Thank you sir. I bought my first shotgun, and being Turkish made the instruction manual wasn't making any sense about loading/unloading. You explained it succinctly!
I've never owned a shot gun before and I just bought on with live ammunition. It remains unloaded upstairs until I can find some dummy rounds to practice with. Thanks for this video..
Thanks for such video which help me a lot, I had many difficulties in this crucital movement most often the cartridges got stuck while doing a load or unload
This makes me want to get a shotgun, real or not. I love everything about them, the point blank damage, the spread, the reload, everything is just perfect with it and puts the pistol to shane.
Super helpful. Definitely learned a lot, and appreciate your knowledge on this important subject for me. I always learn something when I watch. Thank you for your expertise.
Pretty funny actually. I laughed a bit. Obligatory rebuttal though, notice our instructors aren't "kitted" out in tactical gear, nor does our range have a bunch of tactical posters and banners hanging in the background and it's a stock 870 with only a shell holder attached. Pretty tame in comparison. Lastly, "tactical" isn't anywhere in the video title or description. We pride ourselves on being a professional firearms training academy as opposed to a lot of these fly by night, here today, gone tomorrow schools. We've been around since 1992, long before tactical became tacticool.
Do all of the Remington shotguns have that red follower inside of the magazine? I don't remember ever seeing that. My Mossberg doesn't have a red one either.
It depends on the model, most of the 870s do have the orange follower. The police models use a metal follower. Replacing the follower is usually one of the first upgrades I do with my 870s but the one in this video is stock.
No, just to load the first shell into position. Pulling back on the action, or "racking" it will do the same thing. If there is a spent casing, it will eject it on the rearward pull of the action and on the forward pull it will elevate a new round into the chamber. Using the action release button/lever to load the first round into the chamber is just a more controlled method and what we teach since it also serves the dual purpose of familiarizing students with what that lever does and how the action on a shotgun works.
Thanks all. Real simple and thorough. Wonder why you've made so few videos. I'd like to see your take on safe weapon storage loaded or not and carrying with round in chamber or not.
Hey Digger, thanks for the comment. We were producing one a month and the views just weren't there to justify the cost we were spending on a production team. We'd like to get back to making more videos and just doing the filming and production ourselves. As far as CCW, I carry with one in the chamber. Just make sure you're using a secure holster (retention) and apply all the standard safe unloading procedures when back home. For home defense, I do not keep one in the chamber. The difference being the scenarios for each, one typically requiring immediate action and the other (a home invasion) usually involving movement to contact. There's also the chance that an intruder hearing a shotgun racked is enough to make them bug out. It's one of those universal sounds most everyone recognizes thanks to Hollywood.
Karl Dear never mentioned in the video if the safety switch is always ON BEFORE loading or unloading. I don't mean to ask a dumb question, but is the safety always ON BEFORE loading and unloading ANY shotgun? Thank you,
I second what aaron said anyone that makes you feel like an idiot for asking a question regarding safety for any firearm is a jackass not all guns are built the same or have the same safety features and the better you're familiar with handling the gun you're specifically holding/shooting the better for you and everyone arounds sake
If it's a new shotgun, it will get smoother as it's used. If it's not new, make sure it's clean and lubed. You can cycle the action a few hundred times on a newer shotgun to smooth things out. Make sure the shotgun isn't loaded and is on safe first.
2:40 my shotgun doesn't have that feature... I mean you can press that latch down but the shell doesn't come out all the way it just makes it poke out of the magazine tube a little bit... then you have to pull the forearm back to get it to come all the way out
I assume just pumping all the shells out like a mad lad in video games and movies is a complete insufficient and dangerous way to actually unload a shotgun. Through a little research I heard it can jam the gun or something like that!
Is there a video for the remington M887 nitromag just curious incase i have to protect my family so i can quickly load if necessary. Or is it very much the same for this shotgun?
I'm about to buy my first firearm.. I'm really considering a shotgun. Simple, easy to use and from what I've seen, great for home and personal defense ( the latter debatable of course) As I have had a few times of shooting guns, I know that I really don't know anything. What shotgun do I buy for nothing but home defense and what shells would be best?
Okay so I'm prior service military and feel really stupid for coming here because I've never handled a shotgun but am purchasing one for our house on Friday. Just getting it out there now. Also I want to hang it up high, loaded with the safety on to be readily accessible but my girlfriend is all worried about the gun going off if it falls is that a big deal?
Thank you for your service. When mounted; go with a full magazine tube but empty chamber with the action closed. Will give her peace of mind while keeping the shotgun in a reasonable state of readiness.
For some reason when I press the shell latch to release the shells, the shells don't come out, they get caught on the shell elevator... When the action pump is all the way back, the shell latch is fixed in place and there is no way to get the shells out... Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong?
So you're getting the shells to move back after pressing in on the shell latch, they are just getting stuck on the shell elevator? Is the shell elevator moving back into position by chance? You should be able to just press the elevator back down.
Yes they are moving back and getting stuck. I try to push the shell elevator up toward the top, away from the shells, but it won't move. I already put my gun away so I can't say for sure, but I was only able to unload my gun by repeatedly pumping the action and then flipping the gun over, the shells wouldn't come out on their own. I may have to talk to someone about this in person.
@@GoldenSealEnterprises Exactly i have meant the shell elevator. So when the shell elevator is up, you can load the magazine tube right? I am asking because i habe seen people pinching their fingers by the elevator while loading. It seems to be comfortable when the lifter keeps being out of the way when it is pushed up. Thanks for your quick reply :)
I love when instructors are organized, get right to the point and give all the needed information without a lot of jibber jabber!
Thank you for the compliment!
Wholeheartedly seconded.

