I love this guy. Just the right combination of self deprecating humor, articulate, well polished, and above all, supremely knowledgable. I learn something every time I listen to you. Thank you for your effort. I was about to go and buy these, and now, armed with knowledge that is more than anecdotal, I will change the plan accordingly.
@Jon Smith Thanks for the heads up! Now, with the adapter, these would actually be fun. Like I had said in my OP, dad and I bought some to try, expecting them to be a fun novelty, but not much more. Like you stated, for a young shooter, they are tame and easy to handle, and my nephew did like them. He’s about 85 pounds, and didn’t care much for the 1 1/8 oz slugs we were shooting. All jokes aside, letting him shoot a gun that doesn’t fit him well and walks all over him is really doing him a disservice. Getting the correct length of pull, overall length, and teaching him to manage recoil by starting with lighter loads will develop and enforce good habits and safety, and provide him with a lifetime of firearms enjoyment.
@Jon Smith Thank you Sir. I'm gonna look into getting this definitely. I have never tried shorties cause I heard they don't cycle 🤔. So I will try now 👍
Good to point out the "Short" comings of that round. For the mossburg there is a small rubber adapter that fits in the bottom feed ramp area and makes them shot and feed flawlessly.
Mossberg recently introduced a line 590s that feed the mini shot shells and 2 3/4” and 3”. It will also feed if the magazine is loaded with any variety of the three.
Many were accidentally destroyed shooting rifle bullets. Too many forget the difference in height between the scope and the bore. Bang...new chrono.....
There is an adapter for the Mossburg that works "perfectly" Also I feel that this is a real upgrade for shotguns, like a large capacity magazine for a Glock, vrs a "security Six".
Excellent demo. I use these in my KSG with no complaints at all. I like the quantity of ammo and close quarter convenience or advantage. 00Buck and slug ammo give me plenty of power and 20 plus rounds to do what I need to do. I think close quarter combat is what my KSG and Agila shells are best suited for.
Third to that point Not a single FTF in ksg Never used the birdshot but the buck shot and slug are awesome and holding 20 shells is why i bought the ksg in California. I said they're gonna make this beast illegal soon 5yrs later not illegal and with A $200 romeo 5 it is a great variety piece to my newer m3000 stoeger capacity of 7 ghost loaded with 28 inch barrel It gets heavy when loaded even halfway which is how i keep it with 8 mini buck and 4 #4 buck Throws slugs like a rifle 100 yards
Same here. They work great in my KSG. The slug rounds are pretty fun to use at my indoor range and its nice to have so many in the magazine tubes that I don’t run out so quickly. Nothing poops the party more than getting on a roll with target practice only to hear a click because you’re out. Haha
@@TRENDewyZ same for me on ksg but I feel I would rather have fewer more powerful rounds.. I will admit , after seeing this demo, they do perform a little better than I thought they would. But I think the hole in the ribs from the 2-3/4 shells was much more obvious and I think that difference would be even greater compared to a 1500 speed 00 buck. He does a good job pointing out the number of shots fired in self defense. I just don't see the need for more than 14 ( or even 12 magnum rounds) and would prefer each round to be as powerful as possible. Now. if we are talking zombi apocalypse I'll take more ammo please. Zombi skulls are softer and there are just so many of the damn things.
@@nicholasbrosseau6035 lol okay, I know Paul has some serious firepower and people who send him all kinds of stuff, I didn't know if it was some new product someone sent him 😂
Hell, I'd like to be his neighbor for that very reason! It would also be awesome to have someone like him who you can talk guns over the fence with. :)
For me personally, the Aguila Minishells and the Federal Shorty Shells paired with my Mossberg Shockwaves equipped with Opsol’s, are the perfect balance of power and recoil. My Shockwaves are single purpose; anti-personnel. I keep one at the nightstand, and one in the truck. Thankfully I’ve never needed to use them, but glad to see how well they performed on the meat target. Thanks for the demonstration Paul 🐐
One other advantage comes to mind for those wanting to use a single-shot or double-barrel in an extended survival situation. Since they're smaller and lighter, more could be carried.
Michael W. Perry Quite true. The mini shells also come in 7/8 oz rifled slug. Federal also makes a “Shorty” 15 pellet, #4 Buck shell. The Federal stuff might be the way to go for home defense.
They also make adapters (rifles and smooth bore) for other ammo. For example, I've found adapters for a 12 gauge that will allow me to shoot black powder without a shell turning your gun into a muzzleloader, 45-70, 20 ga, .410 bore, 9mm, 45 ACP, 22LR and the list goes on
agreed when I first discovered this channel I couldn't stand that yellow shooting jacket, now the jacket is like a member of the family LOL I want to have my couch reupholstered with that fabric!
I installed the OPsol adapter on my 590A1, and it is 100% flawless feeding with the Aquila Mini shells. I can load 9 +1 in the 18.5 inch tube. The OPsol adapter fits the 500 series Mossbergs only, and can be installed or removed in about 5 seconds. As far as I know, there is no adapter for the Remington 870 yet. I'm pushing 70, so the reduced recoil of the Aguila Mini shells is much appreciated in a home defense weapon.
I have it on my 500 as well. Helps with my herniated cervical disc issues. At 51 and lots of back problems this allows me to continue to use my 12g as an hd weapon, which I prefer over my handgun.
