Glad to see you store your shotgun in the same manner I do. My wife is not as versed with firearms as I am, but prefers the shotgun over a pistol. Therefore The shotgun stays ready to pump with a loaded tube, safety on. Last thing I’d want is for her to panic and not remember the action release button.
This was really helpful. I bought one and installed it after watching. 870 tactical didn’t like the trigger guard configuration, though. Also appreciate the suggestion about Velcro for a side saddle - sling with shells hangs down out of the shotlock, but the side saddle is much closer to hand... Thanks!!
Hi I found how to order your safe and I just ordered on. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person and installing it. We have grand kids over from time to time and the boy is supper curious about fire arms. He is at the age that can be trained but won't have his mom's approval and to let her boyfriend teach him when they are ready for home to learn. This way it can be secure and he can not shoot it by accident. Thanks.😊
True, except for those rare earth magnets, but then it would be too hard to peel off the wall. I like your idea a lot. In fact it is going to save me around $300 because I have one of those wall safe things too and was really torn between using a shell holder or using the safe. The only solution I could figure out was to get a +3 magazine extension which would only give me one more round and then of course the magazine would stick out past the barrel on my 870 Tactical, which would mean I would just have to have a muzzle brake to match things back up. Plus, with your way can have extra strips of different shells types ready. Thank you.
Thanks for the tip on the side saddle. A few followup questions: 1. I keep my gun in cruiser ready mode like you. Can someone pump a shell in the chamber when it is in the lock? 2. I have a somewhat valuable short barrel on my 870. Can someone simply unscrew the end cap and remove the barrel when it is in the lock? 3. Have you had any issues with the over-ride key, just in case the lock breaks or you forget the code?
One of the mounting options is a plastic mounting block that sits in the ejection port blocking bolt travel plus I doubt there's enough clearance to bring the pump back far enough to release a shell from the magazine. It doesn't seem like it would do anything to retain the barrel.
This is a great idea I just got my home defense shotgun today, and I'm looking for something extremely similar to this. I don't know if it will work for Kel-Tec shotgun though? Since they do seem a little wider than your traditional shotgun.
I'd take a old fashion gun lock any day. You keep one key on your keys another spare hidden nearby under the carpet. You don't need to take off she'll holder. And you can just store it with a gun magnet
I've been curious because I added some upgrades to my shotgun. Will this work if you have the Magpul SGA receiver sling mount and an enhanced metal NDZ safety for a Mossberg 590?
I like the state of the gun you recommend, except with the ShotLock without using the action mount, anybody (like a curious child) can go into your closet and chamber a round via a back/forth pump while in the gun lock. Right? And MAYBE even fire a round if there’s enough play to get to the trigger, even with a tool. Any way to keep it locked in this lock, and still know with 100% certainty that the state of the gun is what you expect when you get it? I was thinking of keeping a round in the open action, locked with the action mount, then when you need it all you have to do is push the forend forward and you’re ready to go. Steps to get into that state: load 5 rounds, pump forend back, hang on action. Thoughts?
I don't like those side saddles for the fact that it covers your serial numbers. If you shoot someone in your house or if law enforcement gets a hold of your shotgun, it's going to be a hassle to take it off to check the serial number. I also hate how it makes a groove marks when you take it off. I'm going to go the velcro way on my 590a1.
Guerilla 6 thanks for watching and I hope you like it! You talking about picking the lock? As I mentioned in the video....the purpose of the shotlock is to keep it readily available to you and still keep it safe from kids and guest! I don't think you need to worry about lock picking kids lol Obviously it's not totally secure from theft.... For ultimate security put it in a large safe...but thats not what the shotlock is for
PilotPatriot that's the thing man. My 3 year old daughter opened it because she saw me do it and asked to try it. You don't need picks. You can open it with anything that will fit in the keyway like a bobby pin.
Lictor Figueroa It should still work with the rail on top, you'll just need to use the breech hanger instead of the trigger guard hangers, there should be enough adjustment to make it work, there will be more room that way, but your trigger would be exposed
Good video bro some good points too. I didn't know how you was going to pull off the side saddle but that was a great idea. Most wouldn't like it but, it's like carrying your pistol you wouldn't carry without a spare mag..... would you!?! 👍🇺🇸
I still love it, had no issues! Of course most of the time it just stays there and I really get that shotgun out. Just check on it every couple months and it has worked perfectly every time
I'm surprised, there's Barely enough room in there for the gun much less a gun turned sideways and the hanger....you may have it mounted wrong... the hanger comes with multiple layers to allow for different guns, are you using all of those?
Yes all pieces are used. Im in communication with shotlock now. Might have to add some metal washers to make ejection port hanger stick out more. Im thinking my gun is thinner than typical shotgun.
Pistol grip shotguns MAY be an issue. It definatly couldn't use the trigger guard blocks, but I would think you could make it work by hanging from the open receiver using the "breech block"
Do you think I could set it up so that the stock rests on the floor and the shot lock goes around the pump slide? I don't want to use the ejection port method for the exact reasons you stated. I figured if stock was on the floor a kid would be unable to get it out.
Tom Torvik I don't think that's gonna be a good idea. if your talking about just basically closing the Shotlock around the barell and having it positioned to where it couldn't be pulled out the top or bottom....First there is no way for the Shotlock to secure around the forearm. 2nd, that would leave the trigger, safety, ejection port and action release exposed, so that's not very safe unless you leave it completely unloaded. Not to mention it would have to be mounted pretty low on the wall so you'd have to bend down or get on your knees to operate the code and lock, and actually mounting it that low makes it easier for a kid to get to... The amount of time and safety you'd be sacrificing to do it that way......you should probly just use the ejection port hanger.
the adhesive on the Velcro I put on my shotlock doesn't hold. I find my velcroed sidesaddle on the floor. how did you get the adhesive to hold to the shotlock?
You can try using rubbing alcohol to thoroughly clean the surface before applying, but honestly this shouldn't be an issue with a high quality industrial strength Velcro, like the 3M mentioned, unless you Are storing it in an area that gets excessively hot (120+).
Well the ideal situation would be to have this mounted close by so you can get to it before the perp gets in lol and please tell me what a kid is gonna do with a shell and nothing to put it in??? It's not nitro glicerine...it's a shotgun shell.....if it bothers you don't put the extras on the outside and just hope the ones in the tube are enough!
Lonzo993 far from perfect, my buttons dont work anymore for whatever reason. Key access onlynow and past my warranty. Save your $ if quick access is what you want
Matthew Graves Because trying to grab it off the wall in the dark during a high stress situation is a good way to end up with a hole in the ceiling, and racking the action forward is easier to me than remembering to disengage the safety....mainly just personal preference. Whatever you are most comfortable with is what you should do!
@@PilotPatriot and i love even more the idea of quickly accessimg my firearms instead of getting shot trying to dig my shotgun out of your stupid device that cost me my life and over a hundred bucks. You dig?
@@jate2014 whatever you wanna do is fine, I'm glad that works for you! but alot of people like to secure their loaded guns a little better, especially if they have kids or careless house guests...this video is for them! If you don't like it....don't watch! Besides I always recommend wearing your carry gun in the house so if u don't have the extra 2 seconds to get the shotty...ur ready with a faster option!
No thanks! Flimsy 14 gauge sheet metal mounted to wood studs, can be ripped off effortlessly. Just grab the barrel and the stock and twist it off the wall. 2x4's break easy. Plus, all the holes for "easy mounting", weaken the already weak sheet metal. I'll stick with my American Security safe.
glidercoach There really is no perfect option for security and accessability , but it's a good in between compared to propping in a corner or locking in a large safe. whatever works for you is great! besides, like I said in the video, this isn't really for total security from burglars, it's mainly for keeping kids and guests from accessing it.
I guess, but I can open my 3 digit safe as fast as your 4 digit unit. When I'm home (in the US) my Glock is on my hip full time anyway. I simply don't have a need for your unit and I'm not willing to risk losing my shotgun to a weak product. Been there and done that.
I have the solution. I keep a handgun with me during the day and my shotgun is in a safe. At night the shotgun is next to my bed and night stand. I save a hundred and twenty bucks.
Another Useless gadget to fiddle with in the dark and heat of battle.Better to not have any kids then you can leave guns and ammo all over the house like I do. got shit in every room
@@PilotPatriot Exactly. So why add additional complexity and risk by adding more gadgets with potential mechanical failure... when the life of me and my loved ones is involved.
Not sure what you mean by lock guard....but ud want this so you could mount it to the wall and locked up safely and quickly accessable lol. If you mean just using a trigger lock....those are very slow to take off, and don't protect the gun from theft or from kids and other people just picking it up.

