"Everybody likes to accessorize these things like it's an M4. It's Not." Best quote for a modern fighting shotgun ever.

It’s nice to see the instructor interview to get a flavor of their personality and theory. I say keep this up.

That's probably the nicest camera that's ever been pointed at Steve, something uncanny about seeing him in this high a resolution. Up til now I thought he only lived in real life and 240p.

Steve is one of my friends that I know will tell the unvarnished truth. Too many people dismiss the shotgun because they have not developed the skills to run one effectively and efficiently. A well maintained and equipped shotgun used by a trained gun owner is a devastating CQB weapon. It's significantly harder to run a shotgun in a training class compared to running a AR/AK in class.

Steve is such a good communicator that anyone watching this video should feel complelled to take a shotgun class and learn how to do it the right way.

Love the shotgun content. Most gun channels ignore them, I'm glad you're giving them their due. Still a very effective weapon and a valid choice for defense.

Hit the head on the nail!! I love my shotgun. When I first hit the streets in Huntsville, Alabama, patrol officers didn’t have shotguns. Eventually issued, they were the only long guns we carried for a good many years. I find it to be versatile and flexible to the mission, and easily a match for patrol rifles in most of the engagement distances faced by officers.

Great format. I'd love to see Rhett Neumayer, Claude Werner, Wayne Dobbs, Darryll Bolke, Tom Givens, Craig Douglas or a number of other guys in this format.

I had to qual with an 870 in the CG (1988) We shot standing, kneeling and from the hip! Love a shotgun. I used one when I was a cop and still use one for home defense (I live in a neighborhood) and it fills my requirements w/o worry about over penetrating (#4buck) my brick home. “ A single round of buckshot to the torso almost always results in an immediate change of behavior.” Chris Baker

1:53 '....like an M4 - it's not. Alright - it's a lot more violent weapon, a lot more violent gun...' - Paul likes that! Direct answers by a shotgun master - awesome! Instructors take note - the rest of you - 'don't be lazy'..... Nice job Chris!

Steve is a great guy and an awesome trainer. He is not trying to sell you a bunch of crap you don't need. he gives it to you straight

Took both his shotgun and pistol class in one long weekend in 2017, absolutely worth every penny. I still reference the notes I took those days and glean something new from them.

He is 100% right about everything! I've taken a couple of shotgun classes. One taught by Louis Awerbuck and one by Bill Davison at Tac Pro. Louis Awerbuck focused a lot on what was around your target. In front and behind. As far as bolt on's go, a good 18.5 shotgun with a 4+1 capacity can out-shoot YOU right out of the box. Bolting crap to it won't make you any better at using it. Check the basic boxes. A good ammo delivery system (side saddle/shotgun card/dump pouch), a good set of sights, a simple 2-point sling, a light and you're set to go to a class and learn without fighting your gear.

It was great shooting with ya that day! Learned a heckuva lot from Steve. Y'all, take this class, it's a great starter for learning shotguns. Learned a lot about my gun and gear, found that some of the kit I had wasn't right for me and wound up running my backup shotgun, a 5-shot wood-stocked Mossberg, better than my original defense gun. And Steve's classes are super affordable, I think I spent more on an Airbnb and gas than the actual class itself and the ammo I shot

Absolutely do more of these.Very beneficial and we thank you.

Nicely done Chris. And, Steve's thoughts towards the end - priceless.

That was great! Really enjoyed the format, and Steve's manner and direct answers. Cheers!

Great info from Steve in his normal no-nonsense style. Every time I see an interview with Steve I remember why I want to take one of his classes when my schedule matches up with his. Really good video, thanks for putting it up for all of us.

Excellent format! Thank you!

Shooting my 1301 makes me giggle it’s so much fun, I just love blasting big holes in paper targets with Fiocchi low recoil slugs (arthritis). Thanks Chris

This was awesome. Definitely more of these q+a videos would be appreciated

I like the format and the length of the video- rich in content over a relatively short run-time. Thumbs up and well done.

Steve is an amazing instructor! His shotgun course is on my wishlist for sure.

Time well spent!! Thank you VERY much!! 👍😁

Love the video/ format - keep it up!

Great format, really like seeing the instructor knowledge and hearing what he sees on the range and during classes. So much attention to rifle and pistol everywhere out there. Shotgun is under rated in so many ways. Fantastic options for home and vehicle set ups. Thanks Chris!

Really enjoyed the class , and thanks for the great interview with Steve afterwords .

Great content from Steve! I took a pistol course with him in 2016 - helped so much!

This was good. This is a good way to be introduced to reputable, vetted instructors and get more information on classes they’re holding while getting an idea of what their in-person classes are like. More vids like this, please!

Love the interview. Almost nothing replaces the hands on training, especially from such a highly qualified instructor!

Awesome stuff. Love the format.

