Shotgun Ammo Cartridge Pouch

This Shotgun Ammo Cartridge Pouch holds 16 20g or 12g shells. Any self defense I’m likely to be in is going to be close quarters. That makes me want a 1 oz slug and buckshot. When it comes to survival, personal protection, and Zombies, I am a Shotgun man. Very few things are going to take a slug or buckshot and keep moving, much less get back up. Because a Shotgun is my primary weapon I usually attach three of these Shotgun Ammo Cartridge Pouches to my Tactical Vest. This gives me an additional 48 shot shells of stopping power. Sure, it can add a bit of weight, but it’s worth the extra strain on my legs for the firepower it gives me.

The other reason a Shotgun is my preferred weapon is that it gives me lots of capabilities in a single platform. I can throw some birdshot in to hunt fowl or even incendiary rounds if I want the option of reeking some havoc.

Whether its hunting or self defense, my Shotgun gives me tons of options. A critical part of that flexibility is being able to carry whatever Shotshells I want in these Shotgun Ammo Cartridge Pouches.

Because I’m a 12g user I’m going to suggest starting small. If you are small, get a .410. Once you master that, move up to 20g. If you can handle that you can move on to 12g.

Then start shooting clays. It is an awesome sport and it keeps your shotgun skills strong!

Shooting Vest

Normally my Shooting Vest is full of target loads while I am shooting clays. But, this Shooting Vest easily holds 100+ shells, and no one questions seeing it in my vehicle, because they know I shoot clays. It means I can store all kinds of self defense ammunition close at hand.

Guess what? This Shooting Vest holds slugs just as well as target loads, and since I’m a shotgun guy, I trust a 12G slug to knock down a Zombie or any attacker much more than a handgun or rifle round. Those smaller caliber weapons are much more likely to “punch through” the target and leave the target on its feet. They might still bleed out or die, but its not an instant kill. I’m positive if I hit a target with a 12G slug its losing an arm or a leg. A center mass shot is going to bring down anyone not wearing body armor.

When it comes to self defense, I’ll take a 12G over a rifle any day of the week.

Shooting Vest Scoring

This Shooting Vest can have a High Impact on your survival and scores 520/1000.

  • Zipper closure
  • Fits right and left-handed shooters
  • Moveable shoulder/recoil pad
  • Adjustable side straps
  • Shell and hull pockets
  • Mesh body for cooler wear

Bad Gun Handling – Shotgun Flip Loading

Shotgun Flip Loading might by really cool looking but it is just not the way to handle a firearm. Yes, this move from T2 makes this look very cool, but in practice you end up pointing the dangerous end of that weapon right at yourself. What if you had a misfire and it goes off just as your swinging it?

This is awesome in a movie, but not so much in real life.

Bad Gun Handling = Shotgunning Whiskey
Safety First

Why do I show these videos? Because I like to go to the range and every one of these videos gives the non shooting public a bad impression of the total shooting community.

Always follow the four basic rules of Gun Safety:

  1. Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction.
  2. Treat all guns as though they are loaded.
  3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
  4. Always be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.

Wear good Safety Gear and learn the proper skills to shoot safety.

This is a clear violation of Rule 1. No way that weapon is being pointed in a safe direction. Obviously when it is being twirled its being directed right at the shooter and anyone else behind them!

Bad Gun Handling – Accidental Shotgun Discharge

Training is important. It teaches you to do the same thing, every time, no matter what stress you are under. I am sure this gentlemen was excited because of the competition, and that caused him to put his finger on that trigger as he closed the break action shotgun, and caused an accidental discharge. Thankfully, it does not look like anyone was hurt.

Clearly this is a violation of Rule 3. Keep that finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. The shooter is clearly trying to move fast here. Instead, train slow and gradually speed up until you are comfortable moving more quickly.

Bad Gun Handling – Properly Maintained And Serviced

A Properly Maintained And Serviced won’t blow up like that. This guy is so lucky he didn’t lose a hand, and eye, or his life. I have no idea what the root cause of this catastrophic failure is, but I do know that in general if you understand how your weapons breaks down and should function, you reduce the chances that something like this will happen by keeping thing in proper working order.

I hope this guy didn’t lose an eye or worse, his life. If you are going to play with projectiles, make sure you take appropriate safety precautions!

Bad Gun Handling – 12g Pistol Grip

Handing a novice shooter a 12g Pistol Grip is just Bad Gun Handling. I know people want to shoot the big guns that make the loudest noise sometimes. I get it. People see a ton of movies where people are double wielding shotguns. That is movie magic people! It’s not real! Gun owners and range owners have to make sure shooters don’t get hurt – because if they do get hurt they aren’t going to enjoy the sport.

I don’t blame this fellow, I blame whoever handed him that 12g.

Bad Gun Handling – 12G Pistol Grip Edition

Today’s edition of Bad Gun Handling is brought to you by the 12G Pistol Grip. It is not for novices. Don’t hand novices a pistol grip shotgun!

This is a clear violation of Rule 2. Handing a novice shooter a 12G Pistol Grip shotgun is just asking for trouble. Start with a full rifle. For smaller shooters I start with a .410 shell. Then we progress to a 20G. If they can handle that I’ll move on to the 12G rifle. Finally, and maybe, I’ll introduce the a pistol grip shotgun.

Bad Gun Handling – One Handed 12G

Dentists love this One Handed 12G trick that earns them millions every year. Or, you could be smart and not do this.

How many ways is this bad?

No shirt on to protect him from hot brass.

Those sunglasses do not look safety rated to me.

The kid with the phone looks like he may be even with or in front of the shooters position, putting him at risk if something goes wrong.

And of course, shooting a 12 g with an arm outstretched is just asking fir trouble.

I hope he was okay and didn’t lose a tooth. That looks like it hurt.

Bad Gun Handling – 12g Pain

You do not want to feel 12g Pain. It can knock out teeth, leave bruises, and kill if you aren’t lucky. This is Bad Gun Handling.

Who gives a new shooter a shotgun with no stock?

This is not a weapon for a novice shooter. You need to push that weapon forward on the strap to help deal with the recoil, and you can see she barely has the grip in her palm, which caused all the recoil to hit her thumb. Hopefully its not broken.

Bad Gun Handling – 12G Kick

12G Kick does not care if your a buck five or three hundred pounds. If you aren’t trained it will pull that shogun out of your hands.

Is this gentleman ready for that 12G Kick? I highly doubt it. Look at how he puzzles with what I think is the safety first. Then he has his thumb above the weapon and not wrapped around the pistol grip. New shooters need training. Guns are not toys.

It scares me to see someone who clearly needs some training and familiarizing with that shotgun:
