When the man holding the shotgun has a mouth full of extra shells, you know you have picked the wrong house.

"With a good 12 gauge, theres not much on this planet im afraid of" lmao now thats some truth hahaha

"You might hear someone rack their shotgun but with this you hear *super quiet click* one second before BOOM" these are facts

I got three in my mouth, two up my nose, and another one I can't tell you about. Secret Squirrel stuff.

Was cleaning out my uncle’s safe and found one of these in .410. I also found a double barrel break action that belongs to my dad in 20 gauge and a pump action in 20 gauge as well. I’m gonna clean them up and take em to a smith to have anything broken repaired and surprise the two of them for Christmas with their restored guns. Great video sir!

This guy can shoot a single shot faster than most people can rack a slide on a pump action. Thanks for the tip!

I thought he's going to spit those cartridge into the chamber. 😸

2:31 That's what she said.

Place shells in between fingers on non-trigger hand with brass towards palm when hand closed. Push shells into barrel with thumb after expended shell ejected. Easy with practice. Been doing it for over 50 years.

Thank you. I recently bought a single shot and this did make me laugh. It will get the job done. Don't really need the crazy guns of today. Most people are not in xtreme combat situations. Thanks again. 😊

"About one second before I Hammer Down", should be a quote in a Clint Eastwood movie. Loved it

My first shotgun was an Iver Johnson 20 gauge, full choke. I wasn't good at fast reloading, but learning to hunt with that gun, taught me to make sure that the first shot is the one that counted. Great little gun. I bought it used for $20 and it and they threw in a bag of high-brass. That would have been 56 years ago. I still have it.

That shotgun is in nice condition

Best survival gun ever. With the correct inserts, you can bring down any game in North America.

I absolutely love the fact that people like you have access to the internet.

"3 plus 1 semi- automatic self loader" I like what you did there!!!

Single shot shotguns and Good Ole boy ! . . It don't get any better than that. . . . As Hickok 45 would say " life is good"

When I was young at 12 years old in the year 92' my dad taught me to shoot with a 20 gauge single shot he had showed me to aim shoot and after the shot was done, hit the breaking button let it drop down and at the same time reaching in my pocket and load another and as you raise the rifle you already have the hammer bulled back so when you are looking down the sight pull the trigger. I used that method and i did out shoot some people while skeet shooting. But i am meaning this to share and help.

Absolutely...i have an old JC Higgins that i placed a 2 shot saddle on as well as do the mouth technique. Gives me about 7 shots before rummaging though my pockets or carrier. Not just a southern thing as for im a city boy from Boston MA. Been doing that trick since the 70s, since my first time shooting it. Yes I still have it and it still runs smooth. And like you said, Id grab that in a home defense situation over my 870 pump or benelli semi. Or even over the Mossberg that was my "home defense 12 gauge" purchase. Just because of the simplicity and the stealth of the single "click" of the hammer. Yes racking a pump makes people sh!t themselves but gives of a sound of tour location as well as gets whomever ready if they are armed as well. The JC Higgins 101.1(Savage 94) its just dang better off in that type of situation. Hopefully i would never need more than 3 shots in my home for an intruder/intruders. Great video. Flashbacks of my grand dad n uncle talking to me as a youngin.

I love Your ingenuity. I had a friend years ago, I was about 14 to 16 years old and he was about 22 he was stationed here in Pensacola in the Navy he would come out to our farm and borrow my 16 ga single shot like you'res and we would go quail hunting. I knew where they stayed in the late afternoon and I would flush the covey he could get 2 or 3 shots on the covey rise, accurate shots, he rarely missed. I'm 67 now and I will never forget the times we had shooting quail and dove in and around our corn and soybean fields. Thanks for the video it brought back some great memories.

literally "tongue in cheek" great vid, thank you. ill remember this technique

Said Kentucky, immediately liked

I guess a lot of us at some point, were married to "speed loaders". The disadvantage was that you would have to take them along on that trip and find a way to keep the "loader" closed for the duration of the trip. Others (like myself) would just get rid of that "speed loader" altogether and live a happy, prosperous life.

This was great. Some years ago, a friend lent me his 28 guage shotgun to go dove hunting with. It was a double barrel, and later I asked my father to find me one in that caliber. He found a single shot. I forget the brand. Anyway, I've wondered ever since why I went ahead and got a single shot, but with this, it answers the problem. It's a beautiful little gun, and I've always thought it would be real handy to use, except for being a single shot. This really helps a lot.

Mom always said: necessity is the mother of invention. And hillbillies will be bested by no one.😂 Good Vid 😀

nice video, and handy . but one of the advantages of hunting with a single shot is it forces you to focus and you shoot a lot better than you so with a repeater

That was an excellent tutorial! Thanks much as I own a single shot 12 gauge and I knew there must have been a method for rapid firing!

