Esstac Shotgun Card
There is hook velcro sewn on the back of the shotgun cards. Made for 12gauge shotgun shells only. The "Add Sticky Back Loop Velcro for $1.50" option is a strip of industrial strength loop velcro with industrial strength adhesive. Choose this option if you would like to attach the shotgun card to your shotguns receiver. Please let the velcro adhere for 24 hours to let the adhesive take a set.

Esstac Shotgun card - Simple and fast. My jedi master showed me the true benefit of this simple shotgun reload. Slap some loop on your shotgun's left side. Load a few shotgun cards, and place one on the gun. You can fit the spares (back to back if it's a bigger pouch) in a single mag pouch. As you reload the shotgun, tear off the empty shotgun card, pull out a new one and slap it on. You're ready to slay even more zombies. Super easy, cheap when compared to other side saddles, and very, very fast. View More SKD Staff Picks
7 rounds of 12 gauge ammunition can be carried on the Esstac Shotgun Card, which is backed with hook. Put two of these back to back, and you have a 14-round bundle that fills up a double M4 magazine pouch. Line the side of your receiver with loop, and you have an ammo "side-saddle" system that you can replace in an instant- perfect for Law Enforcement use, whether it is for breaching or less-lethal rounds. The versatility of these Shotgun Cards will prove themselves many times over the more you use them!
Note from Stu @ Esstac about the elastic loop longevity:
"Shotty cards, treat them like a magazine. They will wear more quickly with use rather then just sitting loaded, they will lose some tension over time but that is normal for elastic, I have a couple ammo cans full of loaded shotgun cards and they are still GTG several years later."
Black, Coyote Brown, and RangerGreen is Mil Spec Elastic.
Muliticam color is printed Mil Spec Elastic.

Excellent quality and purpose.
I do not want to stick Velcro onto my shotgun but wanted to carry a quantity of shells. I purchased some industrial strength Velcro and rigged 2 cards back to back giving me 14 rounds per set. Multiplied by the 5 mag pockets on my tactical gun case, I am carrying 70 shells with the weapon. As usual quality and color is top tier and SKD rules in shipping.

Dont forget to get Velcro
Velcro is not included with this purchase. It’s not difficult to get Velcro however it would’ve been nice to know that the esstac Velcro was not included. At first I was hesitant about the adhesive Velcro (that I bought later separately) would hold. However I have no issues yet after taking my shotgun out for some skeet shooting. Only giving it 4 stars because of the very small inconvenience of having to acquire Velcro separately.

Great Price strong elastic
I had a concern when I first loaded the loops they seemed very tight but once loaded. The cards work fine and will stretch out more with use. So should give long working life. I installed a strip of industrial strength Velcro on my receiver (clean thoroughly with 90% alcohol first) it holds great. I made a rubbing of the receiver to make a pattern then glued it to the back of the Velcro to punch out the receiver pin holes and cut the Velcro to fit. I have a stock ammo carrier also but wanted more ammo for the fight. Remember nobody ever complained about having to much ammo on hand during a fight and you usually only get to fight with what is on the gun. The shotgun is always hungry feed it as you use it. I carry mine with the primers down so I don't have to roll it to load. I know most teach to go over the top to load but it seems a little faster for me to load two at a time from underneath.

Shotgun card
These cards are awesome. Shells stay put when you go hot. Even if you run brass down. Best side saddle option out there.

Esstac Shotgun Card
I'm totally sold on this system. In my opinion this is far superior to a rigid , permanent type side saddle. Bought the adhesive backed 2" x 4ft Velcro brand , industrial grade strips from Amazon, 2 boxes of 2" x 4' for around $ 7.00 . Wiped the receiver with alcohol, let dry , mounted adhesive strip. Done deal . Has not budged. Cards , even loaded with 3" shells insert and fit 30 rnd M4 ammo pouch perfectly. Insert velcro side out for effortless retrieval. Swapping over from AR to shotgun, using same pouches is done in a minute. Quality of cards is high, worth the investment. I recommended to a friend this very day .
