Extra shell carry?

re:Inmy01TA

Who asked about shell types? I believe the op asked about carrying spare ammo...

No one. But, as many shells as some seem to need, I figured that all options must be considered. If a dozen rounds from a shotgun doesn't stop an intruder, then different ammo must be considered. Consider this a public service.:)

I've never heard of a shotgun that holds a dozen rounds myself, send me a link, I'd be interested. :D People like to have ammo on hand for various reasons, not just self defense. Even still, not a bad thing.
 
The butt cuff should do you well.

I have a 6-shot Tacstar sidesaddle on my Mossy which is alright. It hold the shells okay, but once you get ta' shootin' the shells can shift up and down a bit.
Activ was right on with the Mesa tactical sidesaddle. I just bought one of those for my incoming Rem Tac-2 and it blows my Tacstar saddle away. Theres a rubber insert in the Mesa saddle that should hold the shells much better than the Tacstar. The Mesa looks much more durable too, but for double the cost it better be.
Having the saddle attached might bother you at first, but I hardly notice mine anymore.

Theres also the Speedfeed stocks which can hold four in the buttstock. Even know the Rem Tac-2 comes with a pistol gripped Speedfeed I bought the pistol gripped III model that holds four shells.

Other than those, you can find bandalier(spelling :confused:) slings and little clips that hold 5+ shells with a belt clip attached.


As far as the dozen round shotty goes...
My Mossy holds 5+1 plus 6 in the saddle for a total of 12.
My in transit Rem Tac-2 will hold 7+1 plus 6 in the saddle plus 4 in the buttstock for a total of 18 :eek:
The Mesa saddle also comes in a 8 shot version as well, but a forend that doesn't reflex back over the receiver is needed.

Well, once I get my max100 extension, my 590a1 will have 8 in the gun, 6 in the tacstar and 4 more in the speedfeed. It's definitely noticeable in the weight, but I'm a bigger guy and well used to pump shotguns. I definitely would not recommend that many rounds in just a dedicated home gun and I wouldn't recommend all that onboard for the beginning shotgun user.. I'm probably going to pick up a 500 Persuader with absolutely nothiing on it for the house. My a1 is kind of a safequeen.
 
I have a screw-on thingy that makes the magazine hold two extras. Beyond that, I have a binocular bag with a strap that goes over my shoulder. I tried out a couple of ammo carriage systems on the gun, but found that I could draw and load ammo from my bag at hip level than I could pull it off the gun. Plus, the gun doesn't have the extra ammo on it, slowing it down.
