I don't know what you mean. Paul is the most professional TH-camr there is. ANY similarities in his mannerisms and some sort of obscene gesture would be strictly coincidental. Some people just have quite the imagination it seems. ;)
Paul doesn't mind if someone thinks he's wrong, as long as they have actual fact based reasons to do so and can present them in a concise and meaningful way.
This is a top 3 firearms channel period, and is the number 1 channel for technicality and real world applications. And Paul is the best personality on TH-cam. I greatly appreciated the sleight of hand toward the end. Thanks for everything you provide for the community Mr. Harrell.
Just practice. Muscle memory. If you run a pump shotty for a while and practice, like, a lot, you can do it. I got pretty good for a while but I haven't practiced.
Covefefe Winchester 1897s are full fire while you hold the trigger down and pump they fire when the breach locks. Used for rapid fire in WWI. Hence the term trench gun. MOST all others you pump while holding the trigger pulled, THEN reset for the next shot.. Get the next round ready to fire asap.
I don't know why people wait so long to "pump" the action after shooting. Its not hard to do quickly and with some practice, I've seen guys shoot a pump action faster than a semi auto...
James T. Kirk: A guess? You, Spock? That's extraordinary. Spock: [to McCoy] I don't think he understands. Leonard McCoy: No, Spock. He means that he feels safer about your guesses than most other people's facts. My Feelings when Paul offers up a Hypothesis
I had to go back and look when I noticed the “First,” I then picked up right away on the “Second” and “Third.” Paul Harrell is such an incredibly cool cat!
That's hilarious, and I missed it until seeing these comments. While Paul is just talking, I don't always watch; I listen while doing something else. Thanks for pointing this one out.
This guy is a pro with a shotgun, I wish I could shoot my 590A1 that good. With that being said, the conclusion that I came to in this video, to be better protected in a situation, practice takes priority over ammunition types.
I’m in the same boat. I have a 930, but I just don’t have enough practice with it to be able to get back on target fast as hell the way he does it. Time for a bulk order of practice slugs.
While I am primarily a target shooter, I really appreciate these presentations. Experimenting with different caliber/projectile configurations can be prohibitively expensive, and the availability of this information sans gimmicks has been tremendously helpful in my own personal protection ammo selections. Thank you.
My wife's new nickname is the meat target. I explained the 3 reasons why just like you did and now I'm nursing a black eye. Great video as always and thank you for your service ✊🔫🇺🇸
Paul Harrell is by far the most excellent source available. Very informative for all skill levels. Always get at least a laugh from each video with his humor. This guy is the REAL DEAL! Thank you Sir.
Paul, please reupload the thanksgiving video. Many of us had family obligations and were looking forward to watching it on the weekend. I live in Canada, so it wasn’t a holiday, but I worked a double shift and thus only got to see it in my inbox. Was really looking forward to it. Even if it were unlisted and simply linked in another video it would be greatly appreciated.
A few comments... First, I love that you went to a second box of the blue box to try to make sure it wasn't just a bad batch. That's exactly what I'd expect from you, Paul - thoroughness. Second, while I'm not having a conniption, I do find it unlikely a home defense scenario would involve ranges of 25 yards. Unless you have an impressively long hallway, I just can't picture where a 25 yard shot would a) happen and b) pass muster when the (as Ice-T might say) the 'M-F'ers in the blue uniforms' come by after all the sturm und drang is done. I might ha e liked to have seen performance at five or ten yards, just for a closer-to-expected-real-world view. Third, having said what I just said, I don't think 25 yards is inappropriate when you consider the folks that might take this info and extrapolate it into hunting. It isn't that I think 25 yards is a bad distance for this video, I just would have liked another set of data. Fourth, for the 4-shot low/reduced recoil, I wonder if you could lay hands on a "home defense" shotgun. You know one of the ones that don't have a stock, just a pistol grip. I've shot them with traditional shotgun shells, and remember thinking I'd almost rather be the victim of a home invasion than shoot that thing again. I wonder how the 4-shot reduced recoil would feel. Fifth, and finally, I had to rewind when you said "first" just to make sure I saw what I saw, and laughed louder than my neighbor would probably prefer when I confirmed my initial observation. Keep up the outstanding work, and if I'm ever in your neighborhood, first couple of rounds for you and the crew are on me.
