  • can anyone tell me if you are supposed to have any kind of choke in your shotgun while shooting slugs or does it natter? thanks

  • It's just not the same without John manning the camera heh

  • The mic on the camera really, really dislikes shotguns. lol

  • Interesting Remington over benelli

  • It's the shotgun from Doom 2!

  • That's my dream backyard. :)

  • in not him it is " FPSRussia "

  • Is there much advantage to using a rifled barrel with slug rounds? I know the opposite; shot in a rifled barrel is not avisable.

  • @Bluelunes yes very much espically when using rifled slugs

  • @paintch3ck interesting. However in the video he is using a non-rifled barrel and it seems pretty darn accurate at 80 yds. I know the basics of rifling; it just didn't seem to make much difference in this video.

  • @Bluelunes i guess it probably comes down to the shooter and how much experience theyve  had with their shotgun :-)

  • @Bluelunes thats it save yourself $200-300 on the rifled barrel and buy some ammo to practice....I laugh all the time at these guys buying "slug barrels". Watch hickok45 video with the Mossberg with only a front sight slam the gong......smooth bore. Not to mention 18 1/2" barrel length!

  • @Bluelunes The slugs themselves are rifled. If you are shooting a shotgun barrel you would use rifled slugs in it.  If you are shooting a rifled slug barrel, then you would use a sabot slug which is not rifled. Oddly the sabot slugs are usually a lot more expensive (to go with your expensive rifled barrel). The rifled barrel gives you an advantage at longer ranges, but here in Tennessee we rarely get a shot at a deer that is more than 100 yards so why bother with the rifled barrel?

  • @paintch3ck Rifled slugs are designed for smoothbore barrels, non-rifled sabot slugs are designed for rifled barrels.

  • @Nix6p your right, i knew, that i just read his comment wrong now that i look a it :-)

  • if you want a fast pump shotgun, get a winchester 1897, then you can slam fire.

  • How much can I pay you to train me and be your padawan?

  • nice intro haha it scared me seeing two big cold black eyes looking at me

  • Probably my favorite video of yours thus far, hard to say for sure, ill have to go watch them 10 more times each just to be safe =)

  • Hickok i always love your vids, keep doing what your doing man. 

  • Does anyone know if Hickok made a video of the benelli supernova?

  • guns don't kill people, but they do kill your wallet after awhile. but that's ok their worth it, great videos!

  • @fatguyonmoped12 no they dont cause guns are like having miney inthe bank ,,, well if u no what to look for u buy shit it will kill you u buy shit tht goes up its like having money in your pocket cause u always get what ui want out it

  • @TheAngeloakers you sir just blew...MY MIND >,< but it is true, id rather have guns then money...but i still would like a house...and centrel heating...and food. but you make a good enough point

  • @fatguyonmoped12 yep how long u been dealing with firearms im 16 and been shooting since i was about 4

  • @TheAngeloakers i started hunting when i was about 7 and i'm 19 now, that and guns are my passion so i love anything about guns. unless it's a super over dramatic action movie that involves inrealistic gun physics, then i don't like it

  • just curious.do you neighbors hate you?

  • @lookout11569 his neighbors live miles away, it's the country and he lives on a ranch :)

  • Hickok45, please do a video on slamfiring, using guns such as the Winchester 1897 trench shotgun, or the Ithaca Model 37. That would be excellent.

  • what kind of choke are you shooting open bore inproved cyl or mod the best for slugs

  • Don't point a gun at me you dick!

  • hey hickok45 do you like mossberg better or remington

  • @hickok45 - You can paint those targets with some radiant collors,like pink,yellow(you did sometimes),green....just for them to pop up from the surroundings. :)

  • isnt this man one of the worlds fastest shooters?

  • Any hope of seeing you do a review of the keltec KSG any time soon?

  • Is that your backyard Mr. hickok

  • can u shoot rifled slugs in a smooth bore shot gun??? i dont know alot about shot guns

  • @xmike8259x yes you can but use rifled slugs. its the opposite of a rifle. instead of the barrel having spiral grooves to spin the bullet as it leaves the barrel, (rifle). with a smoothbore shotgun you buy rifled slugs, (essentially rifled bullets) that spin when contacting the smooth barrel.

    dont forget to be aware of the type of choke you have, you can shoot slugs out of most of the more open chokes, and if your brave even a full choke (check with the guns manual before doing that!!!!!!

  • @MrCamerican Full choke (not a screw in) is usually fine when you're using "rifled" slugs. The slugs don't actually spin from contact with the barrel, but the voids caused by the "rifling" will allow the slug to squish down and slide through a choke.

