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."

Shotgun Cards
A very good way to have a supply of ammo right at your finger tips. Works well when affixed right to the side of your shotgun.

Shotgun Cards
My order was processed fast and the equipment makes my extra shotgun rounds readily accessible and easily swapped depending on what type of round is needed.

Even Obama Would Operate With
I made my own cards using a shotgun belt and some velcro, the recoil from my shotgun tossed them on the ground like a red headed newborn, these cards not only like OAF with their multicam fabric but they stick to the side of my shotgun through all the front flips and temple indexing I can physically manage. Pro tip/life hack: store them with ammo inserted to loosen them up a little, they're easier to load after some time in storage like that.

Fast Shipping and Excellent Product
The esstac shotgun card was shipped to me extremely fast. It was as exactly as described on the website. It holds my shells, I plan on ordering a few more.

Pretty Good
A great way to store and deploy a strip of shells. It's a little hard to get the shells in at first but I'm sure the elastic with break in after a while. Thanks SKD!

Built strong
Defanatly built tough. Shells are hard to get in at first because the elastic is so tight. What I don't like at first is that when fully loaded, the shot card curls so that the Velcro side bows away from the receiver. If you don't have enough Velcro it won't hold down the bend. Hopefully over time the will break in and straighten out. Still think its a great product.

Theoretically good, practically weak
Shells fall out during firing. It is that simple. I had these for over year. Left the shells in. That might have loosened the straps, but that's besides the point. Going with steel sidesaddles from now on. This product is not for serious shooters in my opinion.

holster with ram handle bar mounting.
After I get the handle bar mounting bracket I should be able to talk to the matter of likes and dislikes . I am worried however about the flimsy appearance of the holster. I hope I can shrink it enough for adequate retention on a 4wheeler on rough trail rides.