Is it possible to be addicted to watching Paul? I feel like I’m getting a weekly fix every time I watch any one of his videos... You be the judge. Jokes aside, thanks for the info and keep up the good work!!! :D
Great presentation, well thought out and logically tested. Loved your three points at the end, lol. Especially how you counted them off. I never miss a video and always take away something. And I think you are hilarious 😂.
Paul Harrell showing a specialty ammo type to be worthwhile? It's almost like he's intellectually honest and not just a shill. I love Paul Harrell videos, I always feel like its worth the time. Also, side note but I've noticed that other gun channels with less moral compunctions than Paul, that have bordered on shilling previously have started attempting to be more fair-minded, and started instructing rather than preaching or browbeating. Probably just market forces at work but it's a nice thing to see the browbeating stupidity fall to the wayside a little bit.
@@vaclavjebavy5118 Well a good recent example was all the channels that reviewed the Beretta 81 a little bit ago because MidwayUSA sent out handpicked free samples to them. It was common for those types of channels to not say anything about how Midway had sent them for free, or how anyone else had been reporting that they had received much worse condition guns. They'd just review the near-perfect condition gun and only extol it's virtues. Now a lot of them are starting to point out the issues above. Several of the channels that shilled a lot are still channels I liked, but it's nice to see them be more honest. The browbeating "my way is the only way" guys on the other hand just seem to be losing subscribers and dying out that way.
@@Etherman7 I agree....I've noticed that as well. I unsubscribed to a few channels since it seemed like it was more of their ego or pocket book doing the teaching or preaching vs an actual review, sharing an experience, or showing a tip or method.
Thanks for this! My home defense is loaded with some low velocity buck, and while I’m comfortable with the spread, I did have effectiveness concerns. This video helped put those to rest.
This was great! As an older shooter, my home shotgun is not my first choice. Now perhaps there is hope. Looking forward to your next video on this. Thanks Paul, I really like your channel and learn from it.
Fantastic video - very educational. As a shotshell reloader this helps in planning reduced recoil defensive loads. Thank you and keep up the good work.
another awesome episode... lessons with paul, i understand that all of your findings are unique to your atmospheric conditions and your fire arms~ nevertheless watching your channel allows others ^me^ to have a wider perspective and understanding of what can or does go on, so again thank you!

Hello Mr. Harrell, I'm not sure how to comment on a video that has been removed, but here goes. I was thoroughly enjoy your videos, dry humor and superb content. I was in the midst of watching your Thanksgiving special. It was a long one and had to watch in time segments. I was about half way through and enjoying as always. However, now it has been removed! I sure hope it comes back! Love your stuff and eagerly await for more. Hope this email finds you and your family well this holiday season. Kind regards, M. Moreno gi
Long time subscriber here, I love your three reasons at the end, and I just want to say even though this is an old video, your information helps me even today, thanks for what you do!
I propose that from this day forward, the act of delivering a polite and reasoned explanation whilst delivering a near subliminal visual insult, be referred to as a "Harrellesq rebuttal".
Federal does better now with their flight control was. Federal flight control 00 is standard issue in my police dept. It does well out of an open choke but scatters everywhere with any tight choke. That old cheap blue box is for shooting indoors.
Paul, that new jacket is looking crisp! Assuming it is the same colour scheme as the latest jacket you retired it is incredible how faded the last one was! Great presentation as always. I am always pleased to see new content from you! Cheers from Canada.
@snoopy dubnation A tacticool youtuber that thinks ARs are the only option. I still haven't found the video Paul was referencing in his past video debating it.
@a c An AR or any autoloading rifle is better than shotguns in self defense but a shotgun will get the job done no doubt. But if the home invaders have rifles, I would much rather have a rifle with 31 to 41 rounds than a shotgun with 9 or 11 rounds.
@snoopy dubnation The "way they look in court" bullshit is a complete lie. A Shooting is Legal or A Shooting is Illegal no matter the firearm used. An H&K salesman used his very own AC-556 to defend himself from 3 attackers. He was justifed in the shooting, and he used an AC-556 to get the job done. Thats not your average 556 rifle that's a fucking Mini-14 Machinegun lol
Have you read many of the verdicts and decisions from juries and judges. Most people are morons, and unfortunately, juries and judges are people. Maybe the "the way it looks in court" will eventually not matter thanks to an appeal or two, but how much time and money will it potentially cost you to get there.