  • Hands down my favorite shotgun video on youtube. Thanks again Hickok

  • I have a 590

  • i have the 870 express i love it!!!!

  • can you do a review on any single shot shot guns you have please

  • Is there anyway you could do a video over shooting slugs out of your smoothbore and borrow a shotgun with a rifled barrel and see which of the two is more accurate?

  • I've been looking for a double barrel hammer fire stagecoach shotgun similar to the one he was holding in the beginning of the video. Does anyone know where to get one or what they are more commonly known as?

  • love ur laugh!

  • in the beggining i thought it malfunction amd blow the camera to pieces

  • Do you really need the ghost ring sight?

  • i love the begging like if he is telling us to susribe or else he is gonna kill us hahahaha

  • say Hickok, don't know if you've been asked this, but have you ever fired the Winchester 1887 lever action shotgun?

  • hickok, i just turned 21 and im looking into a gun for home defense and im really struggling between the remington 870 and the mossberg 500 or 590 can you or anyone else reading this post help me out? i need opinions and reasons why i should choose one gun or the other! HELP!

  • 2:18 hes like stop showing off in that car before i come over there and shove this shotgun up your ass

  • If there any difference in most great shotguns compared to a wilson combat shotgun? where do you get your extenders for your stocks? also what is that shell loader on the back of your benelli 90? as usual thanks for your advice and help!

  • I like this guy :)

  • What is your monthly ammo budget?

  • Hi Hickcock,

    Love the shotgun vid! You questioned why anyone would put a rifled barrel on a shotgun. In Southern Ontario, if you want to hunt with firearms you're pretty much restricted to either muzzle loader or shotgun, and if you're after deer you have to use slugs, so you may as well have a dedicated slug gun with a rifled barrel. The reasoning was public safety; the powers that be figured shotguns are short range weapons. Of course; a rifled slug gun is good for 150+ yds. Sigh.:)

  • my favorite senior

  • Hi Hicock. im a big fan of you, a question: this is a public shooting range or it is yours?

    greetings from Uruguay

  • @aleramone23 its his own

  • I love me some SHOTGUN!!

  • do you own a 5mm magnum if you do you should do a video

  • Stupid Noobs complaining that shotguns in COD are not realistic and shotguns dont have range...heres the proof haha...anyways sweet vid

  • is their any gun you dont have.man i love this vids

  • Are the slugs rifled and if not do you think rifled slugs are worth bothering with?

  • how long are your arms!?!? you totally dwarf the 870 when you shoulder it!

  • If I could afford it, I'd pick up and move in next to hickok.

    Whether or not I'm mentioned in videos, I wouldn't care, just living within 50 miles of him, I'd say, is a privilege.

  • @ArmyGuy543

    Get a room

  • u like shotgun where u buy guns greg

  • 870 and Glock 29, the 2 guns I'd love to own, unfortunatly semi auto and full auto weapons are illegal in my country

  • I wonder who put thoose jugs in the way

  • can you get your hands on a barret 50cal

  • Perfect gun for your zombie invasion..I guess.

  • why are you loading the tube while the is a round in the chamber..

  • @DaveBro1996, It's called "Topping off." It's one of the advantages to this type of firearm. Great design. Some firearms are difficult to load more ammo into until the gun is empty, such as the GArand.

  • @hickok45 The GArand can be topped off. It may not be graceful but it can be done.

  • @hickok45 great video

  • @hickok45 hey, would that double bbl be what they used to call a Greener?

  • @hickok45 Is that an extended tube/ magazine?

  • @DaveBro1996 the elevator wont move up allowing you to load it until the gun is "cocked" and bolt forward. if the bolt is closed and you pull the trigger the elevator will still stay locked down. Even the manual recomends loading the barrel first and the mag tube second. Watch some 3 gun competition they always load on a full chamber. Running your gun dry is no bueno.

  • @DaveBro1996 so u can have a extra shell in the gun

  • I love you <3

  • i been around guns my whole life and i never knew you could shoot a slug out of a smoothbore. wow i feel stupid

  • Can you take me to your house and shoot guns all day? haha

  • I hope MW2 ,Black OPs and all them lot take notice of this dude and fricking change the range of the shot guns!!!

  • i have 4 870 shotguns.

  • u have a beautiful place to shoot

  • The 870, as illustrated in this video, is quite a reliable, venerable weapon indeed, and those 1 oz. slugs really smacked that gong hard! I also noticed the wads from the 7 1/2 field loads flying downrange. You simply can't go wrong with an 870. Nice shooting!

