TacStar Slimline Sidesaddle Shell Holder

Good product, shipped early, exactly as expected.

Fits perfectly on the Remington 870 Tactical, shells are tight at first but seem to have broken in good after a few uses. Easy to install and remove, quality hardware included. Only complaints are: 1) There's no pad between the saddle and receiver but electrical tape fixes that. 2) There's a tiny gap towards the front due to flex if tightened down to much but hardly noticable. Overall, its the best saddle I've owned a d would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality side saddle for a fair price.

I've got this mounted on my Maverick 88. Installation was pretty easy (I'm a novice shotgun user). The flexible hard plastic that holds the shells are rather stiff. I've read suggestions to apply a little bit of Vaseline on the inside, then shove the brass of shells all the way through the carrier so that the plastic stretches just a bit. The practice shell that comes with it doesn't have a large brass, so it's easy to pull out of carrier. Regular shells, if pushed all the way in, are much more difficult to pull out. I used this side saddle at the range. If you don't shove the shells all the way, they become easy to pull out with average effort. I would not recommend these for speed shooting. I'd recommend these for a secure hold if you are expecting to run with the shotgun or swing it around. The shells will NOT come loose or fall out. This side saddle will for sure hold your shells in, plus will not deteriorate like elastic does. I'm very happy with this purchase and will not seek to replace it. I will only recommend the elastic shell carriers if you plan on speed reloading. Note: I purchased this item around the same time my wife purchased this item for me also. Fortunately, my item got lost in the mail, so the customer service was very proactive and offered a replacement or refund. I took the refund, but was so impressed with the shell holder I had to write this review.

This is my 14th Tacstar side saddle I have bought for my Mossberg shotguns and still have them all and they have all functioned flawlessly weather it be the 2 3/4 shells or the mini shells they stay in the saddle without any worry, during hunts, or drills and training. I absolutely recommend this side saddle over any other brands side saddle

Perfect fit on my Mossberg 500. It came with a practice "snap cap" which is super cool! Also came with all the hardware needed to mount it. Highly recommend for the price! I will for sure be buying another one for my 870 Wingmaster. Also, other Reviews show the shell holders. Being rubber. This one is hard plastic with rubber inserts and have great shell retention.

Construction feels solid and was easy to install. However 1st range visit practicing tactical reloads which is what the side saddle is designed for, the rubber pieces that make your shells fit snug degenerated to the point that the shells will fall out if you turn the shotgun upside down. I would have probably spent a little more money and got something better had I known it was made this cheaply. If you’re never gonna use it for what it’s for, go for it!

This shell holder was easy to install, looks good and is of high quality. I like that I can keep shot shells at the ready without having them being compressed in the magazine tube and wearing out the magazine spring in storage.

Product was correct , arrived on time. Ordered two at same time. One good to go other was missing mounting hardware… $40 item it will cost more money to return than Order another and hope it shows complete

Product came with one snap cap, wasn't expecting that...so nice touch. Shells fit perfect, no issues like those mentioned in previous reviews so maybe they fixed that. The sidesaddle and mounting hardware was high quality. Installation was under 10 mins. Very happy with this product and would highly recommend this product. BTW...using on a Mossberg Maverick 88.

This is an excellent side saddle shell holder. The tension on the shells is perfect -- they don't fall out, but they are not difficult to pull out. Installation is straight forward, you push the trigger pins out and replace with the screws provided. They are perfectly sized for the trigger and receiver pin sizes. Note... my standard 870 forend interferes with the side saddle.... you either need a shorter forend or you need to trim the stock forend. My 870 is not collector grade so I just took a dremel and trimmed it out. Looks fine, functions perfectly.

So far so good. Sticks well. Holds shells tight

Excellent choice for your Remington 870 fit seamlessly on the other side of the rifle and allows you to reload faster a must have for any serious shooter hunter.

Works perfect! Very well built and holds shells perfectly. Shells can be a bit tight in the slots but just leave some shells in the slots with a few wraps of electrical tape around then to stretch them abit. Then they fit perfect after about a week.