This is how dad thought us to reload when we were kids in Indiana huntn quail rabbit and squirrels.... brings back lots of good memories !

hammer back and hammer down in an emergency .... thanks for sharing. My wife says she likes the technic and I should always be ready 24/7. It left me speechless.

Had me cracking up! Grabbing an old stevens single shot 12 gauge tomorrow for $40!!!

Thanks! This was more informative than most we see! Good shooting!

I've had my Winchester model 37 since I was 12 years old. Used to speed load and enjoyed it very much. I am now 79 and live down here in Gantt Alabama. I live on the banks of the Conecuh River and fish and hunt till my heart's content.

that's an awesome southern accent you got there! very cool raspy voice. perfect for TV!

I also have one bought more than 35 yrs ago. Shot it no more than 24 rounds. Yes siree HK 12 single shot no malfunctions.

Nice video. My dad gave me his 16ga Iver Johnson single barrel when I was eleven (68 now). I have since given it to my son.

I don't care I like it. Good video like talking with a friend. And I will say this 12-gauge will kill anything on North American continent. Everybody in my little town has one. That's why there's no breaking and entering. You break in but you ain't walking out.

Results may vary 😂 that was too funny.

I have the same model shot gun, the history is a young American boy packed up his gear about the 1920s and came to New Zealand for a job on a NZ Station (large farm) in Canterbury , South Island. He loved the farm , the area, and people and never left the Station he spent his entire life on this farm. He bought the gun with him, it will remain in my family............Barry

Not sure what I was expecting when I clicked on this video... but I think this pretty much fulfilled that expectation.

I did that once, hiccuped and swallowed a shell, talk about explosive diarrhea!

This guy would be a great voice actor

I enjoyed your video. Have a good time. Nice shotgun :-)

I've got one on 20 gauge,Bought It used over 30 years ago for my son.I used It to teach him to hunt.These are good solid Guns.

I remember being 16 squirrel hunting with a sigle shot . Those were great times . Thanks

When he put the the 3 in his mouth and then mentioned 4 5 and 6 I died 😂 Great video and useful tips tho

Can’t go wrong with a 12ga, you can hunt anything from bird to bear with it, most versatile gun in the world.

I could listen to you all day. Thank you for the demo!

One of the best videos I've watched in a long time. I am glad to know you are a fellow Patriot.

I see space on that stock for a shotgun shell holder

Never would have thought of this I think it's a pretty good technique

"....'bout one second before I hammer down." Love it! :)

I loved it. I've been trying to figure out how to fire faster with a single shot shotgun. By far the best method I've found.

Finally a real person cheers man for the vid your awesome.

i thought i was the only one that did this. 12 gauge single shot and a knife to make cut shells if needed. Nothing in North America you cant kill

Wonderful! Marshrat! Don't rust yer barrel with yer slobber........LOL! I was never a shotgun fan or a pistol fan either. This 'lil' old farm boy grew with a single shot .22 bolt action rifle. I quickly learned the shooting skills necessary to make that first shot count! Rifle was a Winchester. Paid $18 for it new in 1958. AMMO WAS CHEAP and jackrabbits plentiful! Had 2 buddies, I was 13, Freddy was 12 and used his dad's Remington clip loaded bolt action .22. 7 shots in clip. Bob was older, like 15, had his daddy's Remington automatic ,22 and blew off 3 shots every time he fired. Ya wanna guess who killed the most rabbits? Like you I learned to reload quickly, I held rounds in my left hand under the forearm and could reload quickly. BUT..........Rabbits disappear at the first shot into the sagebrush. All of us worked iron sights, shots up to 100 yds or more. That first shot better count! OK couple yrs later I'm a lifetime NRA member and shooting target matches with that same Winchester .22. 50, 100 and 200 yds. iron sights. I earned my "Marksman" and "Sharpshooter" badges with that rifle. I still own it. Can still group 5 within a 50 cent bullseye at 100 yds. I have also learned the advantage of multi magazine rifles. My first lever action rifle was a Savage Model 99 250-3000. Ya the old school full throw trapdoor lever action, could group 5 from the hip one handed at 50 yds with that cocking and firing on the recoil. Barely legal for deer in my state but NOT legal for Elk or Bear. So then next lever action rifle was "OLD" Borrowed it for a hunt in '71, got my buck, Next yr my buddies dad sez U gotta buy it to use it this yr. Told him I can't afford that "Antique" He sez "sure U can" my price, $75. That Winchester was a model '55 .32 cal Winchester Special. Worth over $600 then. Now I have inherited one Winchester repeating rifle from my family, It's a model 1906 pump action .22. My granny's sister bought it new in 1906. Yep her varmint gun on the homestead. Lord knows how many coyotes and wolves she shot with that thing, I'm guessing more than a few "Table meat" deer too. Now it's mine. Tube magazine holds 17 long rifle shells. Fires fast as U can work the pump. Ya it's barrel not as long as my old single shot but I don't want to be standing downrange of anybody shooting it. I find it accurate to about 150 yds. ALL my shooting skills came from single shot rifle experience. Make the first shot count!

that has got to be one of the funniest things I've seen on the internet so far in years

Just dont forget to tie your shoes, I know its unlikley but i wouldnt wanna meet the hard surface of a driveway or rock with a mouthfull of 12 gauges, Primer down.

