Slimline Sidesaddle Shell Holder

This fits my Mossberg 500 Standoff really well and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the side saddle. I owned another side saddle from a previous build that was a plate secured to the Mossberg 500 with the trigger assembly and bolt guide screw like this one. The major difference was that the saddle part was attached to the plate with 6 tiny screws. Anytime you would need to take it apart, you had 8 screws to deal with. This attaches with just the trigger assembly screw (basically 2 halves that screw into each other) and the bolt guide screw (which secures the saddle with a small nut tightened on the screw). The fully assembled saddle looks great and feels very solid. Definitely worth the purchase price.

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.

Perfect for my mini shotgun

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
