This is the product: http://www.demooner.com/shotguns.php
Instead of being a classical stripper clip that holds cartridges together for speed-loading a rifle, the Demooner version is a belt clip that holds 12-gauge shells for quick one-at-a-time dispensing. The unit is well made and sturdy and is meant for 3" shells. Shells are dispensed from the top of the unit; simply reach down, grab one and pull it out. The retention mechanism is a simple loop of spring wire and is effective. The stripper comes with spacers so it can securely hold 2.75" shells of various manufacturers.
I do rather like this thing in use and am comfortable using it left or right-handed. You have to make sure the shells are pointed in the right direction on your belt so you don't try to load them brass-first. I can leave the shotgun mounted to my shoulder and stuff shells in with my free hand without moving my eyes or muzzle from the target. Way better than a Sidesaddle IMHO, except with the Sidesaddle the ammo is kept with the gun.
One thing I dislike about the stripper are the spacers. They do allow for proper holding of cartridges shorter than three inches, but the method of holding the spacer inside the stripper is rather hokey (Velcro buttons). The main reason I bought the stripper was for Federal 2.75" shells so I will probably bond the spacer in permanently.
