The TacStar SideSaddle shotshell ammunition carrier keeps reserve rounds exactly where you need them—mounted directly to your shotgun for fast, intuitive reloading without fumbling through pockets or gear. This black, 6-shell capacity carrier clamps onto your shotgun's receiver via an aluminum mounting plate, putting ammo within arm's reach during hunts, sport shooting, or tactical training. Installation is straightforward—mounting screws are included and no gunsmithing is required in most cases, though some field-grade shotguns may need minor forend adjustments. Shotguns equipped with a TacStar pistol grip forend mount without any modifications at all.

Built tough for outdoor conditions, the weatherproof shell carrier resists moisture and rough handling, whether you're hunting waterfowl in a blind, running a clay course, or working on the homestead. The side-mount design keeps your hands free and your sight picture unobstructed, unlike rail-mounted or under-barrel carriers that can interfere with shooting position or accessories. If the 6-shell capacity is more than you need, the 4-round version works universally with any shotgun without modification—giving you flexibility based on your mission and shotgun model.

Beyond the gun, this carrier doubles as a practical shotshell storage caddy for the truck bed, duck blind, boat, or cabin—a low-cost way to organize rounds and keep them dry and ready. Whether you're a competitive shotgunner, tactical enthusiast, or hunter who values mission-critical reloads in the field, the TacStar SideSaddle bridges the gap between fast access and simple, reliable hardware.
