Mesa Tactical SureShell Shotshell Carrier with 5" Picatinny Rail for Remington 870/1100/11-87 - 12 Gauge, Aluminum Matte

The Mesa Tactical SureShell Shotshell Carrier with 5" Picatinny Rail is a lightweight aluminum shell holder engineered for Remington 870, 1100, and 11-87 shotguns in 12 gauge. If you're running tactical drills, competitive shooting, or need faster reloads in the field, this side-mounted carrier lets you keep six rounds staged and ready on the left side of your receiver—no fumbling for ammo pouches or sling bags when every second counts.

The carrier uses a proprietary internal Santoprene elastomer rib that grips each shell securely in place, whether you're loading light target loads or heavy slugs. The design holds up under vigorous movement and the kind of recoil that would shake loose a poorly designed holder. Installation is straightforward: it attaches using the same proven steel-on-steel threaded adapters that replace your trigger group pins, anchoring the unit solidly to the receiver with zero wobble.

This Picatinny version wraps around the top of the receiver and mounts to both sides, giving you the flexibility to add a red dot, magnified optic, or other accessories directly to the integrated 5" rail. For Remington 1100 and 11-87 owners, this carrier fits without modification. Remington 870 users will need a shorter tactical-style forend to accommodate the profile. All mounting hardware, installation tools, and detailed instructions ship with the unit.

Built in durable matte-finish aluminum, this is a practical choice for serious shooters who want reliable ammunition access without adding unnecessary weight or complexity to their shotgun setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this carrier fit my Remington 870 without modifications?

The carrier itself installs without modification, but you'll need to use a shorter tactical-style forend than the factory stock forend to accommodate the carrier's profile. Remington 1100 and 11-87 owners can mount it without forend changes.

What's holding the shells in place, and will they stay secure during recoil?

The carrier uses proprietary internal Santoprene elastomer ribs that grip each shell securely. This design is engineered to retain even heavy slug loads during vigorous movement and heavy recoil.

Can I mount an optic or red dot to this carrier?

Yes. The integrated 5" Picatinny rail on top lets you mount any Picatinny-compatible sight, red dot, or other accessories for enhanced target acquisition.

What's included in the box?
