Use wet wipes to clean leather and suede. In case of heavy contamination, you can wash off the dirt with a stream of cold water. After that, dry the product and treat it with a water-repellent spray. You can use colorless protective creams (like shoe creams) but this can affect the color of the leather and suede. Nowadays, I find myself using more game vests and belt-hung shell pouches than anything, the latter during informal claybird shoots. However, I still use those handy flap-covered bandoleers, sometimes with a dual-shell clip-on thingy. makes extremely strong and durable bandoliers that hold 5 rounds, and there is a more significant 12 round option out there as well. These bandoliers are quite robust, and they can be used over and over and over. 5.11 Shotgun holderTwo presumed negatives of the shotgun is limited range and capacity. Both are true to some extent, although slugs will arguably cover distances justifiable from a legal perspective. As for capacity, there was a time halfway around the globe when I would’ve given my teeth for a detachable-magazine pump gun. And some of us use all of the above, depending on the circumstances. Do an online search for your pastime of interest and all sorts of gear will appear. Mostly Sporting – Possibly Defense The 5.11 All Missions Plate Carrier, or AMP, is a very comfortable vest, and when fully geared up, the plate carrier can tote quite a bit of gear.

The above choices are really just the tip of the iceberg. I’m betting others into shotguns have different lists of favorites that work well. But, since it was impossible to try them all, I went with those that worked well for me during hands-on use. Because it’s a little slower and the bandoliers are a little faster, I can reload the shotgun from the bandolier in a hurry and then reload the bandoliers from this pouch if things have gotten a little slower. VTAC Shell pouch These systems are sold to fit the receivers of popular repeating shotguns such as Remington Model 870s and Mossberg 500 pumps.

That’s a lot of shells.

Q & A

Most avid shotgun shooters wouldn’t consider those firearms complete without shotgun shell holders. Two useful claybird options in simultaneous use between the shotgun vest and belt pouch. This shotgun will probably never see a side-saddle or extended magazine – but the shooter has plenty of shells! Probably Just Defense You guys remember the AmmoPal, right? I talked about it a long time ago. It’s like a Pez dispenser for 12 gauge shotgun shells. My well-loved AmmoPal That’s cool, the issue lies in the fact that this shotgun sling has 15 loops to accommodate 15 shells of 12 gauge ammo. Those 15 slots are orientated to front of the sling. The problem this creates all revolves around weight.

The AmmoPal also protects all but 1 round from the elements. AmmoPal Leather include beautiful original markings form the cow’s life, such as scarring, welts, brand marks and more. Your item may not look exactly as shown here. Or just spring for a dual-magazine shotgun and call it good. Go this route and you’ll need a sighting system, meaning the project won’t be cheap. My experience is limited to the aforementioned KSGs. These futuristic looking pumps allow selection of the magazines, each of which can hold seven shells. I love these shotshell cards, cery stiff, high quality stitching, first rate product. Made in USA, too! All necessary installation hardware, tools, and instructions are included with the holders. The Remington Sidemount requires a shortened, tactical-style forend to accommodate 6- and 8-round sidemount units. The Remington 1100/11-87 require minor forend alterations to fit the 8-round model. The Benelli Picatinny requires drilling/tapping the receiver to fit M1.

Effective range, depending on the gun and load, will max out at around 35–40 yards. More range (and punch) will require a switch to a slug. A common 12 gauge rifled-slug shell contains a one-ounce, .73-caliber lead bullet. Small, convenient, and extremely affordable are the best way to describe the Safariland 2 Shell belt carrier.