  • BANG!!! PING! "HE HE HE" BANG!!!! PING! "WOO!" YOU'RE A CHAMPION

  • Classic quality shooting considering the wind and weather conditions. I think shooting at distance with heavy shadows and wind is harder than people may give it credit. Ghost Ring sights are fast and good to focus the eye rapidly. Even a shotgun has to be aimed and have trigger control to shoot well so hitting the gong shows the training over the years kicking in for these conditions. The key to speed is range work with safety first which is why I like these videos so much.

  • I just use my rifled barrel for deer hunting, also, i picked up my mossberg 500a at a gun show and thats the barrel it had, if it didn't come with one i wouldn't have bought it either. Im from Ohio so we have to use a shotgun with slugs only to deer hunt. I think the rifled barrel just gives us a .73 caliber rifle haha. I use my 28in smooth barrel for turkey, upland game, and waterfoul hunting, clays, or whatever.

  • Also, on the point of pumps being capable of firing almost as fast as semi-auto's... ITS TRUE!! I use the much forgotten or looked over Winchester 1300 'Defender'(think they discontinued and now is being made again, but in Turkey under the FN/Winchester name, got mine when they still said "Made in New Haven, Connecticut', with 'Winchester PROOF steel'!!), with it's "Speedpump', is THE FASTEST PUMP IVE EVER SHOT!!! Any chance we could see you hammering one of those sweet puppies? I HOPE!!

  • If you like semi-auto, UBER RELIABLE(in MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE!) shotguns that will fire most anything from bird all the way to 3" slugs, you might look at the Mossberg 930 SPX. They had problems early on, but the one I got is a DREAM, might be worth a look. Especially with your longer LOP needs, it's pretty well set-up from factory, LPA ghost rings on a pic rail(removable rear). Its nice, if you come across one, you might like it? But vs. your M1 Super 90, MAN that would be a GREAT VID!

  • Model 1887 is cool shotgun

  • screw video games, shotguns should be able to shoot this far!

  • The hollow clicking noise spent shotgun shells make when they bounce off hard ground never gets old...

  • i dont use a gun thatsbarrel is under 28 inches, but that 870 is not for hunting

  • hickok, your just plain awesome. Not only are your videos fun to watch, they are informative. Keep up the good work!

  • this guy has to be the coolest grandpa ever!

  • Great videos as usual, 1st shotgun vid I've seen from u. I've got a Mossberg 590 and love shootin slugs w/it. I also have a Glock 23 & 45. I know u love ur Glocks.

  • Hickok45, Would you ever invest into a Lever Action Shotgun?

  • Hi Hickok, I got an old double barrel shotguns from the 1870s and its 132 caliber, do you know what gauge it is?

  • rifled shotguns are good for hunting in states that dont permit the use of rifles like in NJ, and recently they made 20 guage slugs that can go out to 200 yards and take a deer, so in NJ they are a great tool

  • when the video started playing i put my hands in the air lol!!!!

  • im just noticing it now but its like your playing billiards with a shot gun

  • I've noticed you sometimes don't lean into your shots, more so with 12g's and 'larger than 30' calibre rifles.

    Is leaning really needed for larger people or is it just a thing for smaller individuals

  • @EFG44 , If I'm really trying to shoot fast, I lean more. Generally, I weight enough to keep myself under control pretty well.

  • Sort of new to guns, especially shotguns. This vid's been especially educational, thank you!

  • I don't like looking down that barrel. lol

  • I'm looking at a semiauto shotgun to go with my 870, the Benelli M4 is pretty high up on my list, have you had any experience with that model?

    A plus it has is that the telescoping stock is standard here in europe and I don't want it at all, yet in america they seem to be gold, so I think I know how to recoup a big part of the guns price there ;)

  • DZSG?

  • Hickok should get a saiga from mother russia.

  • great again hickok

  • I had to come back and watch this again this was the first Hickok45 video I saw and I have been hooked ever since.

  • i didnt know you can shoot a shotgun with such speed and accuracy

  • @guykr10 my friend did it and broke every bone in his right hand. it was a 12 guage

  • I could never get my hands on a Double Barrel, but can you fire both rounds at the same time?

  • My favorite is the remington 1100

  • Have you got any ww greener shotguns? I got one from the 1870s and would love to someone shoot one.

  • @hickok45 what do you prefer the mossberg 590a1 or the remington 870 ? im stuck in between wich one to purchase right now ?

  • @1986montecarloss496 , I like them both and am even thinking of getting a Mossberg 590 A1

  • @hickok45 Waiting to see the 230 yard gong shot with a slug, would be sweet.

  • @1986montecarloss496

    benelli supernova(:

  • Good Shooting with the Shotgun. Good Video

  • this is a stupid question, so please dont hate on it, but why do shotguns have larger recoil than rifles?.......