GREAT idea about the bump light in the closet close to the gun
Nicely done. I'm looking into how to set up a home defense shotgun and this will be very helpful. Thanks!
Great thinking with the light.
Top video. The tactical light on the end of the barrel is a real nice touch.
I love this guy and his channel. Very brief and simple for the dummies like me. Love your channel man! Thank you!
Thanks alot! Glad you enjoy our videos!!
This video was very helpful! Thank you for the accessories and tips.
This man was thinking. Great video, thank you.
This was a great video! Keep that thing cruiser ready
That’s the exact setup I’ve been wanting. Thanks for the video! Stay safe! BTW, nice Mossberg!👍

Ok thanks for the quick reply! You see any downsides to storing on the action hanger with a round ready to be chambered (half pumped)?
Is this company still in business? None of the gun shops in Orange County Ca. sell Shotlock. Their website is a mess and Amazon says out of stock

Nice review. How is it holding up? Can the shotgun be mounted muzzle down?
Thanks, it's holding up well!! yes it can be mounted upside down!
Sorry I have too many attachments for this lock. My saddles are screwed on so this is useless for me

goddammit, this is exactly what i need... but it's not available anymore. any other brand that makes sth similar?

Pistol grip shotguns MAY be an issue. It definatly couldn't use the trigger guard blocks, but I would think you could make it work by hanging from the open receiver using the "breech block"
Ok, thank you
Will Kel Tec KS7 fit?
I don't think they make these any more. I can't find one.
How about magnets. The 870 has a steel receiver.
Magnets would hold it to the wall but offer no security
What if I have a ghost ring sight on my shotgun? How does it fit?
Call Ghost Busters?
I screw magnetic gun holders on the ceiling of my bedroom closet
do you use protection? :D
What about a pistol grip?

Yep, why give up a valuable round?
