At a recent gun show, a guy came to my table and looked at my tactical load-out vest and Winchester 1300 Defender Pump Shotgun on display.
The large, burly man quipped, “So you like the shotgun, eh?”
I replied, “Yes sir, I do.”
He had a simultaneous look of pleasure and displeasure on his weathered face and tired eyes. I took an unnoticeable deep, slow breath and rolled my eyes under my eyelids so as to remain stealth to the fact that I was preparing for a lecture. He went on to impart his “wisdom” and stated, “Well the problem with shotguns is they have limited range and limited ammo capacity compared to my AR platform.” Yes, he was most certainly snide about it!
I decided to play along. I have a good sense of humor, and I am a friendly guy at heart. No need to challenge everyone, I say!
I responded, “You really think so?”
He popped out a “Yep” followed by a puff of his lips hidden behind a forest of a beard.
I started in with the usual question anyone knowledgeable in firearms would ask, and the usual person knowledgeable in firearms would know... Like, “how many and how fast can you fire projectiles down range with your AR?”
He got proud on this one... “I can fire all 30 rounds in a mag in about 3 seconds.”
Remaining respectful, yet a little smug myself and with a much larger grin than I had in the previous 5 minutes, I responded “I can shoot 72 rounds in about 3 seconds out of my pump shotgun.”
Astonished and a bit taken a back, the old guy said “What... how so?”
I explained to him that one can shoot 8 shot shells of 9-round buckshot out of a shottie. The rounds themselves are .33-caliber projectiles compared to .223.
Getting a little irritated and competitive the man jabbed back that he can reload with a new mag and still go to town!
More than happy to share with the old guy I explained that with a QuadraTactical Ammunition Carrier, I can slap on a card with another 56 projectiles of buckshot, or include in the line up slugs, and port load those babies into my shottie and keep the action going! I then demonstrated the QTAC technique!
He bought 6 QTAC Ammunition Cards right then and there—mouth still gaping! HA!
QuadraTactical is Quadra-RADICAL in bringing to light the shotgun’s capabilities and making believers! !

A thing that a lot of AR or AK users tend to forget is that a home defence situation is almost always a short range affair.

Fascinating story and amazing shooting speed. Still have the shotgun for sale? How many dollars does a gun like that go for?

The shotgun is not for sale, as I only sell accessories for the shotgun. But shotguns, like the one I have, are no longer made. Similar ones go for $300.00 to $500.00.

Assuming a smooth action means better accuracy. What model would you consider ?

I love my Winchester 1300 Defender for its fast and smooth pump action, but Winchester discontinued them in 2008.
The Winchester SXP series is said to carry on this legacy and is said to be an excellent choice for pump action shotguns.
