Allen Company Buttstock Shotgun Shell Holder

Product Information

For added protection, some holders come with a rubberized coating that protects them from scratches and wear and tear. Or just spring for a dual-magazine shotgun and call it good. Go this route and you’ll need a sighting system, meaning the project won’t be cheap. My experience is limited to the aforementioned KSGs. These futuristic looking pumps allow selection of the magazines, each of which can hold seven shells. That’s cool, the issue lies in the fact that this shotgun sling has 15 loops to accommodate 15 shells of 12 gauge ammo. Those 15 slots are orientated to front of the sling. The problem this creates all revolves around weight.

The Mesa Tactical Products Receiver Mount Shell Holder is a rugged and lightweight aluminum holder that provides extra 12 gauge shotshells on the left side of the receiver for fast tactical reloads. It is available in sidemount or Picatinny rail configurations and has a Santoprene elastomer rib that securely retains heavy slug shells during movement or recoil. Leather include beautiful original markings form the cow’s life, such as scarring, welts, brand marks and more. Your item may not look exactly as shown here.

Mounts with included hook and loop,M6-screws or adapter (adapter not included in assemblies size 20, 28 or 32). As for spare shells, the fourteen in the KSG will hopefully suffice. If not, supposedly the latest S&W M&P 12 will hold 22 Mini-shells. That oughta do it. Parting Shots All necessary installation hardware, tools, and instructions are included with the holders. The Remington Sidemount requires a shortened, tactical-style forend to accommodate 6- and 8-round sidemount units. The Remington 1100/11-87 require minor forend alterations to fit the 8-round model. The Benelli Picatinny requires drilling/tapping the receiver to fit M1. Later, I wound up shepherding an active LE shotgun program for a period long enough to encompass pretty much everything from bead-barreled police pumps through twin-magazine bullpups. Along the way my thinking changed as well.

On a plate carrier, and when ran horizontally, it works wonderfully. It’s easy to reach the shells and easy to load your gun from. The AmmoPal also protects all but 1 round from the elements. AmmoPal Two useful claybird options in simultaneous use between the shotgun vest and belt pouch. This shotgun will probably never see a side-saddle or extended magazine – but the shooter has plenty of shells! Probably Just Defense For starters, like revolvers and traditional lever-action rifles, tube-fed shotguns are self-contained designs. No worries about lost mags (as well as their contents). It does so while giving you access to these shells, and providing a high level of retention to the ammo. The top of the ammo pouch has two layers of elastic material that lie on top of each other. Both are open-but-closed until peeled away as you grab ammunition. The elastic lips that protect your ammo. However, the better general-purpose choice is a field-worthy system combining shell retention with protection from the elements. Comfort is also worth considering (especially if seated). Shotgunners already into the tactical world already have preferences to include Molle gear and tactical vests.Actually, a double-gun isn’t a bad home-defense choice, and some are made expressly for this purpose. But, of course, even a basic pump or autoloader can double its capacity. For more, beyond a magazine extension, it’s the side-saddle option. Because it’s a little slower and the bandoliers are a little faster, I can reload the shotgun from the bandolier in a hurry and then reload the bandoliers from this pouch if things have gotten a little slower. VTAC Shell pouch The Mossberg Sidemount is a 6-round unit that attaches in the same manner as the Remington Sidemount and fits Mossberg 500/590. Benelli Picatinny models include an integral Picatinny rail and mount to the top of factory drilled/tapped receivers. Available in 6-round for Benelli M1/M2, 6- and 8-round for M4/M1014, and 4-round for Supernova shotguns. Useful total shell height adjustment range 33mm, useful self-adjustment range ( tensioned spring travel) 13mm No doubt some is attributable to new designs with distinctly tactical appearances. Kel Tec’s KSG and S&W’s new M&P 12 are two examples but, as many long-in-the-tooth law enforcement folks will attest, the less glamorous traditional designs are far from arcane relics.
