TacStar Slimline SideSaddle 12 Gauge 6-Round Aluminum Shotshell Carrier with Rubber Shell Holder

The TacStar Slimline SideSaddle 12 gauge shotshell carrier is built for shooters who need fast, reliable access to ammunition without adding bulk to the receiver. This 6-round aluminum sidesaddle mounts shells exactly where you need them for quick reloads during tactical drills, competition, or field work. The slimline design proves that practical doesn't mean oversized—it delivers shell storage in a compact footprint that won't snag on brush, gear, or your shooting position.

What sets the Slimline apart is the thoughtful engineering behind every detail. The anodized aluminum backing plate is non-glare and contoured to sit tight against the receiver while minimizing snag points. The proprietary synthetic rubber shell holder flexes with use, grips rounds securely, and stands up to weather and hard handling. Everything here is sized down from TacStar's traditional sidesaddle, but without sacrificing durability or function—just a cleaner, sleeker profile that doesn't compromise carry or reload speed.

Whether you're running a combat course, hunting upland game, or working through 3-gun stages, side-mounted ammunition keeps your off-hand free and shells in the ready position. The rubber carrier material resists cracking in cold, won't degrade from sun exposure, and holds rounds firmly in place whether you're moving or stationary. This is the kind of accessory that disappears into your setup and just works.

12 gauge only. TacStar's Slimline SideSaddle is a no-nonsense upgrade for shotgunners who want ammo accessible without the extra real estate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this sidesaddle work with my 12 gauge shotgun?

Yes, the TacStar Slimline SideSaddle is designed for 12 gauge ammunition only. It mounts to the receiver of most 12 gauge shotguns, though fit varies by platform—check with your shotgun's manual or contact us for specific compatibility.

What's the difference between the Slimline and TacStar's traditional sidesaddle?

The Slimline version features a contoured backing plate and smaller shell carrier than the standard model, reducing overall bulk and snag points while maintaining the same 6-round capacity and reliable performance. The core materials—anodized aluminum and synthetic rubber—are the same proven construction.

Will the rubber shell holder secure rounds during movement?

Yes. The proprietary synthetic rubber is designed to grip and hold rounds securely in place, even during aggressive movement or recoil. The flexible material also resists weather and maintains retention over time.

Is this carrier resistant to weather and outdoor use?

Absolutely. The anodized aluminum backing plate and synthetic rubber shell holder are built to handle sun, moisture, and temperature swings without cracking or degrading. Both materials are chosen for durability in field conditions.
