1. There's the Speedfeed "I" stock, but I don't think that's what you're referring to or is it? It also comes in a pistol-gripped full stock version. They only come in the more or less standard 14" LOP, btw.
2. My favorite is the Spectergear.com (photo attached).
3. MichaelsofOregon.com's neoprene stretch-on carrier didn't work well for me. It stretched out, dropping shells out and the whole carrier slips forward to easily: http://www.michaelsoforegon.com/adt...y=4954223&subcatky1=4548774&subcatky2=2000118
4. I have an older version, which I like better, which has the entire body made from elastic instead of neoprene. This one has just held up better over a few years than the neoprene one.
5. I believe blackhawk.com has a carrier, too, which has a cheek pad and pouch, in addition to the shell carrier. I have not tried this one.

Spectre sent some samples for a recent shotgun project, that webbed carrier is now on one of my 870s, it's a good quality unit. Not as handy as the SideSaddle, but still carries spare rounds on the gun.
The problem I find with the six-round SideSaddles is that they clutter up the natural balance point of the shotgun for carrying it one-handed. A four-rounder can work better.

Mesa Tactical makes side saddels out of aircraft aluminum. I have a 4 shell holder on my 870 on the right side. Very high quality.

75,
Just got two from Mesa, both four-bangers, left side. One's adjustable on its mounting plate, you can put the four rounds in any of three locations fore & aft on it, the other's a dedicated position one.
Pretty rugged, but you do need to acquaint yourself with how to pull the shells out.
Thanks again for the reminder.

Mesa Tactical. I am left handed thus the holder is on the right side.

They are built to take a lot of abuse. Pricey but worth it IMHO.