Great presentation. I found when using 2 3/4" shells of 00buck, Remington patterned the best out of my 870 with a 18" barrel with a full choke. When using 3" magnum shells, Federal patterns really well in both 00 and #4 buckshot. These were all done at 40 yards as I use these loads for deer. A lot of people say buckshot shouldn't be used past 50 yards or even less, but if you pattern your shot using different chokes to keep a tighter pattern, you'd be surprised how well a 3" mag with 15 pellets of 00 drops a full grown deer at 70 yards. I've done it quite a few times and not once have I ever had to track a deer, yet I've tracked deer with a double lung shot and a golf ball size hole out the shoulder from a 12 gauge slug shot at 20 yards. Using the right load for a shotgun and choke that patterns well or tightly at the expected ranges to shoot can yield results. I say do your own tests before reading some so called experts advice on a forum. As how Paul did the pattern tests here, it is the correct way to do it, compare the results! 👍
Well, it looks like your Thanksgiving video was taken down, and I wanted to say that it was really good, and I absolutely am going to use it as a tutorial.
12:34 reminded me of the movie Wargames, where general Beringer said "Mr. McKittrick, after very careful consideration, sir, I've come to the conclusion that your new defense system sucks." 😂
Another great video, including; wardrobe change, $10 words, sign language, and real world ballistics. Love the smell of gunpowder in the morning with my coffee. Never gets old. Thanks as always !!
Your one hell of a teacher Paul !!! You keep your subject matter interesante ( just like that XX commercial }. Just love the " Let's put it to the test" !!! Thanxx
Always glad to see a new post from my favorite "Gun Porn" site !! In regard to the 25 yd issue, 25 yds is kinda long for "in house" examples. However, if you're "defending" your back yard from a 4-legged invader, then 25 yd testing makes perfect sense.
Thanks Paul. Living in the suburbs, I need to balance self defense with over penetration and too wide of a pattern in which a pellet would miss. I find the reduced recoil coupled with a flight controlled wad to be the perfect balance. I have spend considerable time shooting my personal defense ammo of choice at various distance through a variety of my shotguns. It all works very well. On a different topic, I think meat behaves as a non Newtonian fluid and as such slightly lower velocities may behave better. I can't prove it. Would love to see you dig about in this.
That is why I have a 20 gauge pump in the bedroom (and the wife can shoot it flawlessly). I also have a single shot next to the front door (which my now 12 year old daughter can shoot very well). I am the one that will be using the 12 gauge 3" pump.
@@mattbrown5511 I am not trying to be a smartass here but since the frontdoor is the most common entrypoint in a breakin wouldnt a shootgun right at your front door be a pretty big liability?
Simon Eriksson I don’t pretend to know his situation or reasoning, but a lot of farmers keep a light, handy gun by the front door for use on predators or varmints that might be distressing the herd. My grandpa keeps a 10/22 Magnum there. The idea for him is foxes and coyotes as he keeps chickens.
I did not say it is easy to see the "house" gun. And yes, I live in a small rural community and often use to dispatch nocturnal critters that enjoy trying to get at my chickens.
Those sneaky middle fingers to the haters had me crying!
omnomshibob......only Paul,being what you call a professional, can pull this off.
@@natureboy2999 it's his first point

Paul Harrell is a super hero in a world where common sense and intelligence is a super power.
he's jacked like one too, when he takes his shirt off (which he did in one of his vids) he's a monster.
And a sense of dry humor to go with it!
Them: “Paul, I think you’re wrong....”
Paul: “noted, now here’s 3 reasons I don’t care”
Paul doesn't mind if someone thinks he's wrong, as long as they have actual fact based reasons to do so and can present them in a concise and meaningful way.
@Terry Bruce he did it on first and second as well. LOL
@Terry Bruce I saw the first one, thought my eyes were off, backed up a bit and laughed

Thanks for everything you provide for the community Mr. Harrell.
Paul cycles that action so smoothly, it almost appears to be an autoloader.
I thought the same. I obviously need much more practice.
I thought at first couple demos he WAS shooting an auto, then watched closer. Damn!
Seriously how does he run it like that? Almost like a slamfire but stops before the second round.
