TacStar SideSaddle Remington 870/1100/1187 12 Gauge 6-Round Shell Carrier - Black Polymer with Aluminum Mounting Plate

The TacStar SideSaddle for Remington 870/1100/1187 shotguns is a 6-round shell carrier that bolts directly to your receiver, giving you fast-access ammo storage without reaching a vest pocket or mag pouch. Built from weatherproof polymer with an aluminum mounting plate, it's designed for hunters and shooters who want extra rounds within arm's reach for quick reloads in the field or at the range. Installation is straightforward—all screws are included, and no gunsmith work is required on most shotguns.

The carrier mounts to the side of the receiver, keeping rounds organized and protected from the elements while staying accessible in a tactical or hunting setup. The polymer construction resists corrosion, so it'll hold up in wet conditions and rough handling. This is a proven design that's been a go-to accessory for 870/1100/1187 users for decades, whether you're running a tactical setup, hunting birds, or training at the range.

Note that installation on some field-grade shotguns may require minor forend modification; however, shotguns equipped with a TacStar pistol grip forend won't need any work. The 6-round capacity gives you plenty of reload capacity without excessive bulk—if you prefer a lower-profile option, TacStar's 4-round model will fit all variants without modification. Beyond the shotgun, many shooters repurpose the SideSaddle as a convenient ammo caddy for a duck blind, boat, or cabin.
