Close Quarters Shotgun Technique

Shotguns can be excellent tools for home defense, but their long overall length presents some challenges for maneuvering in tight spaces. Today we're looking at a technique called "short stocking" that was developed to meet those challenges. Short stocking has long been used by law enforcement and other entry teams but it's equally relevant for the armed citizen at home.

The demo pump shotgun used in the "talking head" portions of this video is an off-the-shelf Remington 870 with an 18.5" barrel.
The shooting demo was done with a Remington 870 with a Magpul stock and a (very) old Surefire forend with a Malkoff Devices LED conversion.
The semi-auto in the shooting demo is a Beretta 1301 Tactical with an Aimpoint micro and Magpul furniture with adapters and a shell carrier from Aridus Industries.
Rob Haught's demo shotgun is a Wilson Combat Rob Haught Special.

@rodgersmith1573 4 жыл бұрын

To those of whom you speak, might I encourage them to do some research on the historical uses and necessities of such heat shields. WWI trench warfare dictated the need for a heat shield due to bayonet charges, due to the manner in which a firearm is held during a charge. For those that may be so inclined to see specific examples of this, search up Winchester 1897's, Model 12's, Ithaca 37's, Remington Model 10 'trench guns', etc. Whomever thinks it a bunch of 'nonsense', I dare say, are those whom you should not seek advice. If a device is rarely necessary, but has the potential to become crucial, especially during a time of imminent danger, is it not worth having such device?

If they wanted to do something like that, they should have passed a Constitutional Amendment to reword the 2nd Amendment. They instead did an end run around the Constitution, and have never been called out on it. It is also true that Congress cannot delegate its legislative authority to the executive branch.

Practicing with the glove is probably the best scenario. Our bodies don’t like strained and complicated movements like wrenching your wrist. If you ever have to use your shotgun against an intruder, your adrenaline will be so high you aren’t going to feel the heat of the barrel, but your brain will revert to those basic movements that have been trained over and over. Gripping over the barrel makes it possible to use the muzzle for striking as well. It’s a good way to make space.

I would also suggest for those that don't have a 18.5" security barrel on their shotgun, invest in a well build adjustable stock. It made using my maverick 88 inside my home a lot simpler, and this technique lends itself well to an adjustable stock. Though I do plan on purchasing a 18.5" security barrel, I also have a stock that uses the pistol grip which makes it that much easier keeping the gun from hitting me in the face. I can't count how many times I did that with the standard stock on it.

Do you practice all of your gun techniques with the left hand as well, or even one handed? It could be life-saving if one arm, particularly your strong arm, is incapacitated. A video about that would be invaluable.

@manuelmenendez8239 3 жыл бұрын

Sidearm, would be very difficult to operate a long gun effectively with a single arm, under duress. Practice operating your side arm with one hand. Practicing unlikely scenarios would probably be better spent elsewhere.

If you're running a 12 gauge with one hand then it might be time to switch to bayonets and e-tools.

I have the benefit of owning a KSG, and not having to worry about length. On a serious note, we need to make bullpup shotguns more of a thing for home defense.

@sophiagodsfrend5513 4 жыл бұрын

Stuckgrenadepin what do you mean not really? i have a KSG for home defense... its ideal for the job. and since we all have homes to defend, why shouldn’t everyone be encouraged to own something like it with a bullpup design? you’re “not really” is a flip comment that lacks thoughtfulness. if every home had a KSG, home invasions would be extremely rare.

@HeartTribe 4 жыл бұрын

@Stuckgrenadepin your comments make sense, but I think that the difference in muzzle flash and sound between a bullpup and regular is not something matters. It's still very close to you in either setup.

@sophiagodsfrend5513 4 жыл бұрын

Stuckgrenadepin nonsense... any round fired indoors will affect hearing... and you better have a light mounted so you know where your shooting. i load mine with #8 birdshot... check Paul Harrell’s video on that... once #8 penetrates a meat target it won’t go through two layers of sheetrock... its as safe as anything fired indoors when it comes to over penetration and judging from the baseball sized hole in the meat target it WILL get the job done. room sized distances indoors are typically less than 5 yards... i’ll trust my aim and mounted red dot and light and 14+1 capacity as much as any AR you so fond of. shotguns have been the gold standard for home defense for over 100 years... making a shorter one that’s mostly all barrel (18.5in) and reliable and maneuverable makes sense. really. no... really.

Good information. I have a side by side 12 gauge with a 18" barrel and "youth" stock (you could call it a classic coach gun ) which is a good bit shorter then a 18" barreled Moss 500 or Rem 870. I just tried this technique moving around my home and up and down stairs and I can see it's utility. However I'm not looking forward to taking it to the range and firing it this way. Definitely going to start out with something light at first. One other observation is that if you have a mounted flashlight this may or may not effect how you want to mount that light. Just something to think about.

@LuckyGunner 5 жыл бұрын

Yes, the position of the light absolutely has an impact on which techniques are going to be best. I think the Surefire forend makes light activation as easy as it could possibly be with a shotgun, but unfortunately they don't make one of those for the 1301 yet :(

For work I actually carry my M4 like this if we're going through thick woodland and we're running really fast. It reduces the chance of getting caught on a branch or something but I don't actually shoot it this way. Granted it's a lot shorter with only a 14.5" barrel but this method is very useful in multiple applications

Just watched this after your commentary on the mossberg shockwave. Personally I think if you have to rely on a shotgun and want to use this technique makes the shockwave style of shotgun a completely relevant option for defense... Even though you lose the 3rd point of contact and the ergonomics of having a stock, it solves the problem of wanting to make a long gun short in a tactical situation in my mind. Practice makes perfect for most things. Helpful information in both videos though.

I just realized that those 45 degree off set iron sights might be perfect for this technique- what do you think? The 45 degree offset is right where your eyes are gonna be if you tilt the gun slightly like this angle requires ( I know its not 90 degrees, but perhaps the compromise is worth the added accuracy). Great video!

@springer-qb4dv 2 жыл бұрын

Yes holding shotgun at 90 degrees is so awkward. 45 degrees is much more comfortable and still allows holding stock above upper arm/shoulder.

So, I have a Remington 870 Express which is ridiculously long for being indoors. I bought another Remi 870 18” and purchased the Sage TS870R. Slapped it on along with a Hogue over molded fore end and a mag tube extension. Thing is sick, right and ready for the house. I test cleared my hallway and it’s awesome to have something I can shorten up in a jiffy to get around those corners. Really, I totally appreciate what was said about “chasing” the threat. If I suspected someone was in my house, I’d reach for the 870, slowly and quietly clear the hallway, and post up in a defense position staying locked toward the end of the hallway. Calling out to the intruder with a, “Come down the hallway and you will be shot,” might best thing to while maintaining that defensive position so you’ve made it known you’re serious (anybody disagree?). I’d rather defend the hallway and keep my children safe then risk becoming a casualty, which in turn puts my wife and kids at risk of becoming casualties as well. A few of my friends look at how I think about guns and defense like I’m a kid playing cowboys and Indians, and I hope 100% I never have to utilize my defensive tools to protect myself and family. But, it’s nice having those tools 🤙