Thanks for posting this. Besides my primary shotgun, an 870, I have a "door prize" Maverick I've been meaning to cut down and cobble up a longer magazine for it.
I know your post is Very old, but check out Defender Tactical, if you are still into the mini shells They have one that doesn't need to be removed. Run what u brung ! 😁 I haven't tried it, but that's why I'm Back at this video. 😅 Ordering one tomorrow for the versatility, low cost, + the positive reviews. BTW. I saw it's $25 right now for the adapter, and an aluminum follower. Have a good one.
I never even thought about the danger of double feeds with this ammo. Thank you for testing them out that’s really valuable information that never crossed my mind!
Mossberg just came out with the 590S. I picked one up the other day and, without modification, it cycles 1.75"-3" shells. Those minishells are a hoot to shoot.
Best Firearms Channel on UA-cam with apologies to Hickok45 and the rest. Straightforward No Nonsense very refreshing. There is one manufacturer making what appears to be something of a rubber plug that slips into the bottom of the feed ramp and make cycling those mini shells possible in a pump action shotgun.
Why apologize to Hickock? Guy is a talking piece for whatever gun he's shooting. He's never given any opinion of any worth or taken a stance on anything. Oh wait excuse me, he did make fun of hipoint once, hard hitting stuff Hickock. Weak
Another well organized, well presented, and very informative video from Comrade Harrellikovski ! Marvelous job, Professor. I never watch one of your vids without learning a LOT. I wish I could be your under-study for a few days. Please keep up the good work. ☺
I have to say for such a small cartridge, I'm actually surprised with their terminal performance! Excellent and thorough field test with realistic conditions. I'm very impressed and glad I subbed!
Paul: Your pervasive expertise and exceptional teaching skills - once again - shine. This isn’t flattery. For example: - The decision to move the chronograph to four yards (versus seven) demonstrates an unbelievably comprehensive and integrated knowledge of “all things firearms” that most of us, even with many decades of experience, wouldn’t have initially considered. - Similarly, your use of the .410 shotgun makes great sense - to illustrate some of the mini-shells’ limitations - but I certainly would never have thought about including one. So, all things considered, this is another very valuable video. THANK YOU! And I reiterate what a fine idea a “Harrell Firearms Academy” training course (or courses) might be (obviously, there are many major issues to be resolved, but you’re a terrific teacher/leader and I suspect your classes would be oversubscribed). Incidentally, the mini-shells seem more like a gimmick, than like a practical enhancement, to me. V/R.
Paul just watched this video which was my first one from you. You are very articulate and a clear communicator. I'm an adult educator and I can say I love what you are doing. I learned a lot from your video. GREAT JOB!
TheDrRJP Seriously? Just use the rest of the shells in the tube and you can top off if needed. That’s if the thugs decide to stay after getting shot at with a 12-gauge
@@TheDrRJPthen you would have more than enough for all 4 with a regular 2 3/4 slug loaded in most any shotgun Not to mention when that first high velocity slug goes off the thugs usually turn around and go the other way
Hi Paul and thanks for all the videos you do. Times have changes and so have some circumstances. My wife and i are near retirement and are planning on extended trips in a 23 foot Camper Trailer pulled by a SUV. The self defense systems that I have decided on are a 1911 sig sauer that I already own and the Mossberg 12 guage Shockwave outfitted with the Crimson Trace Green Laser side saddle, Opsol insert, grip tape on the stock and a sidesaddle to hold extra rounds. As you can probably guess I will be using the Mini Shells. I would load the tube with the buck and keep 4 slug and more 8 buck rounds on the saddle to top off (2 mini shell in each slot to hold 12 extra rounds). This set up appears to be counter your videos presented I have watched but when looking at my specific needs seems to fit the bill of: Short gun length for Truck and Camper use, reasonable optics for target, extra rounds for a shorter tube and lower recoil. If you could tell me how this sounds to you I would much appreciate the input.
As far as I can tell, these were invented specifically for the Mag-7 shotgun. The magazine goes through the grip like a handgun. The short shells fit that smaller space. The magazines also end up taking up less space since they are short front-to-back. Allowing twice the ammunition to be carried by the user. The Mag-7 appears to be a combat weapon system. Some other companies have expressed interest in using the Aguila shells but as far as I'm aware, nobody else has made a specifically designed gun around the Aguila short shells. Now, I don't plan to manufacture, but I plan to build a shotgun bullpup designed around the Aguila short shells as part of my gunsmithing training. But it's just a personal project. My gunsmithing mentor and I have talked about building a few guns around that cartridge. But we will see if they come to fruition.
I just bought a box of mini shells. Shot the whole box without any problems with jamming. I shot the mini shells in my Mossberg 500. I also bought an OPSol mini clip adapter for my Mossberg. The mini clip is an adapter for the 500 that will allow the 500 to cycle the mini shells in the 500 without jamming. The OPSol mini clip is very easy to install in the 500 and is low cost Around $15.00. No tools required to install.You can google it on line to purchase it . The mini shells are great to shoot, and great for recoil sensitive shooters. Paul thanks for the opportunity to comment on your video. I have watched a lot of your videos and think they are great.
minishells aren't perfected yet but I give Aguila props for going through the R&D required to manufacture them and create them. Even if the practical usage is tiny, they still forged ahead and did it. Note: there definitely are people who need a lower recoil as they get older and still want to be able to hit a target without breaking a shoulder but I digress. Point is I'm thankful you made the video and thankful companies like Aguila exist and are trying new things.
