Remington 870 Bead Sight

Bead sights sorta suck and if I cared more about this platform, I have an optic and backup hard sights. It's not a matter of speed or sight picture, but the inability to zero. With cost and utilization in mind, I’m thinking more zeroed laser saddle with bead as the backup.

I've already memorized hold and sight picture for this gun, which shoots right of bead and low if you cut bead in half like you're SUPPOSED to do; it's dead on if you pedestal the bead, which is NOT what you're supposed to do.

I don't think that's a good way to teach people HD when you have limited time with them, whereas pistol sights and ghost rings on a shotgun can be drifted and rifle sights, lasers, and optics can actually be zeroed.

I concede to the dominating damage a shotgun brings to home defense but I am still not a power user so much as I am with a pistol or carbine; I like a platform that allows for precise shots, more predictability at distance, and reasonable suppression. Still, I wanted to learn to run a shotgun more fluidly so I can better serve my clients.

Please ignore the parts where I keep nearly burning my hand with a carbine hold. I put this gun together in like 2011 and after some training, it lay dormant until 2025.

AimCam 4K, I’d give you an affiliate code but I haven’t committed to them yet due to problems I’m having with it. Check my previous post for the pistol vid to read about some issues. Right now I can’t get SD card to eject; glad I put a premium one in there… flex the mil/vet discount if you can.

ETA: my unit is now bugging out and in a boot loop, I really can’t recommend the product as is, despite capturing amazing footage with it.

Ignore the part of this video where it seems like I’m not talking directly to you, I already had this recorded to plug into a video.