Just practice. Muscle memory. If you run a pump shotty for a while and practice, like, a lot, you can do it. I got pretty good for a while but I haven't practiced.

It took me months of watching EVERY video to find that one. Worth it.
He should have shot the guy who sold him that sportcoat.
USARAY1947 . Amen!
mustangkrillin no way I still never found it! Which one was it?
"There's a few things to be said about that. First,..."
Paul Harrell is one of the Greats.
All other youtube shooters - skip to the shooting part
Paul Harrell - skip to the talking part
I understand your meaning but even his shooting can be rather entertaining! His proficiency is definitely evident!
How Paul pulls the trigger and cycles the action at the same time is great skill.
Paul does it again- clear, concise and puts the record straight with his experience.
Yes, and combined with a practical demonstration. He doesn't just SAY what he thinks, he SHOWS why he thinks it. Good stuff.
He's a class act , to be sure !
16:53
"first .." lol, "secondly .." LOL, "thirdly .." F'ing LOL
and i love the explanation of the scientific process just to say Federal Blue Box sucks.
That is a "Cut to the Chase non PC Answer" I have come to expect from Paul.
Sell Federal , buy Remington , sandy hoax be damned
A good deal of money for poor performance, a good service to us by Paul.
A fourth reason and I might have fallen out of my chair.
Paul: “Federal Blue Box is crap.”
Federal: “Better increase that rebate!”
Can confirm. Fed blue box had a roughly 30% greater spread vs other loads (rem yellow and green, fed premium, win superx, win/olin military buck)
I like the new method of preemptively addressing menial complaints.
Love the three “F’ you”’s in the wrap up! I am a huge fan! Can’t wait for the #4 Buck comparo. Great video.

Practice makes perfect

caveymoley So bad he won’t let them be the judge.
Federal does better now with their flight control was. Federal flight control 00 is standard issue in my police dept. It does well out of an open choke but scatters everywhere with any tight choke. That old cheap blue box is for shooting indoors.
Great information, I remember when I went from shooting a pump shotgun to a semi auto on the dove field, it was a whole lot less recoil.
Clear, concise and SO accurate.... in the use of that middle finger🙂
Great episode and excellently done.
Paul, that new jacket is looking crisp! Assuming it is the same colour scheme as the latest jacket you retired it is incredible how faded the last one was! Great presentation as always. I am always pleased to see new content from you! Cheers from Canada.
I love the way you did the counting, "first" "secondly" "third" for the hate mail people.
So Paul, are you saying "Shotguns don't suck for home defense"? 😀
He said that a couple years ago. _If_ you would look through his videos to see for yourself. 😉👍
@snoopy dubnation A tacticool youtuber that thinks ARs are the only option. I still haven't found the video Paul was referencing in his past video debating it.
@a c An AR or any autoloading rifle is better than shotguns in self defense but a shotgun will get the job done no doubt. But if the home invaders have rifles, I would much rather have a rifle with 31 to 41 rounds than a shotgun with 9 or 11 rounds.
@snoopy dubnation The "way they look in court" bullshit is a complete lie. A Shooting is Legal or A Shooting is Illegal no matter the firearm used. An H&K salesman used his very own AC-556 to defend himself from 3 attackers. He was justifed in the shooting, and he used an AC-556 to get the job done. Thats not your average 556 rifle that's a fucking Mini-14 Machinegun lol
Have you read many of the verdicts and decisions from juries and judges. Most people are morons, and unfortunately, juries and judges are people. Maybe the "the way it looks in court" will eventually not matter thanks to an appeal or two, but how much time and money will it potentially cost you to get there.
I always come away with something useful from Mr. Harrell's videos and this was no exeption. Keep the quality videos coming!!!
best gun videos online PERIOD!!! thank you paul harrell!!!
All I want for Christmas is a Paul Harrell Christmas Special! Maybe something about firearms and extreme cold?
