@Mr400Babies Not long ago a young woman (I think she was 19) who was mourning the death of her husband had 2 intruders break in to her house from both entrances. She was alone aside from her infant. She called 911 and hid in the bedroom with a shotgun and pistol. She did NOT use lethal force until she had no other choice. One dead, the other escaped. In an interveiw she said she was going to do what was nessecary to protect her baby. Maybe she should have let the intruders have their way?
Do firearm manufactuers (in your case Colt) have anything to say for or against the use of this kind of product in a pistol? By the way Ive been living in TN for a year now, if you bag one of thoes mean Square Foam Snakes, they make for great insulation around your window mounted air conditioning.
How likely are you to be in a situation where you need to blow a hole through a person to defend yourself? Does that question occur to any american? If someone attacked you or broke into your house and you hit them with a few shotshells I think they would probably leave you alone if they survived. Then at least you wouldn't have a load of innards and brain matter to clean up or a body to dispose of. Why are you guys so fixated on the use of deadly force?
@Mr400babies To be fair - I and most others I know who are willing to use a gun in self defense would not shoot unless imminently threatened - therefore, if they were to use it, it would be literally life or death for them. If it was my life or the assailant in front of me, I'm going to make sure it's him. Prompt incapacitation is the goal (I did not say kill - deadly force is used to stop quickly, not rack up a body count). Hope that helps you make sense of it, no offense meant.
@Mr400babies Also, I don't consider myself likely to ever be in such a situation. But I would rather be prepared and have an extra option available (which I hope to NEVER use) than be out of options with my life on the line. I understand your point, and "lethality and effect on target" is a gray area that is difficult for many to understand. Sometimes 1 round that does enough damage to stop them quickly gives a better chance of survival than many separate wounds that kill later.
@ToreDL87 count me in on that as well. Though if I do find a need for pistol shot-shell, 45ACP in the 1911 is a winner. tn9 has more videos in glocks if anyone hasn't seen them and they seem to have more issues.
would this work in a pcc , . like a .45 carbine with a longer barrel or would the shot damage the rifleing ? i just wonna kno cuz these seem like amazing verination round
TN, Nice to hear, or Not Hear that the Cicadas have calmed down. Seems like Shotshells might be the cause of the old shotgun Myth. The one where if sumone breaks into your home you just shoot in their general direction & you'll hit them!!!
Great videos.... I always check your channel for a review before I buy ammo.... You are the reason I use winchester ranger loads in my ccw 9mm..... Thanks for all the great info !!!
Wow, never thought that any shot shell would cycle the slide on a 1911. Guess now I've got myself a better snake gun than the little H&R 622 revolver I've been using all this time ... and another excuse to open carry my 1911 in the desert. :-)
@tnoutdoors9 Dang, I just ran a google search, and it seems like skittles got a very bad ballistic record. Do a google search for "supersonic skittles" if you wanna see the test.
4:18 ..........point well made lmfao, of course most people SHOULD know that a self defense cartridge needs around 12 inches of penetration in test media AFTER clothing barriers.
Yes it was metal and no it wasn't a risk due to the low power nature of this cartridge and the projectile, shot pattern, etc.. I would not have done this at 5 feet. There is a safe distance threshold using my targets that varies from caliber/load to another. I have shot enough to determine what that is for each.
@tnoutdoors9 i guess that would also make sense, i was thinking about that after i posted the comment, and then i realized that it might have been low power.. what is the Approx. grain amount for one of those shot shells? because i have a few for my Sig in a .22, as well as my Ruger Bearcat 50th Anniversary, and from my experience, they seemed to be low power. but then again, they took off a Western Diamondback's head..
Thanks for doing these shot sell videos I fear that there are way to many people that see "shot shells" and think they are shot gun shells for handguns and will work for self defense. I like the range tests I find it helpful I have moles in the yard and often carry a gun with bird shot (what we call it) and it helps to see the spread pattern at different ranges.
Now that was a very good vid on the .45 shoot shell. So, how many ants did you get? It seem that would be very effective on small rodents. Great job on showing the spread pattern.
Not bad. Considerably better results compared the the .22lr version. I would say if you want to kill snakes with your .45 but want some meat left, these would not be a bad option. I would not want to be shot by them, but yes, lack of penetration make them a poor self defence round. They seem to work well for the purpose they were designed for though; close range small game and pest elimination.
If I was going to be nice, and NOT try to kill some one for breaking into my home, or assaulting me, then sure, I'd use this load, but me being nice about such a thing just isn't likely.
I have shot these through an S&W 9mm and Ruger 10/22 and both failed to cycle. These rounds are worthless. Pest control = my boot on it's head and these rounds in the trash can.
Have shot several rounds through a Glock 21 sf with no hang ups or glitches. Being lead shot there was no wear or pitting at all on the rifling in the barrel. Great for Texas Cotten Mouths.
@tnoutdoors9 you know.. ive gotta thank you for making some of the best gun vids on youtube :D ive been subbed for a while and love to check in for the new vids all the time. so thank you sir :D
I would love to use these, make it more effective than my crap China made Ruger Airhawk pellet rifle. And you get 150 shots instead of 1 shot every 20 seconds! Too bad I'm in a residential area and couldn't fire a gun...
Sadly I cant find any in .357sig. I don't mind taking my Glock with me when I'm fishing (hence the need for snake control and carrying a .357) but I am much more reluctant to bring my 1911 around water (whether I plan on getting it wet or not.)
doesnt seem like a good idea for use in a glock, any pistol shot shell, due to polygonal rifling in glocks. U ever find anything about this mixture tnoutdoor? Just seems when u think about it, might dent up the rifling.
MAN, You do a really good job with these Vids. You are getting even better! This is good enough for TV! I wish you would let me send some Devestators in 38sp or 9mm though,,,
I really like these vids I hope u never run out of ideas...Maybe you could freeze a few of the water jugs and shoot em up ..just something else to try ...
Lol, any questions? Got to love your style! Great demonstration and thanks for all the work. I EDC a Glock 30sf and have considered those for hiking/farm snake carry.
Okay, you stand 25 paces away from me, you take a center mass shot at me with a shot shell, and i'll take a center mass shot with a standard .45 load. I think I'd still be standing, not so sure about you.
Agreed, more than likely regarding gel. Given these velocities and size of the projectile, maybe an inch or so pentration. I could not justify adding more hours to the production process for the video when the outcome should be quite obvious.
Hey I don't see why it couldn't be used for self defense. It could cause some serious bruising or possibly even break the skin! It still looks like a viable option to me.
Very visual demonstration and very informative. I would never have thought about using a shot shell in a 1911. I think if I was that close to a snake, I would prefer a hoe and garden rake to keep it off me and exit stage left than trying to use hardball in a stress situation. Biggest snake danger is Ky is stepping over a log without seeing what is already there. Snakes strike defensively. Cottonmouth here are the most angry and charging type.
Agreed, but also expect to be sued for "wrongful death" in a civil suit if there is a fatality....even if the grand jury and DA determines your actions are justifiable. Somebody's family will make that effort to get a ride on the gravy train, even though their "little boy" was a menace to society. There will be enough sympathizers on a jury to possibly make it happen and turn your life into a living hell. This is the risk we accept as permit carriers.
Ask yourself.....will the bad guy be carrying these? Will the bad guy have the mindset of "less lethal'? The bad guy's advantage is choosing the time and place; element of surprise. I'm not interested in giving them any more advantages.
Doesn't the 45ACP head space on the case mouth? If so, that curve on the CCI where the case mouth/cannelure would otherwise be, gives me some pause on consistently getting the gun into battery.
I would assume that CCI considered that in the design process. That could be an issue for specific firearms, although I'm thinking the low power factor could be more of a contributor to cycling issues. Obviously, because this cycled in the Colt Govt does not insure that it would cycle in the Colt Commander, etc., and other .45's. As I mentioned in the video, it had cycled for me in the Glock 21 and 30.
I appreciate the offer, but I cannot manage the overwhelming donation requests. I'm doing good to post 3 or 4 tests per month. Since using SIM-TEST a few months ago, there have been over 100 offers. At that rate, it would take a few years to get through the matrix. EVERYONE would be waiting a long time to see the results from their investment.
I was holding my breath. However, after shooting the Glocks in .45 ACP, the Colt slide just seems to move better. The shotshells are considerably lower powered than even FMJ used for practice. The cartridge I broke open to show the pellets? When I fired it off-camera, it wasn't as loud as an air rifle.
seeing how these use could i use em on coyotes

