Just figured I’d share. James is a polarizing guy but I think his blunt attitude, sound advice, and fierce defense of the 2nd Amendment make him a cool dude. I like him.
I’ve been watching some James Yeager videos on fighting shotguns and in one he speaks about accesories:
I really think that’s a useful setup. James focuses on simplicity and practicality when it come to shotguns. I tend to agree, and think too many people try and make them into a clumsy rifle. He recommends a single point sling as during his classes he has seen a number of students have their 2-point slings interior with working the pump.
Yeager is a bead man, who recommends XS Big Dot tritium front bead mods. A mounted light (mandatory for a defensive shotgun IMHO), Velcro shot card, +2 factory magazine extension, and Magpul SGA stock round out the rig.
I am for sure going to try out a single point sling as a dedicated retention device for home defense. I understand they aren’t ideal for running around with the gun but I think for just securing the shotgun to a user to prevent disarmament during a home invasion scenario it could be very practical, and will not get in the way of operating the pump.

Yep...illumination tools are for suckers. That's why I mounted LED clock radios to the front of my car, and use the ambient light from the stars to illuminate what I need to see while driving.
And while trying to illuminate a potential threat in a self-defense situation? I eliminate the distraction of light completely by shutting my eyes.
Cannot bear the messenger. At all. Find it hard to believe he has anything useful to say about anything.
If there was a threat outside my home, I would call 911 and make sure the doors and windows are locked and would prepare to defend the inside. I'm not playing a soldier in a video gameI wouldn’t go as far as saying they are for suckers but if you thought there was a threat outside your house, would you,
A. Turn on every inside and outside light at your house.
B. Turn on every inside light and off all outside light.
C. Turn off every inside light and on all outside light.
Why?

D. Leave everything as is. Night lights inside and dusk to dawn and multi solar lights outside. And not open the door or go outside. Call 911 and watch quietly from a dark window, 870 in hand with round in chamber and safety on.I wouldn’t go as far as saying they are for suckers but if you thought there was a threat outside your house, would you,

I've had my fill of supposed experts who've never really done much of anything. Wasn't it McCracken who said all you needed was a light and a sidesaddle ?
A passed on member here, and long time residential general shotgun and combat shotgun master and expert.McCracken?
I would think the light would make a good target. Your thoughts please?
James Yeager, who thinks it's a good idea to have a photographer down range? I'll pass on his advice.
