:56.970
so honored like i actually remember i'm

17
00:00:57.030 --> 00:00:58.410
not going to cry but clint smith

18
00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:00.480
actually signed our shotgun which is

19
00:01:00.540 --> 00:01:02.310
really cool we had all of our

20
00:01:02.310 --> 00:01:03.990
names sharp on our shotgun these still

21
00:01:03.990 --> 00:01:05.790
see my name worn from our class

22
00:01:05.790 --> 00:01:07.140
but the fact that clinton signed this

23
00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:09.000
makes it really hard to water suited

24
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:10.440
ever again too i just i never

25
00:01:10.440 --> 00:01:11.940
want that to go away anyways let's

26
00:01:11.940 --> 00:01:14.940
talk about has gotten so first off

27
00:01:15.210 --> 00:01:17.910
this is definitely a combat shotgun right

28
00:01:17.940 --> 00:01:19.410
and we went out on a ranch

29
00:01:19.410 --> 00:01:20.640
to shoot the combat shotgun

30
00:01:20.730 --> 00:01:22.560
course which is really important so you've

31
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:25.290
never had to maneuver with a shotgun

32
00:01:25.290 --> 00:01:26.640
and when i say maneuver i'm talking

33
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:28.406
about having to push out and then

34
00:01:28.406 --> 00:01:30.840
move through barricades go the other direction

35
00:01:30.990 --> 00:01:34.914
shoot sideways shoot like crazy slugs at

36
00:01:34.914 --> 00:01:37.110
two hundred yards guys it was wild

37
00:01:37.110 --> 00:01:37.890
and it was the most fun i've

38
00:01:37.890 --> 00:01:39.360
ever had and honestly now that i'm

39
00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:40.800
just like picking this up and move

40
00:01:40.860 --> 00:01:42.570
around i remember how sore i was

41
00:01:42.570 --> 00:01:45.000
for days so what makes us a

42
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.100
combat shotgun so several features when you

43
00:01:47.100 --> 00:01:48.990
get the gun and you actually have

44
00:01:48.990 --> 00:01:51.360
a more extended but pad and what

45
00:01:51.390 --> 00:01:53.040
they recommended and i actually tried out

46
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:54.840
and really enjoyed was shortening it down

47
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:56.700
to the shortest amount so obviously with

48
00:01:56.700 --> 00:01:58.890
shotguns you're probably used to a longer

49
00:01:58.890 --> 00:02:00.390
but pad your shooting skeet or what

50
00:02:00.390 --> 00:02:00.840
have you

51
00:02:01.110 --> 00:02:03.540
but for a ccb shotgun you really

52
00:02:03.540 --> 00:02:05.100
want this to be as short as

53
00:02:05.100 --> 00:02:07.440
possible to be easily maneuverable that was

54
00:02:07.440 --> 00:02:09.468
really important to change out okay so

55
00:02:09.468 --> 00:02:11.730
on the rear buttstock here you have

56
00:02:11.730 --> 00:02:13.410
qt mouth on both sides which is

57
00:02:13.410 --> 00:02:15.270
really nice and then up front on

58
00:02:15.270 --> 00:02:16.920
the four end you also have two

59
00:02:16.920 --> 00:02:19.290
qd mounts on either side now the

60
00:02:19.290 --> 00:02:20.940
barrel clamp is awesome you have a

61
00:02:20.940 --> 00:02:21.120
little

62
00:02:21.150 --> 00:02:23.310
m lock rail here on both sides

63
00:02:23.460 --> 00:02:24.780
i had to attach my sling a

64
00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:27.120
little bit differently because i'm just used

65
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:28.650
to pointing with my finger when i

66
00:02:28.650 --> 00:02:30.240
shoot shotguns so it was just that

67
00:02:30.300 --> 00:02:31.140
that didn't work for me so i

68
00:02:31.140 --> 00:02:32.730
changed my setup and you can tell

69
00:02:33.420 --> 00:02:34.770
we had a sling or shotguns which

70
00:02:34.770 --> 00:02:35.850
i will talk about the gear i

71
00:02:35.850 --> 00:02:37.320
used here in a second but what

72
00:02:37.320 --> 00:02:39.210
i really love is mossberg has included

73
00:02:39.210 --> 00:02:41.271
texture grip texture on both

74
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.770
sides of the grip back here and