You just totally taught me everything about my new and first gun. Thank you very much sir.
You're welcome. Let us know if you have any questions.

One of the best instructional videos I have ever seen. Thank you.
Thank you JR! We appreciate you stopping by.
that unload is what i needed to know. thank you for providing this video and service to new gun owners.
Me also. Was concerned about unloading it. Read the owners manual about five times but still this video was excellent
Thank you sir. I bought my first shotgun, and being Turkish made the instruction manual wasn't making any sense about loading/unloading. You explained it succinctly!
Six Seven you must have the same one I have. Dickinson's. Manual is garbage. This video helped tremendously!!!!
Mine is Turkish also; tri-star; I must read The owners manual 10 times still couldn’t get a clear picture of unloading!
I've never owned a shot gun before and I just bought on with live ammunition. It remains unloaded upstairs until I can find some dummy rounds to practice with. Thanks for this video..

Um if you need to practice loading your gun with dumby rounds before you’ll touch it you might wanna just give the burglars what they ask for bud.
or just dont touch the trigger or the safety when you practice loading/unloading
Buy some snap cap shot shells off Amazon.They are fun to work with.
If my high school math teacher was as clear as you, I would have graduated.
Best tutorial on loading and unloading I’ve seen
I took their firearms training years ago top notch instructors
Like I'm watching the cw
Very clear, excellent - they should ALL be like this (without unnecessary/annoying/loud/distracting so-called "music)!
Thanks for such video which help me a lot, I had many difficulties in this crucital movement most often the cartridges got stuck while doing a load or unload
this was the exact kind of tutorial I was looking for, thank you
Am from India. Excellent , brief , to the point drill explained. Thanks a ton
Thank you so much for this demonstration bought a Shot gun, you are straight and to the point I will watch all of your videos Thank you again….
We're glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for taking the time to comment!
Good instructor. Straight and to the point.
This makes me want to get a shotgun, real or not. I love everything about them, the point blank damage, the spread, the reload, everything is just perfect with it and puts the pistol to shane.
Pistol to shame? They all have their place.. try and carry a concealed shotgun.. smh
Super helpful. Definitely learned a lot, and appreciate your knowledge on this important subject for me. I always learn something when I watch. Thank you for your expertise.
this video came in handy for my first gun. Thank you.
is it me or is a shotgun really awesome
Damn, I forgot to watch this tactical video with my my tactical pepsi!