I think if I was that close to a snake, I would prefer a hoe and garden rake to keep it off me and exit stage left than trying to use hardball in a stress situation. Biggest snake danger is Ky is stepping over a log without seeing what is already there. Snakes strike defensively. Cottonmouth here are the most angry and charging type.

I still think it may be practical in a sort of "less lethal" manner.

Agreed, but also expect to be sued for "wrongful death" in a civil suit if there is a fatality....even if the grand jury and DA determines your actions are justifiable. Somebody's family will make that effort to get a ride on the gravy train, even though their "little boy" was a menace to society. There will be enough sympathizers on a jury to possibly make it happen and turn your life into a living hell. This is the risk we accept as permit carriers.

Ask yourself.....will the bad guy be carrying these? Will the bad guy have the mindset of "less lethal'? The bad guy's advantage is choosing the time and place; element of surprise. I'm not interested in giving them any more advantages.

As usual ............. excellent review.

Doesn't the 45ACP head space on the case mouth? If so, that curve on the CCI where the case mouth/cannelure would otherwise be, gives me some pause on consistently getting the gun into battery.

@heyerstandards
I would assume that CCI considered that in the design process. That could be an issue for specific firearms, although I'm thinking the low power factor could be more of a contributor to cycling issues. Obviously, because this cycled in the Colt Govt does not insure that it would cycle in the Colt Commander, etc., and other .45's. As I mentioned in the video, it had cycled for me in the Glock 21 and 30.

I'm interested in sending ammo for you to test.. how do I go about doing it? Love the way you go about it, keep it up!

@Grandthumb
I appreciate the offer, but I cannot manage the overwhelming donation requests. I'm doing good to post 3 or 4 tests per month. Since using SIM-TEST a few months ago, there have been over 100 offers. At that rate, it would take a few years to get through the matrix. EVERYONE would be waiting a long time to see the results from their investment.

You should borrow hickok45's taurus judge and debunk all the people thinking .410 is a good self defense round.

@MrGreenJelly
Good point. Without even trying the .410, I would expect the results to be similar.

I am kinda surprised that it cycled. Next time I'm charged by a herd of snakes, I'll know that I can depend on my 1911 with CCI Shotshells.

@MrJoey450
I was holding my breath. However, after shooting the Glocks in .45 ACP, the Colt slide just seems to move better. The shotshells are considerably lower powered than even FMJ used for practice. The cartridge I broke open to show the pellets? When I fired it off-camera, it wasn't as loud as an air rifle.