Hey Paul, great video. You are a natural teacher. Excellent manipulation of the Mossberg pump, virtually as smooth as a semi-auto. I thought about trying a box of the short shells in my Browning A-5. I think that you saved me the $20.
This is the first video I have seen made by you, and I was quite impressed. Straight to the point without bias. (hard to find on youtube) Using the chrono was really smart as well.
Round count does give peace of mind. That's an advantage when it comes to confidence in a situation where you need to defend your home. Thieves in my area tend to break in to homes in teams of 3 to 4 people. I might not use less than 5 shells but knowing that I have more would make me feel better. Last thing that I want to be doing is counting my shots to ensure that I don't run out.
The thing I love about your videos is that you’re the same everyday Joe just like the rest of us. Your content is honest and fun! Keep up the good work Paul!
Love your videos Paul. My grandpa used to load cut down 12 gauge shells for small game like rabit or squirrel. More or less what you determined 12 gauge with 410 power. Always worked well and saved meat.
Paul you have tons of real experience and make good videos. the mossberg 590s has an altered trigger group with a rubber bumper in the front that keeps the shell lined up with the elevator. the 20" 590s holds 13 shells the 18" 9 shells and the 16" 8 shells. I think they are excellent load for home defense and cheaper the 410 shells
Mr. Harrell. Thank you. Your videos and instruction are very informative. Also, for the record, I'd hate to get caught in your cross hairs. Thanks for your service to our country and families.
I second Cajun Swamp fox on the miniclip. I installed it on my Mossberg 500 chambers flawlessly every time with all 3 variants of mini shells birdshot, buckshot, and the slugs. Mini shells are a nearly ideal option for me because I have a pistol grip 12ga with no stock because a full sized shot gun will not maneuver in my narrow hallways easily, but full sized shells have a hefty recoil when all you have is a pistol grip. The lighter recoil, increased capacity, in a shorter shotgun is a pretty good compromise I think. I bought this shotgun before other options like the shockwave hit the market. Like you said in the video. I think buying a box of modified ammo is a better solution than buying a whole new shot gun. The recoil reduction is the real benefit to me, and even though they pack less punch a follow up shot can be made if necessary and that's where the increased capacity comes in. If there's flaws in my logic I am certainly open to recommendations.
God, such a clean presentation. No old boy crap, no hickock45 droning on, just clean info without filler. Subbed, and looking forward to browsing his other informative shows.
Love the video as always very informative! I originally loaded my magazine tube in my model 37 just with the mini shells but I changed that to 4 full length shells and there is just enough room to fit a 5th mini shell. So I now get one extra shot before having to reload.
I just found a cache I had of these, probably stored before this video was made. Now I don’t have to waste them to get an idea what they do. Thanks, Paul.
As always, very professional unbiased review. For what it’s worth, the short shells feed and function well in the KSG bullpump. Thanks for the review Paul!
Thank you. I’ve seen only one other video on the Aguila mini shells, and it didn’t mention any malfunctions, but I was primarily interested in the shotgun, so the inclusion of the Aguila mini’s were sort of a bonus. I found your video and perspective valuable. Thanks for sharing!
I just found that 12 gauge shorty ammo today and needed to know if I should try it. My initial thoughts were, of course, home defense. Your video wasn't listed first but I knew I could trust your opinion so I clicked on yours first. You once again provided me with valuable info and opinion. I recently bought a "budget" pump shotgun and I might buy a box to try. Won't hurt my budget. I can't find good home defense rounds locally, without paying out the nose, and I know from personal experience that cut shells don't cycle well either. Thanks for your efforts to provide good information.
how is it good data when he says"im not going to count this one because its a fluke" lol and hes completely unaware of the shot that went wide to the left at 3:45
Because "good" data samples will often represent a culling of outlying data points via application of standard deviation analysis. Admittedly, Paul did not define a specific standard deviation parameter, nor is it likely he performed a specific analysis, but his disregard of visually obvious outlying data points within the total set is reasonable for the common sense purposes of this video. More to the point, Mrgunsingear was most likely using the expression "good data" as a simplified metaphor for "good or useful information" and not as an objective quantification of data. Feel better now?
good data doesnt come from a biased source that determines something as a fluke when it indeed happened more the once in this video, his and your logic must go something like this; i got shot by the round i determined was a "fluke" so it doesnt count and i dont need medical attention... good job kid
From what I've learned, the 1.75 inch mini shells are made first by Aguila, designed specifically for the Winchester 1300 series (FN's TPS or Tactical Police Shotgun is a clone of the 1300 so should also be able to run these minis). Other pump guns that proved able to run these shells are Kel-Tec KSG, Benelli Nova, and SuperNava. Mossberg 500 series (including Maverick) needs the OPSol Mini-Clip 2.0 adapter for reliable cycling. For every other brand of pump, running the slide hard and fast may reduce the failure rate, but can't eliminate failures completely :)
LOVED the video ! Great info+ to the point, hitting all the points. I watched this trying to decide between mini vs 2-3/4, for a home defense Mossberg 590 18.5" 6+1. I was looking at an Opsol adapter, but just found Defender Tactical makes an adapter with a follower for a GREAT price. Both adapters should fix the operation issues, but whats cool about the Defender Tactical besides the price, is it seems more stable, it's a semi permanent mount, + doesn't need to be removed to run the larger shells. Just thought I'd throw that out to others who might head in that direction. This Video helped a lot, but,...I'm A Bit OCD,.....and I think I still have some more thinking in store for myself. Lol. Thanks for All the work that went into the video + comparison. It's appreciated. 👍
There's a company that makes an adapter for reliable feeding, I believe it's called OPsol, and iirc it's for all the mossburg stuff, maverick 88, 500, 590
josh benware, less recoil for kids or wife, , if you already have a 12.ga ... add in a working adapter & almost double the capacity. They did sell 'mini' slugs & 'mini' bird shot,a long time ago? I'd Like to see, mini slug test & then a mixed load of 12 minis with adapter... How long does it take to change adapter out? With alittle stress...
