i like these because they are more of a challenge in the sense if you miss your quarry like a fast moving bird you are done shooting and the quarry gets away. i think it adds pressure because you cant just sling lead down range and it makes it more satisfying in my opinion. its also more fair to the quarry

@juicedlemons Very true.

I dont see single shot as a disadvantage and i thought long and hard about this and i cant remember shooting anything with a shotgun that i didnt hit with the first shot, ive never hit anything with my 2nd or 3rd shot with a shotgun, i have killed everything with the first shot.

[sackett68]

@ktktwix I agree, when it comes to most hunting I've done I've either killed what I was shooting at with the first shot or missed and a second shot probably wouldn't have been an option anyway. The only time I feel like i need a second shot is when I am bird hunting and the chance for a double comes up. Thanks for watching!

Hey I'm a 13 year old kid looking for a good shotgun with my dad. Would you recommend this or an over-under? We would probably only trap, target, and skeet shoot (usually skeet). I have shot a 20 gauge semi-automatic before. I love the look of a single shot, except shooting doubles would be impossible. Unless we got two shotguns :D

[sackett68]

@bigfoot519 In my opinion, the over and under would be a better choice for skeet and trap shooting. Just because you have the ability to make a quick second shot if needed, like in the case of shooting doubles. But for just about any other purpose the single shot does quite well. Thanks for watching! And have fun shooting with your dad!

I have seriously been considering an H&R single barrel 20 guage........... awesome vid...... thanx for the insights

Thanks man, great review

[magicdaveable]

Excellent video. They work fairly well as a home defense weapon too. With practice reloading is fairly quick both in the field and in a defensive situation.

These things make great sawed-offs, too.

They have 22 insert adapters at gunadapters[dot]com Not advertising, just showing the versatility that these single shots can have.

That single shot without the marking looks pretty identical to my Iver Johnson single shot. The way the stock is made and the overall flow of the gun is almost identical. Only difference is that mine has checkering on it.

Thanks again sackett68! didn't know this was still on here. Its a good video! I have one repeater, an thats an old one, the rest are single shots. These single shots are great guns!
