## Overview

The TacStar Slimline Sidesaddle Shell Holder is a sleek, durable accessory designed for Mossberg 500, 590, and Maverick 88 shotguns. Featuring a weather-resistant synthetic rubber shell carrier and a contoured anodized aluminum backing, it offers secure shell retention and a low-profile fit that reduces snagging. Ideal for professionals and enthusiasts seeking quick reloads and reliable performance in the field.

## Description

The Slimline SideSaddle provides convenient placement of shells, right where you need them for a fast reload. It utilizes a non-glare, anodized aluminum backing plate material traditional to the SideSaddle, but the plate is contoured so that it takes up less space on the receiver and has fewer areas that could potentially snag. Additionally, shell carrier itself is constructed of proprietary flexible, synthetic rubber material, which offers durability and weather resistance as well as secure shell retention. The shell carrier also is small in size, adding to its sleek appearance. For 12 gauge only.

Review: Would buy again from this sellar - Good product, shipped early, exactly as expected.
Review: Best side saddle I've used. - Fits perfectly on the Remington 870 Tactical, shells are tight at first but seem to have broken in good after a few uses. Easy to install and remove, quality hardware included. Only complaints are: 1) There's no pad between the saddle and receiver but electrical tape fixes that. 2) There's a tiny gap towards the front due to flex if tightened down to much but hardly noticable. Overall, its the best saddle I've owned a d would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality side saddle for a fair price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this include all required hardware?**
A: Yes but if I would have installed it the grip on the pump would have hit the shell holder and wouldn’t reload. My grip was bigger from a full sized moss berg 500 if it was a pistol grip pump it probably would have worked because it has a slimmer front grip. I would just check to see how far the front grip comes back when u cock it back all the way.. if it covers any of the chamber it probably won’t work but it’s not that easy to install either. I ended up buying a shoulder strap that holds ou to 30 shells

**Q: **Does this fit the Remington 870 Tac-14?**
A: There is a model made for the Remington 870 that will fit the Tac 14.

**Q: Can this be mounted on the Mossberg 12g Shockwave with the crimson trace laser saddle?   The housing pin screw would need to match, but can't tell.**
A: No, you need to order the one for the Mossberg 500. It should fit the shockwave.

**Q: Does this one look just like the picture and has no universal backplate? Made specifically to line up with the 2 pins on the receiver of the rem 870.**
A: Yes this one will work with the rem 870

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very sturdy, but a little stiff
*by R***A on January 10, 2020*

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.
