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."

Esstac Shotgun Card
Here is what I know. Price is good, card is great, and shipping was excellent. The only thing that would make these better is if SKD included the loop backer too. (Still waiting on a Die Cut Backer from another vendor) I can't comment on how long these will hold up and probably never will as I purchased them to be placed next to my HD Mossberg for quick reloads. But just by looking at them I would say they could take some abuse before they would need to be replaced.

Great Shotgun Card
The Esstac 7 round shotgun card works as well as the 5 round and gives a bit more capacity. Fits well on the off-side of the shotgun and holds the rounds securely. A great addition to your shotgun set up and highly recommended.

Shotgun Card
Great product. Would have expected it to come with a sheet of velcro for mounting to the receiver, but it did not. I'll look for that locally.

I think this applies...KISS
These Esstac Shotgun Cards are perfect for keeping extra ammo close at hand on your shotgun. The velcro backing is strong, and the elastic seems to be holding up well. Good Buy!

Best Saddle Available
This side saddle offers the fastest possible reload. Easily attached to any type of shotgun. Buy some industrial strength Velcro at any Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, etc and voilà; you're ready to go. It feels like it's made of the best quality nylon available and the stitching is strong as hell and durable. I've only ever bought the multicam ones and they look GREAT but I'm sure the other color options are just as good. Also, have not had any shells come loose during operation of the shotgun like they did in my original, traditional, bolted on, plastic side saddle. For $15 this can't be beat. Hope this helps.

Fast & Secure
Installed Esstac shotgun card "system" on my Mossberg 590A-1, and it works flawlessly. I use different card colors and loop configuration to differentiate 00's from slugs with different loads (ie: hi-velocity vs low recoil). With practice, I can cycle through quickly and efficiently, whether reloading the tube on the move or dropping into chamber for immediate fire. They stay readily available stored in pairs in M4 magazine pouches - fits perfectly. Very pleased with this product.
