Overview
This side saddle is designed to add organized, accessible shell storage to compatible 12-gauge shotguns, making it a practical choice for hunters and shooters who want extra rounds close at hand. Its customizable 9-shell configuration lets you place shell holders where you want them, so you can set it up to match your preferred carry and loading style. The integrated top rail and skeletonized design give it a streamlined profile, while the CNC-machined 6061 T6 aluminum and military-grade reinforced synthetic material provide a solid, purpose-built construction. It fits Mossberg 500/590 12GA with a tapped receiver directly, with modifications required for Maverick 88, Remington 870, and Winchester SXP.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Requires a Mossberg 500/590 12GA with a tapped receiver for direct fit; other listed shotguns need modifications, so compatibility is not universal.
- The 9-shell setup is customizable, but shell holders can be mounted in any location, which means setup is user-dependent rather than fixed.
- Installation calls for care with screw torque; over-tightening can strip holes or break screw heads, and those issues are not covered under the warranty.
- The integrated top rail adds utility, but it also means the side saddle is not just a shell carrier and may affect how the shotgun is configured overall.