I went to Steve’s class in January, in California. Awesome class and instructor. I highly recommend his shotgun classes. And yes, please more instructor interviews like this.

I do like this format. Great questions, Chris. Well done

I really enjoy your videos. They are all so well executed and I’ve learned from each of them. I also enjoyed this new Q&A format and look forward to more. Thanks for the great videos.

love this format! Thank you!

This format was awesome. Well done, Sir.

Always appreciate you keeping the faith with shotguns Chris, it really is under served content in guntube. Would love to see a segment on suppressing shotguns in the future.

Loved it! Great Q&A…. Keep that going. Thanks!

Great video. Really appreciate Mr Smith’s honesty and him sharing his insights. Better than how-to videos.

Steve is a great guy and a good friend. Glad to see you feature him.

Yeah, this was flat out excellent, Chris! More of this, please.

Great interview! No one talks about the shotgun very often. Keep the interviews coming!

I love Lucky Gunner. A great website to a great KZfaq channel. You are an invaluable resource.

One of my favorite Lucky Gunner videos ever.

Always good content. Like this format.

That was an awesome class Chris! Good meeting and training with you! Fisher classes are always a good time

Good format. Good info. Thank you!

Steve has a world of knowledge and love listening to him on IG. Always learning something. 😊😃👍🏽

Great format, really like it!

Had not heard of Steve Fisher. Q and A format introduced me to Mr. Fisher and some excellent information. Thanks

Pure gold perspective, superbly edited.

Great information. Steve always tells it like it is.

Fantastic video. Steve proving once again- Wisdom over Knowledge!

Love the format.

Great video. Would like to see more of this style. Thanks for the content.

Good video, good format, thanks

Love it Chris! Please do more!

Yes, great format and very informative....

Yes luv the format...keep it up

Chris, love your videos, and especially the ones about shotguns.

Good stuff!! More videos like this are very welcome!

Yes. I like this format. Thanks for the video.

Really good interview

Everything Steve said is solid gold there. Excellent video. I agree, take a class. I have one scheduled for February! I My last one, different crew / company, and really looking forward to this one. I have been shooting shotguns since I was a kid. I learned combat shotgun fist in the USMC at age 19. I am 61 and still training. Stay safe and stay frosty all you shotgun enthusiasts.

Yes, more of that type of format, very informative

Oh yeah! Great format!

Very helpful to hear from an expert and also, I am already one of your customers. Thanks for this post

Great points! I'd like to see more of these.

This is fantastic and really made me rethink my shotgun game, thanks!

Great interview! Nothing good comes free.

Quite Informative ! Yes, More Please ! Sounds Like A Much Needed Class For Most Of Us !!!

Yes please!!! Would love more stuff like this

I’m late to the game here but I loved this format, Chris. Grazie!

Chris, I thought this was excellent, I appreciated it greatly, and I urge you/Lucky Gunner to have similar presentations.

I'm calling it now if this format moves forward. Daryl bolke talking about wheelguns

That was excellent. I would like more of those interviews. Yes, get out there and shoot the weapon and see how you do and how it does!

The internet is an awesome learning tool and you can learn a great deal by using it to your advantage and putting in the work to do your research. Still there's no substitute for getting out there and practicing. Great vid

Good info, as always

Loved this video! Keep it up.

Good solid advice, Steve is an experienced guy

Top-drawer video! Excellent information.

good format. good concept. of course it helps to have an articulate and knowledgeable interviewee👍🏻

Great video!!! Great info and I like his “old school” mindset. I will take training courses from him because of this video. When possible feature him more often!!!!! It is clear, when it comes to shotguns, he has forgotten more than most of will ever know. Thanks again for the great video from an expert!!!!!

"The gun is simple - it doesn't have to be complex." Sage advice. Too many people want to turn their shotguns into decked-out ARs (also generally a mistake, imo, but trendy). There's advantage in simplicity.

I like this format!

Very much liked this video. You should definitely try to do more of these.

Great format

Amazing video, great info!

Yeah, deff like this format. Great video thanks!

Awesome interview.

I just love shotguns. I agree people have left them behind for AR platforms and for pistol caliber carbines. I get it they are really good but no one can downplay the lethality of a good shotgun. Awesome video. Thanks.

Great and informative video with all info and no bravado.

how could we not like the format? good info presented very clearly.

Excellent format please do some more

I’ve known Steve for many years now. In short: He knows his stuff. I don’t know of an instructor who takes as many classes as Steve does. No joke: If he’s not holding a class, he is taking one. He’s always on the road. He can take all that knowledge, sift through it all, try it all, work with it all, determine what is good info and what is not, and refine some and delete others. The result is he will teach us all the good.

Love videos like this

Still gold. Thx

And this is just scratching the surface of the knowledge he offers.

Great information

Great video, thanks Chris.