Thanks for this review Paul, I’ve been very interested in your meat target results with this particular shell. I have some of these rounds that I occasionally plink with in my Mossberg Shockwave with an OpSol adapter. Nine rounds in a shorty shotgun with low recoil is an interesting mix for a useful snake gun on hikes. For serious use however, I load it with Hornady buckshot 2 3/4 low recoil with 5 fitting in the tube.
I typed into the You Tube search engine "how powerful are Aguila mini shells?" Of all the YT videos about firearms it was this channel that I liked best. Paul, you are the best.
Mini shells cycle just fine with the opsol adapter in my very same mossberg. Without the adapter it's hard to say you're giving the minis a fair shake on cycle issues.
TRON The guy I shoot with, had that adapter put in his Mossberg and he runs the mini shells without any problem. I personally can’t see the point in emasculating a 12 gauge below 2 3/4 inch 00 buck. My Benelli M4 has such minimal recoil that if you have any training in recoil management, it’s not necessary to go to a weaker gun or ammunition.
This is a very legitimate argument. I just bought a Remington Tac 14 and they cycle these little dudes just fine. The Mossberg Shockwave, however does not and needs the adapter. Its the main reason I chose the tac 14 over the shockwave.
I have a KSG and these shells cycle reliably. The KSG will hold 22 mini shells and its shorter OAL than a traditional 12 ga makes it an ideal choice for maneuvering in tight quarters and rounding corners.
Using an adapter the mini shells work flawlessly in my Mossberg Shockwave. They also make slugs. The Shockwave can of course handle 2 3/4 shells also. Take into consideration that the Shockwave which has become very popular is mission specific. Tight quarters weapon system (yeah I just made that up) and the mini shells make it easier to shoot in tight quarters. In my home the longest shot possible is 27 feet that is 9 yards and most shots would occur in 10 - 12 foot distance or less. I have used both standard shells and mini shells in the Shockwave. I am confident it will serve me well with either, but I prefer to use the mini shells.
Well it's now 2 April 2019. And I have just re-watched this video because I was bored. I have to admit that overtime I did experience several problems with the Mini Shells in my Shockwave. Can't have a self defense platform that is not 100% reliable so I have gone back to using standard 2 3/4 inch 12 ga shells in the Shockwave.
Good review, and good data. I look forward to seeing using the proper adapter for 1 3/4 shells as it makes a huge difference. 2 3/4 is a standard for a reason, 1 3/4 are fun to shoot and practice with. Can they be used for self defense, yup, but so can a 410. It is what you choose to use. This data is useful in making decisions so you now the limitations of your choices. Thanks Paul!
Great video as always Paul. Im super glad you tried them in an auto, i didnt think they would cycle much like .22 CB and the powderless .22 round Aguilla also makes called colibre. Those powderless .22 are excellent in manual action .22's, they have enough snoot to get through a thick phone book, easily take out rabbits around the garden and when fired from a rifle length barrel, i think i can fart louder than the report.
OpSol mini shell adapter... Designed in Texas. Made in Texas. Made by Americans. Can't believe you left that out. B- today. Minishells work great with the adapter.
My wife loves her 590 Shockwave with the opsol adapter. Perfect for anyone with small frame. I also installed an SB Tactical arm brace and a vented barrel to tame recoil. Perfect for her and definitely fun to shoot now!! Love the video. You do an excellent job with your vids. Keep up the good work!
I have the regular KSG and I love it! I also have had both shoulders done and couldn't wait to finally find these shorty shells in stock. All they had was bird shot and that's what I wanted anyway because of how close my neighbors are! The recoil was awesome and they cycled 100% in my KSG. I like that my wife can shoot it too and no need for reloading because it's dedicated for midnight callers!

For me personally, the Aguila Minishells and the Federal Shorty Shells paired with my Mossberg Shockwaves equipped with Opsol’s, are the perfect balance of power and recoil. My Shockwaves are single purpose; anti-personnel. I keep one at the nightstand, and one in the truck. Thankfully I’ve never needed to use them, but glad to see how well they performed on the meat target. Thanks for the demonstration Paul 🐐
One other advantage comes to mind for those wanting to use a single-shot or double-barrel in an extended survival situation. Since they're smaller and lighter, more could be carried.
Michael W. Perry Quite true. The mini shells also come in 7/8 oz rifled slug. Federal also makes a “Shorty” 15 pellet, #4 Buck shell. The Federal stuff might be the way to go for home defense.
