In searching for a good side saddle shell holder for my son's Mossy 590 and my 590A1, I found the Tac Star model popping up right away for around $30 or so. In reading about it, it's plastic. Had some concerns of it breaking since it is protruding off the side of the receiver and all. I read reviews and found several mentioning the Mesa Tactical model, so I search for that one. Holy Crap!!! $75!! Seemed like a lot, but I didn't feel like having a shell carrier on a fighting shotgun that could easily break. I decided to try the six shell holder Mesa Tacitcal model. Super solid constuction--you won't break this. Easily goes on the gun. Nice. Holds shells with good friction, plus came with another piece of friction tubing you can install for a snugger grip on your shells. My son is happy with it. He has a SpeedFeed stock on his so he can carry 10 extra rounds on top of the 8+1 the gun holds. I decided to go one step further for my A1. Found the 8 round holder on a different site (botachtactical) for the same price my son paid for the 6 rounder. Free shipping, no tax=NICE. Was a little concerned the 8 rounder may sit too far to the rear and interfere with my thumb getting to the safety. Got it installed, no issues with my thumb and the safety at all. Looks badass. Put 8 rounds of 2 3/4" 00 buck in it. Weight isn't bad at all. Looks badass. Did I mention that? Don't have to worry if I bang it in to something, it's not going to break or budge. Last but not least, if the friction tube that holds the shells in wears out, Mesa Tactical will send you a new one...free. Can't beat that. All in all, high quality for the money. You get what you pay for and we are both 100% satisfied. No matter if you choose the 4, 6, or 8 round model, you will be glad you spent a little more and didn't settle for plastic on this accessory.

This side saddle is solidly built. It is easy to install, and you can tell it won’t be damaged easily.2 downsides?Can’t store your shells in it indefinitely.I left some in for a week to see, and they began to be loose.Adds an extra step in cleaning your shotgun.This really isn’t a big deal, it’s not THAT much time.By and large, I am happy with my purchase. I wish that you can store shells in indefinitely, but I also do not like parts that break easily or become unreliable on my home defense firearms, this will not break and I keep 6 shells safely near where I store my HD shotgun. It takes no time to grab them and slap them in on my way out.

Mesa tactical stuff costs a little more but is worth it. The shotshell carrier is very solid. The install is a little tricky because you have to be firm but patient getting the unit to slide over the receiver nut. Everything else on the install is a piece of cake. This is a super good addition to any Mossberg shotgun. Highly recommended.

I've had plastic shell holders like the tac star on shotguns in the past, but for my new 590a1 I decided to spend the extra money and go for this one. I'm happy that I did. It's sturdy, retains the shells very securely and as an added bonus it looks a lot better on the shotgun than the plastic ones. There is also an additional strip of more rigid retention tubing if you need a more secure hold for the shells than the tubing that comes installed with it. The fit was perfect, the instructions were adequate, and it took under 10 minutes to install it. All you need is a screwdriver, a 5/32" pin punch, and some blue loctite. It's help up well to use & abuse so far, and I have no doubt it will continue to do so.

This thing is a pure BEAST!!! Mounts solid as a rock and doesn't budge under heavy recoil. My mossberg 590 looks zombie ready with this bad boy mounted on the side, and it holds the shells tightly in place thanks to the rubbery gasket type material that's inside each shell compartment. It's fairly easy to install with a few simple tools and some blue loctite. I've run an entire 250 round case of buckshot through the gun with this thing mounted and it's as sturdy as a tree stump. Skip the cheap plastic side saddles and get one of these beasts, you won't regret it. Seller did an excellent job with fast shipping too.

I put this on my Mossberg 500A with no real problems. I did have to sand the castle nut just a tiny amount to let it slide freely in the slot. The Chicago screw was the precise length and didn't need any adjustment. I left the black tube in and put high brass )) buck shells in the holder. Ran 6 shots of the same ammo through the gun and they ones in the holder didn't budge. Flipping the gun over you can very easily remove the spare rounds and load them into the gun. Besides performing flawlessly it looks pretty cool. I have the Mesa Tactical LEO stock adapter with a Magpul MOE stock. Overall it's a solid working and feeling machine.

Awesome product. The install took 5 minutes max. The chicago screws hold this in place well. I've put about 300 rounds through my mossberg 500 and the carrier is still rock solid. I would recommend ordering a tube of blue loctite or blue permatex with the carrier to save yourself a trip to the hardware store. One drop on each screw while you're installing will keep this thing in place. Although the product is a little pricey it's definitely worth the extra money as it's built out of aluminum and not plastic like some other brands. 10/10.

Solid product! It fit my 590A1 snug and I had no issues installing it. Aside from being overpriced (Thanks Mesa :p) it is the best out there IMO.
