TR Nation! This week I brush over available rounds for a 12 Gauge shotgun. I am not reviewing any specific ammunition but if our loyal viewers have a specific brand they want tested, leave a comment and we will be more than happy to do a review!
Now, I know the fight continues over the best weapon for home defense but in reality, you defend your home with the firearm you have, not the one you want. Shotgun ammunition comes in many shapes and sizes and when trained to utilize said ammunition accordingly, can provide for a very lethal (or non-lethal) option for home defense or training.
What a shotgun ammunition review boils down to is what is right for you for hunting, home defense or sport. In my experience, I have found that you want to buy the minimally effective round for the task. I don’t get into shooting and analyzing each individual round but whatever round gets the most comments/questions, I will absolutely do a video providing a further deep dive into that round and its capabilities.
In the SEAL Teams, shotguns were used primarily for breaching wood doors at the hinges. I carried one for a while during Jungle Warfare to defend against front side enemy contact as a point man. This tactic was useful to get multiple rounds off and heads down while we got the big guns online. For the record, I also carried an M-4 with a M203 launcher.
I hope the video was helpful and as always, I look forward to your comments.

Thanks for the advice
Hostage situation where the fuck does this guy live Russia
Best round I think is a 3in turkey nitro round really tight group but very powerful.
Thank you for this video I've been arguing with my brother over shooting thru walls this was 100% accurate.. he has several ar.s different cal. He says is great I firmly believe in the shotgun time tested and true.
what about the 3" nitro mag?
If they have your loved one hostage, you're probably going to give them whatever it is that they want, not start shooting.
This was unintentionally funny as hell thanks man 👍
rock salt
I miss the old slamfire capable pump action shotguns..
Very informative thanks
Shotguns are basically buffed muskets
I liked your video.
Had an ex-girlfriend that entered my home unwillingly 😆
I'll show myself out 😔

Any ammo is better than no ammo!
Re-visit? Theres a lot of new ammo out there since this video came out
I use 12 pellet
2 3/4 00 buck .
For “home defence” I use 12 gauge 2 3/4 inch 8 pellet low recoil “00” buck.
What Batman belt is that? I'm looking for one….
10/10 on the looks… aggression only can be cured with more aggression, rght?…

I like the way that first breeching round slapped that plate. That's a very nasty round.
Pretty shitty vid. No spray pattern demo, no flavor
Check out Federal tactical reduced recoil 8 pellet 00 Buck with flite control. Very tight patterns and eliminates the issue with the 9 pellet flier.