They also make adapters (rifles and smooth bore) for other ammo. For example, I've found adapters for a 12 gauge that will allow me to shoot black powder without a shell turning your gun into a muzzleloader, 45-70, 20 ga, .410 bore, 9mm, 45 ACP, 22LR and the list goes on
Yesssss!!! A Double Bonus Notification Paul Harrell Uploaded Another Video 😲😮😀😊😊 Best Firearms Channel On UA-cam 👍🏼
When paul uploads a new video I'm more happier then a fat kid in a cake factory on free cake day
Two in one day; we are not worthy!!
DarkVegetaman The gods Smile at us today
YES!
agreed when I first discovered this channel I couldn't stand that yellow shooting jacket, now the jacket is like a member of the family LOL I want to have my couch reupholstered with that fabric!
I installed the OPsol adapter on my 590A1, and it is 100% flawless feeding with the Aquila Mini shells. I can load 9 +1 in the 18.5 inch tube. The OPsol adapter fits the 500 series Mossbergs only, and can be installed or removed in about 5 seconds. As far as I know, there is no adapter for the Remington 870 yet. I'm pushing 70, so the reduced recoil of the Aguila Mini shells is much appreciated in a home defense weapon.
Fits the 590 series, too. Latest version, anyway. 8+1 in the shockwave.
You can also print them to the same effect. 3 cents of plastic and an hour and 40 minutes of print time.
I have it on my 500 as well. Helps with my herniated cervical disc issues. At 51 and lots of back problems this allows me to continue to use my 12g as an hd weapon, which I prefer over my handgun.
Thanks for posting this. Besides my primary shotgun, an 870, I have a "door prize" Maverick I've been meaning to cut down and cobble up a longer magazine for it.
I know your post is Very old, but check out Defender Tactical, if you are still into the mini shells They have one that doesn't need to be removed.
Run what u brung ! 😁
I haven't tried it, but that's why I'm Back at this video. 😅
Ordering one tomorrow for the versatility, low cost, + the positive reviews.
BTW. I saw it's $25 right now for the adapter, and an aluminum follower.
Have a good one.
Paul literally answered every question I had about the mini shells.
Going to miss this guy. Anyone else watching his back catalogue?
I never even thought about the danger of double feeds with this ammo. Thank you for testing them out that’s really valuable information that never crossed my mind!
I would love to see Paul revisit this test with the mossberg 590s. Thank you Paul have a great Independence day. 🇺🇲
Mossberg just came out with the 590S. I picked one up the other day and, without modification, it cycles 1.75"-3" shells. Those minishells are a hoot to shoot.
Just bought mine the other day.. can't wait to buy some mini shells to shoot
Thank you for doing such a great job of shooting, collecting data and thinking it through.
"Not more than five shots" was above and beyond.
Best Firearms Channel on UA-cam with apologies to Hickok45 and the rest. Straightforward No Nonsense very refreshing. There is one manufacturer making what appears to be something of a rubber plug that slips into the bottom of the feed ramp and make cycling those mini shells possible in a pump action shotgun.
Why apologize to Hickock? Guy is a talking piece for whatever gun he's shooting. He's never given any opinion of any worth or taken a stance on anything. Oh wait excuse me, he did make fun of hipoint once, hard hitting stuff Hickock. Weak
Hickok45 is a fudd
OPSol clip will help Mossberg 500s feed those minishells if anyone is interested.
Shawn Mitchell works great!
Exactly what I was going to post. I can't find it on Amazon but search this...
opsol texas
I just bought one from Amazon less than a month ago. Went to go find the link for this, and "SORRY we couldn't find that page."
Shawn Mitchell you are right. I'm using a Legal Mossberg 88 Maverick 14 inch barrel (shockwave clone) with the OPSol clip with no problem.
Im just hearing about these Opsol? They fit a mossberg 500? Where can i get them? Local firearm store or are they just a gunshow item? Anybody?
Another well organized, well presented, and very informative video from Comrade Harrellikovski ! Marvelous job, Professor. I never watch one of your vids without learning a LOT. I wish I could be your under-study for a few days. Please keep up the good work. ☺
I have to say for such a small cartridge, I'm actually surprised with their terminal performance! Excellent and thorough field test with realistic conditions. I'm very impressed and glad I subbed!
i like how you always bring up the financial aspect, few gun guys do that.
Paul: Your pervasive expertise and exceptional teaching skills - once again - shine. This isn’t flattery. For example:
- The decision to move the chronograph to four yards (versus seven) demonstrates an unbelievably comprehensive and integrated knowledge of “all things firearms” that most of us, even with many decades of experience, wouldn’t have initially considered.
- Similarly, your use of the .410 shotgun makes great sense - to illustrate some of the mini-shells’ limitations - but I certainly would never have thought about including one.
So, all things considered, this is another very valuable video. THANK YOU! And I reiterate what a fine idea a “Harrell Firearms Academy” training course (or courses) might be (obviously, there are many major issues to be resolved, but you’re a terrific teacher/leader and I suspect your classes would be oversubscribed).
Incidentally, the mini-shells seem more like a gimmick, than like a practical enhancement, to me.
V/R.
I really appreciate your scientific, no nonsense approach in this review. Easily my favorite review of any firearm/ammunition I’ve seen.
Paul just watched this video which was my first one from you. You are very articulate and a clear communicator. I'm an adult educator and I can say I love what you are doing. I learned a lot from your video. GREAT JOB!
I was waiting for him to say " And will leave the light on for ya! " this guy has got a voice perfect for voice over work.
1 full-size 12-gauge shell seems to work just fine.
Sure, for one thug. What if there are three more breaking into your home?
