Why Lynn Thompson trusts the single-shot shotgun worldwide

Tim and Kim are in Africa at the Buffalo Bore Game Preserve, but we wanted to make sure to keep providing plenty of videos and insights for our followers. So every Friday, we’ll have a guest video from our friend Lynn Thompson, founder of Cold Steel Knives (sold it 5 years ago), knife tycoon and extreme handgun hunter. In this video, Lynn explains why the single-shot shotgun remains one of the most effective, reliable, and underestimated firearms in the world, from hunting in Africa to real-world survival situations. Drawing on firsthand experience from places like Zambia, he walks through the advantages, disadvantages, and practical techniques for running a single-shot shotgun under demanding conditions.