75
00:02:43.770 --> 00:02:46.500
on the forint so i promise you

76
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.990
in heat and extreme movement you're going

77
00:02:48.990 --> 00:02:50.010
to want that grip just to be

78
00:02:50.010 --> 00:02:51.270
able to hang onto the gun and

79
00:02:51.540 --> 00:02:52.470
be able to feel where you are

80
00:02:52.470 --> 00:02:54.330
on the shotgun so now there are

81
00:02:54.330 --> 00:02:56.130
some oversized controls on the rear that

82
00:02:56.130 --> 00:02:57.240
i want to talk about you have

83
00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:59.280
an oversized bolt release which is awesome

84
00:02:59.580 --> 00:03:01.440
and then you have this oversized no

85
00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:04.170
knurled texture rise knob which is amazing

86
00:03:04.170 --> 00:03:06.090
so pull that action back easy to

87
00:03:06.090 --> 00:03:08.040
go what we learned in the class

88
00:03:08.040 --> 00:03:09.540
which is something i was really familiar

89
00:03:09.540 --> 00:03:12.330
with is loading the shotgun under pressure

90
00:03:12.420 --> 00:03:14.700
and how to load it self with

91
00:03:14.700 --> 00:03:16.590
the action close you had to learn

92
00:03:16.590 --> 00:03:18.360
how to load with your strong hand

93
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:19.440
right and it's one of the time

94
00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:20.670
it's not quad loads we're not doing

95
00:03:20.670 --> 00:03:21.600
dual loads were not john

96
00:03:21.600 --> 00:03:24.720
quick this is the tactical shotgun or

97
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:27.270
you can use a side caddy and

98
00:03:27.270 --> 00:03:29.008
maybe load with your left hand it

99
00:03:29.008 --> 00:03:31.050
depends on what hand right hand left

100
00:03:31.050 --> 00:03:32.580
hand and you are but it was

101
00:03:32.580 --> 00:03:33.960
neat to kind of pull ease off

102
00:03:33.990 --> 00:03:35.940
and go under orc if you did

103
00:03:35.940 --> 00:03:37.680
run out of ammo then while you're

104
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.109
shooting you can pull around out throat

105
00:03:40.109 --> 00:03:41.760
in the chamber knock the bolt release

106
00:03:42.030 --> 00:03:43.260
and get back on your target which

107
00:03:43.260 --> 00:03:45.450
is super important so these caddies are

108
00:03:45.450 --> 00:03:48.570
removable just a velcro just like that

109
00:03:48.780 --> 00:03:51.360
we installed our own velcro pad so

110
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:52.980
this is really neat is our first

111
00:03:52.980 --> 00:03:55.140
arts and arts and crafts job that

112
00:03:55.140 --> 00:03:56.010
we did once we got to the

113
00:03:56.010 --> 00:03:57.870
ranch but that makes it really easy

114
00:03:57.870 --> 00:03:59.100
for the shock cards to go on

115
00:03:59.100 --> 00:04:01.530
and off in terms of the trigger

116
00:04:01.770 --> 00:04:01.920
you

117
00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:03.477
you have your normal shotgun trigger guys

118
00:04:03.477 --> 00:04:06.120
so easy trigger pull i mean there's

119
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:08.670
not much special to it on top

120
00:04:08.670 --> 00:04:10.230
though which is really important before you

121
00:04:10.230 --> 00:04:13.500
shoot obviously is your safety so red

122
00:04:13.500 --> 00:04:15.570
means hot ready to go when we

123
00:04:15.630 --> 00:04:18.000
moved and shot at thunder ranch you

124
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:19.680
know we we went there the punisher

125
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.000
which i'll talk about that course was

126
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:22.080
wild ass

127
00:04:22.080 --> 00:04:23.310
and we did learn to put the

128
00:04:23.310 --> 00:04:25.290
safety on between positions that we were

129
00:04:25.290 --> 00:04:27.120
going to and we're also having a

130
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:28.530
load while we move so there's a

131
00:04:28.530 --> 00:04:30.630
lotta things going on that just safety

132
00:04:30.630 --> 00:04:33.060
was key right so you'd have an

133
00:04:33.060 --> 00:04:34.680
extended tube here so you've got a

134
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.230
lot more capacity of its seven plus