  • @marner94 it has more gun powter so it kicks more

  • @bigguns644 ohhh, thank you :)

  • hey hickok could you do a video on shooting clay and the like? that would be great if you could go through proper technique and tips. thanks!

  • interesting you like the rear sight on a shotgun, ive tried them before and i cant say im a fan, the single bead on the front is the only way to go if you ask me, if you ever try skeet shooting with a ghost ring you'll see why haha

  • @deadtofall666, ghost ring is great for a defensive shotgun. I wouldn't use it for shooting clays. :-)

  • @hickok45 What kind of shells are on the butt stock of your shotgun?

  • @hickok45 What about the open sights on the benelli M1 of yours, how do they compare to a bead?

  • Hey hickok Im getting an 870 for christmas for hunting......would u say ghost ring sights r good for deer hunting?

  • Don't ever break into this man's house! ! ! 

  • Don't ever break into this man's house! ! !

  • Comment removed

  • Just a word on the rifled shotgun barrels; If you live in an area like mine and like to hunt, rifles cant be used in many hunting zones. Therefore they make rifled barrels for shotguns so you can get rifle-like accuracy with sabot slugs out of a shotgun and still comply with state regs

  • great video..love me some shotguns...oh by the way go Titans!!!

  • i like the ghost ring sights

  • hey i havnt been able to look through all of your videos but you wouldnt happen to have a Remington model 17, would ya? Back from the 1920-30s. Just curious to what you think about em if you got one.

  • I love the sound of the reload.

  • it would be cool if you could do some more weapon myths.:D

  • I LOVE 12 GAUGES!

  • how much shotguns do you have ???

  • You're awesome!

    I wanna be just like you lol

  • hickok45, You surely have convinced me to get the Glock 23 as my first handgun. I love that gun, Ive been having it since March of this year. I need your advice though on my 2nd weapon of choice. I'm debating between getting the Remington 870 or the Mossberg 590. What would be the best choice for home defense, or maybe just as a first shotgun? I'm most likely going to get it within the next couple of weeks.

  • @qporche Hey just a thought, Mossberg makes a gun Maverick 88. Great 1st shotgun, dependable and really cheap. also the stocks can be changed out to a grip for home defense.

  • I luv Remington shotguns my granpha buy one many years like 45 years ago and whit that shotgun we learn to use shotguns is awesome brand and in those years never never changue a piece just whit the maintence is awesome

  • i love the 870, got one with a blackhawk stock

  • You have an 870 thats all you need.

  • I've owned a modified 870 for 20 years, and it's been very reliable. I recently bought a Mossberg 590 A1, 6 shot, with the three dot rifle sights. I prefer the top tang safety over the cross bolt, and the sights are hard to beat. I also have a 930 Tactical that I bought on a whim. It'll throw lead in a big hurry, but the pump would still be my first choice in bear country.

  • from where do you get all weapons ???

  • so i reckin your from tennessee(the patron state of shootin stuff)

  • dont fuck with him....

  • i was watchin it pretty sweet

  • I'm Canadian, and our gun laws are kind of odd... is it legal to get the pistol grip military style on the super 90? or even the 870? in the states i mean

  • I'm Canadian, and our gun laws are kind of odd... is it legal to get the pistol grip military style on the super 90? or even the 870?

  • in the end when hes finished, people are going to mine that little hill for lead

  • Best shotgun video on youtube

  • ididnt hear in the opening, but are you using 2 3/4" or 3" shells? was noticing the recoil as you shot.

  • this is a very good video, totally made me fall back in love with the idea of a shotgun, instead of a revolver for my first buy.

  • Somebody was trying to pick the lock on my front door two days ago I went to the door and racked my 870 needless to say they took off like a bat out of hell. Nothing compares to the 870 when dealing with burglars I hear it does ok with zombies too.

  • sweet the titans!? im from nashville tennessee are by-haps from tennessee?

  • What is the first shotgun you show with the external hammers?

  • @kaioystein Rossi

  • Imagine driving up to this guys house to pick his daughter up for a date ! Racing stripes I'd put in his driveway would match the ones in my draws. ha ha ha ha....

  • Hey Hickok45 Ive have talked to you before here on youtube and I wonder if you got an mp40 ? :)

  • hehe the benelli super 90 made me giggle when he shot rapid fire do you have the benelli vinci?

  • saw off the barrel and stock 

  • That's the benelli m4 super 90 you forgot to mention the m4 because there are the m3 models etc.

  • how many yrs you been shooting guns? ur aim is on point! :D

  • Holy shit think how bad it would hurt to get shot by that. daaaaaaam