TheDrRJP Seriously? Just use the rest of the shells in the tube and you can top off if needed. That’s if the thugs decide to stay after getting shot at with a 12-gauge
@@TheDrRJPthen you would have more than enough for all 4 with a regular 2 3/4 slug loaded in most any shotgun
Not to mention when that first high velocity slug goes off the thugs usually turn around and go the other way
Shit if 6 shells of #4 buck aren't enough in a HD situation, I've got bigger problems to worry about.
Topic covered well. And the demonstrations showed the effects under discussion with little fuss. Thanks for the efforts.
Yours is my go to channel when I want information on gun and ammo issues. Thank you professor. 😃
Hi Paul and thanks for all the videos you do. Times have changes and so have some circumstances. My wife and i are near retirement and are planning on extended trips in a 23 foot Camper Trailer pulled by a SUV. The self defense systems that I have decided on are a 1911 sig sauer that I already own and the Mossberg 12 guage Shockwave outfitted with the Crimson Trace Green Laser side saddle, Opsol insert, grip tape on the stock and a sidesaddle to hold extra rounds. As you can probably guess I will be using the Mini Shells. I would load the tube with the buck and keep 4 slug and more 8 buck rounds on the saddle to top off (2 mini shell in each slot to hold 12 extra rounds). This set up appears to be counter your videos presented I have watched but when looking at my specific needs seems to fit the bill of: Short gun length for Truck and Camper use, reasonable optics for target, extra rounds for a shorter tube and lower recoil. If you could tell me how this sounds to you I would much appreciate the input.
I thought of another application: people who have sawn off 12 gauges with no stock that want to feel cool without breaking their wrist
Or their noses.
or the new shockwaves
i shot a straightpipe with 1 hand with a 2 3/4 inch shell. i'm fine, but also retarded
I'd say just get a 20 gauge for that
I like the way your videos are straight to the point and all the information I need. Very well done sir.
Thanks Paul! This video was very helpful. I had been wondering about the application of the minishell.& it’s potency.
"It's getting late and we're losing light" is a great catch phrase ending 👍
As far as I can tell, these were invented specifically for the Mag-7 shotgun. The magazine goes through the grip like a handgun. The short shells fit that smaller space. The magazines also end up taking up less space since they are short front-to-back. Allowing twice the ammunition to be carried by the user. The Mag-7 appears to be a combat weapon system. Some other companies have expressed interest in using the Aguila shells but as far as I'm aware, nobody else has made a specifically designed gun around the Aguila short shells. Now, I don't plan to manufacture, but I plan to build a shotgun bullpup designed around the Aguila short shells as part of my gunsmithing training. But it's just a personal project. My gunsmithing mentor and I have talked about building a few guns around that cartridge. But we will see if they come to fruition.
Very refreshing intellectual presentation. Thank you for being you!
I enjoyed your presentation. Very well thought out and put together.
I just bought a box of mini shells. Shot the whole box without any problems with jamming. I shot the mini shells in my Mossberg 500. I also bought an OPSol mini clip adapter for my Mossberg. The mini clip is an adapter for the 500 that will allow the 500 to cycle the mini shells in the 500 without jamming. The OPSol mini clip is very easy to install in the 500 and is low cost Around $15.00. No tools required to install.You can google it on line to purchase it . The mini shells are great to shoot, and great for recoil sensitive shooters. Paul thanks for the opportunity to comment on your video. I have watched a lot of your videos and think they are great.
minishells aren't perfected yet but I give Aguila props for going through the R&D required to manufacture them and create them.
Even if the practical usage is tiny, they still forged ahead and did it.
Note: there definitely are people who need a lower recoil as they get older and still want to be able to hit a target without breaking a shoulder but I digress.
Point is I'm thankful you made the video and thankful companies like Aguila exist and are trying new things.
Double barrel shotguns sold me on the mini shells. The opsol adapter made them a real contender.. especially the mini slugs.
Great channel.
Hey Paul, great video. You are a natural teacher. Excellent manipulation of the Mossberg pump, virtually as smooth as a semi-auto. I thought about trying a box of the short shells in my Browning A-5. I think that you saved me the $20.
This is the first video I have seen made by you, and I was quite impressed. Straight to the point without bias. (hard to find on youtube) Using the chrono was really smart as well.
Round count does give peace of mind. That's an advantage when it comes to confidence in a situation where you need to defend your home. Thieves in my area tend to break in to homes in teams of 3 to 4 people. I might not use less than 5 shells but knowing that I have more would make me feel better. Last thing that I want to be doing is counting my shots to ensure that I don't run out.
Very interesting. I'm glad you're there to test this stuff in a fair and accurate and entertaining way.
Outstanding reviews, this and your others; best, most useful demo video of any, on anything, that I've ever seen.
The thing I love about your videos is that you’re the same everyday Joe just like the rest of us. Your content is honest and fun! Keep up the good work Paul!
I don't know about everyday joe... he's probably a bob lee swagger just not a bragger
To stop the malfunctions with the minishells, Amazon sells the Opsol mini clip (adapter) for $15. Easy to insert and easy to remove.
Can I still load 2 3/4 shells with it in
Very nice report! I enjoyed your work and the informative presentation.
Love your videos Paul. My grandpa used to load cut down 12 gauge shells for small game like rabit or squirrel. More or less what you determined 12 gauge with 410 power. Always worked well and saved meat.