135
00:04:37.230 --> 00:04:37.650
one

136
00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:41.280
but let's dive into all of the

137
00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:42.540
accoutrements they use so

138
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:45.600
this class we had a sling very

139
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:47.790
comfortable sling two points so obviously i

140
00:04:47.790 --> 00:04:48.750
had that one that was further out

141
00:04:48.750 --> 00:04:50.280
on the barrel clamp and the rerun

142
00:04:50.280 --> 00:04:51.930
that was on the buttstock you can

143
00:04:51.930 --> 00:04:53.580
run whatever sling you like but definitely

144
00:04:53.580 --> 00:04:55.151
get used to having a sling you

145
00:04:55.260 --> 00:04:57.000
have probably a ctb rifle at home

146
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:58.440
or in your truck and you probably

147
00:04:58.440 --> 00:05:00.030
have it slung the same thing with

148
00:05:00.030 --> 00:05:02.190
shotgun you need a good slang here's

149
00:05:02.190 --> 00:05:03.390
where the shotgun has come into play

150
00:05:05.250 --> 00:05:07.530
our tactical fanny pack and i love

151
00:05:07.530 --> 00:05:09.360
these actually carry some guns and some

152
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.420
fanny packs though this is easily adjustable

153
00:05:12.420 --> 00:05:14.790
to set up to you may buckle

154
00:05:14.790 --> 00:05:16.650
in here we are are tactical fanny

155
00:05:16.650 --> 00:05:18.990
pack but those shot guards go right

156
00:05:18.990 --> 00:05:21.540
inside here so you have velcro with

157
00:05:21.540 --> 00:05:23.430
all of these shells loaded up say

158
00:05:23.430 --> 00:05:23.910
you were

159
00:05:24.030 --> 00:05:25.560
shooting your shotgun you run out of

160
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:27.270
shells you can just pull this one

161
00:05:27.270 --> 00:05:29.370
off okay and then you feel that

162
00:05:29.370 --> 00:05:30.810
loop down here you don't look down

163
00:05:30.990 --> 00:05:32.430
pull it off slap it back on

164
00:05:32.430 --> 00:05:34.200
the side now you've got a fully

165
00:05:34.200 --> 00:05:35.700
loaded shot card ready to go on

166
00:05:35.700 --> 00:05:37.800
the shotguns so i absolutely love this

167
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:40.350
design which is really amazing they've got

168
00:05:40.440 --> 00:05:42.930
external velcro kind of on both sides

169
00:05:43.260 --> 00:05:44.160
and then you have your front

170
00:05:44.190 --> 00:05:46.050
little pouch which is kind of fun

171
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:47.880
we went downrange as the one hundred

172
00:05:47.880 --> 00:05:49.320
yards logged our targets and on the

173
00:05:49.320 --> 00:05:51.810
bottom i kept all the metal pieces

174
00:05:53.070 --> 00:05:54.600
so i came back from thunder ranch

175
00:05:55.320 --> 00:05:58.140
with you know some fun memorabilia i

176
00:05:58.140 --> 00:05:59.430
couldn't i couldn't let him not go

177
00:05:59.730 --> 00:06:01.770
and anyways we had a blast there

178
00:06:01.770 --> 00:06:03.090
so i love this fanny pack i

179
00:06:03.090 --> 00:06:05.520
definitely recommend getting some sort of carrying

180
00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:06.750
equipment if you are going to have

181
00:06:06.750 --> 00:06:08.490
this whether it's in your in your

182
00:06:08.490 --> 00:06:11.160
car at home you need backup ammunition

183
00:06:11.490 --> 00:06:13.110
i do love that it has the

184
00:06:13.110 --> 00:06:13.200
key

185
00:06:13.200 --> 00:06:14.580
catty here i don't really like some

186
00:06:14.580 --> 00:06:15.870
of the buttstock caddies that are out

187
00:06:15.870 --> 00:06:16.800
there and just kind of gets in

188
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:18.840
the way but this really worked a

189
00:06:18.840 --> 00:06:21.780
lot really well and how about holliston

190
00:06:22.110 --> 00:06:23.910
this is a very small red dot

191
00:06:23.940 --> 00:06:25.920
optic you would be surprised because of

192
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:27.540
course you're shooting slugs and buck and