You're alright brother, I'm never in that kinda hurry but, I sure do like'at shotgun, and you're correct, a single 12 is all ya really need but, now that I'm much older my old H&R single 20 suits me more. God Speed

just found your channel friend. good job. my friend said he used to put the extra rounds between the fingers of his forehand. I like that method myself shooting my daughters h&r 410 single shot. GOD bless us all.

Thanks for the chuckle. I needed it tonight.

One thing I did was I took a brass clip and formed it to the rim of a shotgun rim. Looks like a stripper clip and you put a moveable tab on the bottom so the rounds don’t fall out. It’s fun to make em except making them

"It wasn't very informative....but, anyhow, it's mid to high 60's here in Ohio, and I had to do something....." I thoroughly enjoyed the video, sir. I also use one single shot or another dang near exclusively.

Hello from TN! Awesome and fun video! You seem like a good hearted and fun person to learn from!

Can't say I'd be keen on having a mouthful of shotgun shells in a CQB situation but love the low tech solution regardless. Great vid!

Thank you sir im 13 and just me a single shot gun at a local gun store for 79$ and am very happy to run cross this video hopeing to bust some rabbits after deer season thank you sir

I shove 410 shells up my nose bc they fit and it makes a good speed loader

Hey, great video!

I've seen people wedge rounds between their fingers.

Almost as fast as a pump. Thanks for sharing that tip.

Good sense humor mate, subscribed.

...that's a good lookin' old single shot...

I am from Pulaski County (Somerset), next door to you. Thanks for your response. I am 68 and like to camp on the North Fork of the Cumberland a few miles above Cumberland Falls.

Thats how we do it in Belize since we use only single action shotguns. Extractors help so much. We are faster than that due to nessecity and alot of practice. Hunting with dogs and using single action is interesting haha

tactical mouth

Thanks for your video, and Hello from TEXAS! :-)

Hi marsh rat Margaret from Canada I enjoyed your single shot speed loader video my husband uses a cil 12 ga. Single around the yard for whatever needs taken care of and he basically does the same thing you do God Bless America!

Now work on spitting them directly into the gun.

Arizona says, "Aim high and dry!"

Good one one my friend!! Nothing better than an old break barrel shot gun! Take care.....Darryl, AML.

Thanks for the lesson. I got the 16 gauge one I use for house security. I keep mine by my bed with 3 shells on the dresser for the ready, LOL.

I will never forget when my friend kicked a brush pile and out came a rabbit. He brought up his Model 94 20 ga. and fired. A split second later a smoking empty came over his right shoulder and a second later he fired again. (Missed both times) 😉. Those old single shots were all full choked which is way too tight for close range bunny shooting.

Got a single shot 20 gauge my father gave me when I was say 12. Love that gun. Compact and super simple! Truly a trouble free firearm; can’t hardly break them they’re so stupid simple!! Also love how easy break action shotguns break down. Great firearms from most any manufacturer, hard design to screw up.

Thanks for the entertainment...I did have a good laugh, although it was also informative and effective!

You made me laugh...Born in Morehead KY raised in Mansfield OH...Love them both.

Well you did make me laugh out loud !!!! But you method is effective ..... and smart !!! Be safe brother

Greetings from Kentucky, neighbor! First time I saw a video of yours and I subscribed immediately. Keep up the good work and God Bless.

I enjoyed that. Many thanks and greetings from the Uk.

Loved the video so much that I've gone back and watched it a few times. I just picked up my first single shot last week. Can't wait to go try it out, now that I've seen your video. Have a great day!

Why is everybody hating on this good ol boy? this guy rocks. hey marsh rat, can you teach me some campin shit?

You just made this a high capacity assault shotgun! :P

Marsh Rat, I love your channel. You are good people. Keep these great videos coming!

Love it man, great video.

Buy a $2 Walmart glove. Let your domestic sewing machine operator sow on a 1 inch elastic band on the backhand of the trigger hand holding 3 to 4 rounds and you are sorted for $3.

greeting from southeasat missouri. love this video.

I expected something totally different..You are a cool Old Timer...Thanks Marsh Rat..

I Got a good laugh .. he seems to be a good man and has a really funny sence of humor good day folks

Great video, always did the same with my little single shot 20ga!

I DO like your way of getting extra shells; BUT! I just put two shells between my left hand; fingers while carrying my shotgun; I get two good follow up shots; ususally I wont miss; there are those times that I need another!

Thank you very informative. Of all the how to video’ s I really like your approach. Really made me think !! What’s Next!!

'Ya crimp 'em too !! lol Old Cuban grampa trick, from the farm. Well done .