I love it when the meat target comes out.
Paul you have tons of real experience and make good videos. the mossberg 590s has an altered trigger group with a rubber bumper in the front that keeps the shell lined up with the elevator. the 20" 590s holds 13 shells the 18" 9 shells and the 16" 8 shells. I think they are excellent load for home defense and cheaper the 410 shells
Excellent all around analysis - almost bought the minis - thanks a mill! 🙏🖖
Mr. Harrell. Thank you. Your videos and instruction are very informative. Also, for the record, I'd hate to get caught in your cross hairs. Thanks for your service to our country and families.
I second Cajun Swamp fox on the miniclip. I installed it on my Mossberg 500 chambers flawlessly every time with all 3 variants of mini shells birdshot, buckshot, and the slugs. Mini shells are a nearly ideal option for me because I have a pistol grip 12ga with no stock because a full sized shot gun will not maneuver in my narrow hallways easily, but full sized shells have a hefty recoil when all you have is a pistol grip. The lighter recoil, increased capacity, in a shorter shotgun is a pretty good compromise I think. I bought this shotgun before other options like the shockwave hit the market. Like you said in the video. I think buying a box of modified ammo is a better solution than buying a whole new shot gun. The recoil reduction is the real benefit to me, and even though they pack less punch a follow up shot can be made if necessary and that's where the increased capacity comes in. If there's flaws in my logic I am certainly open to recommendations.
God, such a clean presentation. No old boy crap, no hickock45 droning on, just clean info without filler.
Subbed, and looking forward to browsing his other informative shows.
Love the video as always very informative! I originally loaded my magazine tube in my model 37 just with the mini shells but I changed that to 4 full length shells and there is just enough room to fit a 5th mini shell. So I now get one extra shot before having to reload.
I just found a cache I had of these, probably stored before this video was made. Now I don’t have to waste them to get an idea what they do. Thanks, Paul.
Love the "hightech fleece bulletstop" joke, gets me every time.
Try the Mossberg w/ th Op Sol adapter. I have one in my 590 Shockwave & it takes it from 5 to 8 rounds in the mag & has been reliable.
As always, very professional unbiased review. For what it’s worth, the short shells feed and function well in the KSG bullpump. Thanks for the review Paul!
Thank you. I’ve seen only one other video on the Aguila mini shells, and it didn’t mention any malfunctions, but I was primarily interested in the shotgun, so the inclusion of the Aguila mini’s were sort of a bonus. I found your video and perspective valuable. Thanks for sharing!
another vid, awesome. Thanks Paul
Great news! They make an adapter for the minis that works in conjunction with mossberg 500/590! I've tested it out myself and they work really well!
I just found that 12 gauge shorty ammo today and needed to know if I should try it. My initial thoughts were, of course, home defense. Your video wasn't listed first but I knew I could trust your opinion so I clicked on yours first. You once again provided me with valuable info and opinion. I recently bought a "budget" pump shotgun and I might buy a box to try. Won't hurt my budget. I can't find good home defense rounds locally, without paying out the nose, and I know from personal experience that cut shells don't cycle well either. Thanks for your efforts to provide good information.
Another superb vid, thanks a lot for sharing your experience and wisdom!!!
good data
how is it good data when he says"im not going to count this one because its a fluke" lol and hes completely unaware of the shot that went wide to the left at 3:45
Because "good" data samples will often represent a culling of outlying data points via application of standard deviation analysis. Admittedly, Paul did not define a specific standard deviation parameter, nor is it likely he performed a specific analysis, but his disregard of visually obvious outlying data points within the total set is reasonable for the common sense purposes of this video. More to the point, Mrgunsingear was most likely using the expression "good data" as a simplified metaphor for "good or useful information" and not as an objective quantification of data. Feel better now?
good data doesnt come from a biased source that determines something as a fluke when it indeed happened more the once in this video, his and your logic must go something like this; i got shot by the round i determined was a "fluke" so it doesnt count and i dont need medical attention... good job kid
@@astronautdolphindetective6908, that was the wad
@@horseman1956 Mr Gunsgear is just sub searchin, he does this across all the gun channels with some irrelevant comment
From what I've learned, the 1.75 inch mini shells are made first by Aguila, designed specifically for the Winchester 1300 series (FN's TPS or Tactical Police Shotgun is a clone of the 1300 so should also be able to run these minis). Other pump guns that proved able to run these shells are Kel-Tec KSG, Benelli Nova, and SuperNava. Mossberg 500 series (including Maverick) needs the OPSol Mini-Clip 2.0 adapter for reliable cycling. For every other brand of pump, running the slide hard and fast may reduce the failure rate, but can't eliminate failures completely :)
I am really enjoying your video here. You obviously put in a lot of work, and I appreciate it.
LOVED the video ! Great info+ to the point, hitting all the points. I watched this trying to decide between mini vs 2-3/4, for a home defense Mossberg 590 18.5" 6+1. I was looking at an Opsol adapter, but just found Defender Tactical makes an adapter with a follower for a GREAT price. Both adapters should fix the operation issues, but whats cool about the Defender Tactical besides the price, is it seems more stable, it's a semi permanent mount, + doesn't need to be removed to run the larger shells. Just thought I'd throw that out to others who might head in that direction.
This Video helped a lot, but,...I'm A Bit OCD,.....and I think I still have some more thinking in store for myself. Lol.
Thanks for All the work that went into the video + comparison.