I have a tactical holder for my diet-tac pepsi !
Thank you for this helpful and informative video!
Glad it was helpful!
WOW!one if not the best instructional videos i have ever seen!!
Thank you!
Thank you for keeping this brief, educational and thorough. Many videos on youtube are full of egotistical jar heads. Thanks a ton.
We appreciate that. Let us know if there are any other related topics you'd be interested in seeing.
I love the sound of loading shells into a pump action
Yeah, it's because you know whats coming up next!
Good calm instructor 👏not in a hurry
Anyone else watch SPN and got excited when he said

Seems very simple and easy on the hands
Good vid. Straight and to the point.
Excellent instruction...clear and easy.
Professional and informative. Thank you!
nice! i am mostly knowledgeable in regards to firearms, but was unsure about how to unload a pump action safely. thank you!
A simply outstanding instructional video. Superbly done.

Do you have to push the action release trigger every time you want to shoot another shell?
No, just to load the first shell into position. Pulling back on the action, or "racking" it will do the same thing.

Robert, thanks for the comment. Karl does mention to make sure the weapon is on safe at 33 seconds. Let me know if you have any other questions.

There’s no dumb questions when it comes to firearms safety.
Great video thank you for keeping it simple.
Thank you! The unloading was a great help.

What the fuck when did I say this shit?😭
how do you make the pump action more smooth?

Was very informative ! Thank you sir
Hello how are you doing I'm Dwayne I'll like to know more about you
Nice. I live about an hour from there.
I’m having trouble loading the shells, I always get my thumb stuck or jammed in the flap
Amazing video. Will be purchasing this asap!
Thank you boss!
You bet!
With my Rem870 it works on the right side pinch... strange. Thanks anyway, great video.
I assume just pumping all the shells out like a mad lad in video games and movies is a complete insufficient and dangerous way to actually unload a shotgun. Through a little research I heard it can jam the gun or something like that!
Why when he loading a round and u look I'n the ejection port you can see the round then don't see it then see it?
That’s why you choose Mossberg
thanks for the instructional video you really helped me today keep making them
Already know how to do all these stuff but I still watch it.
Trying to familiarize myself with a shotgun ammo seems cheap and Range has area for shot gun and three gun matches. This is very helpful great Vid.👍
I couldnt find any video that could help me learn how to shoot finally I dont have to deal with it hahahaha
You should know mate, your country mate killing alot of Palestinians do they...??!!!!
I gotta find some quality dummy rounds. I wish they had some made of metal. The ones I always get are too light.
Solid instruction.
I am going to use this method!!!!! this is much more natural!!!! thank you
Excellent, all business demonstration. Thanks
Great video! Thoroughly explained👍🏽
great video very instructional

Perfect. Thanks.
Do these methods also work for loading and unloading a JC Higgins 12 Gauge shotgun?
Good Job
Very concise thank you
Very good video.
Respect ! Very clear instructions ...
i learned this from a salty sarge and command staff all while not putting a big hole through the pd's wall :)
But most ranges dont let u shoot a shotgun inside? Its not worth having a weapon u cant trane with. Unless u live in the country / stix
👍 📹 and 👍 information!!!

Why dont my shells stay in the tube? They slide back into the action.........
Thank you so much!
I think the gun cannot fired if the trigger catch is not released
Excellent training video...
Do you always have to press the tab at the trigger guard to slide the action, or is that for first round only?
First round
Sir this gun is which model......??
Sorry for the late reply. Remington 870.

When you pulled the bolt back and pushed the lifter up. Is it possible to load the mag-tube while the lifter is in the up-position?
Do you mean the shell elevator? Yes, if it's staying in the up-position it'll fall back into place once you slide the bolt forward.