Great presentation. I found when using 2 3/4" shells of 00buck, Remington patterned the best out of my 870 with a 18" barrel with a full choke. When using 3" magnum shells, Federal patterns really well in both 00 and #4 buckshot. These were all done at 40 yards as I use these loads for deer. A lot of people say buckshot shouldn't be used past 50 yards or even less, but if you pattern your shot using different chokes to keep a tighter pattern, you'd be surprised how well a 3" mag with 15 pellets of 00 drops a full grown deer at 70 yards. I've done it quite a few times and not once have I ever had to track a deer, yet I've tracked deer with a double lung shot and a golf ball size hole out the shoulder from a 12 gauge slug shot at 20 yards. Using the right load for a shotgun and choke that patterns well or tightly at the expected ranges to shoot can yield results. I say do your own tests before reading some so called experts advice on a forum. As how Paul did the pattern tests here, it is the correct way to do it, compare the results! 👍
Thanks Todd , my curiosity was up after seeing this... an' old guy I know told me the same thing .👍
Great coverage today , straight to the point , looking forward to No. 4 Buckshot video down this road were on .
Great information, especially summation points 1, 2, & 3 !!!
Thanks for the demonstrations.
I look forward to the # 4 BUCKSHOT comparisons!!!!
Well, it looks like your Thanksgiving video was taken down, and I wanted to say that it was really good, and I absolutely am going to use it as a tutorial.
Is "crap" the scientific term? You be the judge.
Cut Rate Ammunition Preference?
dcbanacek2: Or maybe Cut Rate AWFUL Product??
Preach brother Paul!!!🙌🙌😂😂😂😂😂😂
Loved the middle finger flash ticking off the points! OUTSTANDING HARRELL!
Another very informative video from Mr. Harrell. Can't wait for the next one! LMAO, spilled my ☕ during the countdown, hilarious !
12:34 reminded me of the movie Wargames, where general Beringer said "Mr. McKittrick, after very careful consideration, sir, I've come to the conclusion that your new defense system sucks." 😂
I was just watching the Thanksgiving Special and suddenly the vid was GONE!
Another great video, including; wardrobe change, $10 words, sign language, and real world ballistics. Love the smell of gunpowder in the morning with my coffee. Never gets old. Thanks as always !!
Your one hell of a teacher Paul !!! You keep your subject matter interesante ( just like that XX commercial }. Just love the " Let's put it to the test" !!! Thanxx
Always glad to see a new post from my favorite "Gun Porn" site !! In regard to the 25 yd issue, 25 yds is kinda long for "in house" examples. However, if you're "defending" your back yard from a 4-legged invader, then 25 yd testing makes perfect sense.
Half a dozen in 2.4 seconds outta get the job done
You need to listen carefully next time. He explained it.
Thanks Paul.
Living in the suburbs, I need to balance self defense with over penetration and too wide of a pattern in which a pellet would miss. I find the reduced recoil coupled with a flight controlled wad to be the perfect balance. I have spend considerable time shooting my personal defense ammo of choice at various distance through a variety of my shotguns. It all works very well.
On a different topic, I think meat behaves as a non Newtonian fluid and as such slightly lower velocities may behave better. I can't prove it. Would love to see you dig about in this.
Get Well, Paul! Your videos are top-notch, going through your low-recoil videos again!
Excellent video Paul. Very concise and accurate testing.
For close range home defence, that lower velocity is "enough".
That is why I have a 20 gauge pump in the bedroom (and the wife can shoot it flawlessly). I also have a single shot next to the front door (which my now 12 year old daughter can shoot very well). I am the one that will be using the 12 gauge 3" pump.
@@mattbrown5511 I am not trying to be a smartass here but since the frontdoor is the most common entrypoint in a breakin wouldnt a shootgun right at your front door be a pretty big liability?
Simon Eriksson I don’t pretend to know his situation or reasoning, but a lot of farmers keep a light, handy gun by the front door for use on predators or varmints that might be distressing the herd. My grandpa keeps a 10/22 Magnum there. The idea for him is foxes and coyotes as he keeps chickens.
The doughboys of ww1 thought low recoil 00 buck was enough. The Germans would agree.
I did not say it is easy to see the "house" gun. And yes, I live in a small rural community and often use to dispatch nocturnal critters that enjoy trying to get at my chickens.
at 17:52 in the video, that move reminded me of the hustlers in downtown portland working the 3 card monty game.
At another video he pulls out three boxes from is jacket in a similar manner. For a moment I thought he could start with the cigar box juggling.
Eagerly awaiting your Pedersoli Howda Pistol shoot... Great stuff as always Paul!