It's appreciated. 👍
There's a company that makes an adapter for reliable feeding, I believe it's called OPsol, and iirc it's for all the mossburg stuff, maverick 88, 500, 590
Looks like everyone already said it while I was watching the video :)
Wouldn't be surprised to see that device featured in a follow-up video right soon.
Paul Williamson I doubt their will be a follow up video. These mini shells flopped.
josh benware, less recoil for kids or wife, , if you already have a 12.ga ... add in a working adapter & almost double the capacity.
They did sell 'mini' slugs & 'mini' bird shot,a long time ago?
I'd Like to see, mini slug test & then a mixed load of 12 minis with adapter...
How long does it take to change adapter out? With alittle stress...
Thanks for this review Paul, I’ve been very interested in your meat target results with this particular shell. I have some of these rounds that I occasionally plink with in my Mossberg Shockwave with an OpSol adapter. Nine rounds in a shorty shotgun with low recoil is an interesting mix for a useful snake gun on hikes. For serious use however, I load it with Hornady buckshot 2 3/4 low recoil with 5 fitting in the tube.
Awesome video chock full of information! Thank you Paul
I typed into the You Tube search engine "how powerful are Aguila mini shells?" Of all the YT videos about firearms it was this channel that I liked best. Paul, you are the best.
He's the Bob Ross of guns
I've always wondered about those Aguila mini shells and now I know.
Yea besides the fact there a 10 dollar adopter that makes them cycle perfectly. The shells are fine.
@@jeremymcneely1168 Pass.I think their garbage,the shots are very inconsistent from shot to shot.
I'll stick with the CCI stuff.
Mini shells cycle just fine with the opsol adapter in my very same mossberg. Without the adapter it's hard to say you're giving the minis a fair shake on cycle issues.
TRON The guy I shoot with, had that adapter put in his Mossberg and he runs the mini shells without any problem. I personally can’t see the point in emasculating a 12 gauge below 2 3/4 inch 00 buck. My Benelli M4 has such minimal recoil that if you have any training in recoil management, it’s not necessary to go to a weaker gun or ammunition.
This is a very legitimate argument. I just bought a Remington Tac 14 and they cycle these little dudes just fine. The Mossberg Shockwave, however does not and needs the adapter. Its the main reason I chose the tac 14 over the shockwave.
I have a KSG and these shells cycle reliably. The KSG will hold 22 mini shells and its shorter OAL than a traditional 12 ga makes it an ideal choice for maneuvering in tight quarters and rounding corners.
@@robertgoodrich8414 home defense?
cuntpuncher i would think so a maverick 88 is basically a mossberg 500
One of the most professional videos ever. Bravo to you good sir
Love your videos. I own a Keltec KSG, and have fired numerous Aguilas, buckshot and slug, thru my KSG and it so far has had no cycling issues at all.
How many can you fit? I have a KSG and thinking about getting these.
Using an adapter the mini shells work flawlessly in my Mossberg Shockwave. They also make slugs. The Shockwave can of course handle 2 3/4 shells also. Take into consideration that the Shockwave which has become very popular is mission specific. Tight quarters weapon system (yeah I just made that up) and the mini shells make it easier to shoot in tight quarters. In my home the longest shot possible is 27 feet that is 9 yards and most shots would occur in 10 - 12 foot distance or less. I have used both standard shells and mini shells in the Shockwave. I am confident it will serve me well with either, but I prefer to use the mini shells.
It may not be a critical factor, but I was also questioning the test distance of the 1st pattern test @ 15 yards.
Well it's now 2 April 2019. And I have just re-watched this video because I was bored. I have to admit that overtime I did experience several problems with the Mini Shells in my Shockwave. Can't have a self defense platform that is not 100% reliable so I have gone back to using standard 2 3/4 inch 12 ga shells in the Shockwave.
Looks like a solution running around looking for a problem to solve.
I agree.
@@PaulHarrell I also agree. Dumbest idea I've seen in a while.
Good review, and good data. I look forward to seeing using the proper adapter for 1 3/4 shells as it makes a huge difference. 2 3/4 is a standard for a reason, 1 3/4 are fun to shoot and practice with. Can they be used for self defense, yup, but so can a 410. It is what you choose to use. This data is useful in making decisions so you now the limitations of your choices. Thanks Paul!
Great video as always Paul. Im super glad you tried them in an auto, i didnt think they would cycle much like .22 CB and the powderless .22 round Aguilla also makes called colibre. Those powderless .22 are excellent in manual action .22's, they have enough snoot to get through a thick phone book, easily take out rabbits around the garden and when fired from a rifle length barrel, i think i can fart louder than the report.

Excellent presentation Paul!
First time I come across your channel. You’re awesome man
They work great keltec and my ksg25 will hold 20x20+1 and I had shoulder repair so their are recoil issues. Also 41 rounds means never a reload
Or as Eric on IV8888 says, it holds "a mess of 'em"
@@windwalker5765 You sir, are what we call "cultured."
Never had a single misfire with my 25, fulls or minis.
I have the regular KSG and I love it! I also have had both shoulders done and couldn't wait to finally find these shorty shells in stock. All they had was bird shot and that's what I wanted anyway because of how close my neighbors are!
The recoil was awesome and they cycled 100% in my KSG. I like that my wife can shoot it too and no need for reloading because it's dedicated for midnight callers!
That is hilarious and now I want a KSG.