193
00:06:27.540 --> 00:06:29.310
bird shot but you'd be very surprised

194
00:06:29.310 --> 00:06:30.690
at how easy and intuitive it is

195
00:06:30.690 --> 00:06:31.920
to shoot a shotgun with a red

196
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:32.940
dot optic on it

197
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:34.470
been shooting red dots for a long

198
00:06:34.470 --> 00:06:37.320
time but the hollow sons are durable

199
00:06:37.710 --> 00:06:39.630
and easy to side in we zeroed

200
00:06:39.630 --> 00:06:41.190
our guns with our slugs had one

201
00:06:41.190 --> 00:06:43.290
hundred yards and then we actually went

202
00:06:43.290 --> 00:06:45.810
out and confirmed our buckshot we confirmed

203
00:06:45.810 --> 00:06:47.610
our bird shot patterns so that was

204
00:06:47.610 --> 00:06:48.810
really nice and fun to do but

205
00:06:49.020 --> 00:06:50.340
also makes a great optic and it

206
00:06:50.340 --> 00:06:52.020
sits really low so just like you

207
00:06:52.020 --> 00:06:53.520
would with a concealed carry pistol right

208
00:06:53.640 --> 00:06:55.800
a defensive gun you want a small

209
00:06:55.980 --> 00:06:58.290
kind of defensive optic on the shotgun

210
00:06:58.290 --> 00:06:59.430
and one that's going to last so

211
00:06:59.910 --> 00:07:02.280
i'm just so excited so let's talk

212
00:07:02.280 --> 00:07:03.660
about the punisher because you'll see this

213
00:07:03.660 --> 00:07:05.820
footage in this video the punisher we

214
00:07:05.820 --> 00:07:08.370
were the first shotgun class ever to

215
00:07:08.370 --> 00:07:10.200
get to go through the punisher it

216
00:07:10.200 --> 00:07:12.480
was a thing where the instructors put

217
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:13.680
you through hell you got just

218
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.420
shoot in so many different positions we

219
00:07:15.420 --> 00:07:16.710
started out shooting out of a phone

220
00:07:16.710 --> 00:07:18.120
booth and then with a shotgun you

221
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:18.960
had to figure out how to get

222
00:07:18.960 --> 00:07:21.360
out of there you're loading between positions

223
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:22.950
you shot off of a rooftop you

224
00:07:22.950 --> 00:07:24.330
had to shoot through a metal fence

225
00:07:24.630 --> 00:07:25.680
you had to shoot through a kind

226
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:27.300
of a concrete wall that was blasted

227
00:07:27.300 --> 00:07:28.710
up they made us go on our

228
00:07:28.710 --> 00:07:30.120
side and shoot from the side of

229
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:32.190
this rock and the last position which

230
00:07:32.190 --> 00:07:33.810
was so cool because it's actually

231
00:07:33.840 --> 00:07:35.250
been used in a shoot out before

232
00:07:35.610 --> 00:07:37.440
was the rear of a tailgate of

233
00:07:37.440 --> 00:07:40.350
a truck we climbed in and we

234
00:07:40.350 --> 00:07:42.660
actually shot kind of prone and if

235
00:07:42.660 --> 00:07:44.010
you guys have never shot an unconventional

236
00:07:44.010 --> 00:07:46.110
positions especially with organs you'd be surprised

237
00:07:46.110 --> 00:07:47.100
at how hard it is to kind

238
00:07:47.100 --> 00:07:49.830
of get position have the buttstock somewhere

239
00:07:50.010 --> 00:07:52.020
where when that recoil when the gun

240
00:07:52.020 --> 00:07:54.000
actually recoils the round that's in

241
00:07:54.030 --> 00:07:55.500
there comes out you got the brass

242
00:07:55.500 --> 00:07:56.820
out and what have you but it

243
00:07:56.820 --> 00:07:58.290
was just a fun time you stub

244
00:07:58.290 --> 00:07:59.670
your front fiber optic as well if

245
00:07:59.790 --> 00:08:01.140
that's something where you don't like the

246
00:08:01.320 --> 00:08:02.820
the red dot take it off run

247
00:08:02.820 --> 00:08:04.680
your fiber but i had a blast

248
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:06.240
