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.

Shotgun 7-round card by Esstac
I saw the need for carrying a reload only my Mossberg 590a1home defense go-to weapon to enhance the capability. I have several friends who were using the esstac card, l liked it, and ordered 4, I was surprised how fast they got here. I mounted it immediately...

Brilliant product
This is genius, seriously. I keep my first card attached to the carpet in the back of my vehicle and stick it to my body armor when carrying my 870 on duty or qualifying at the range. It fits in a vest mounted M4 mag pouch perfectly or in a long gun case pouch/Velcro pocket. I have a second stuck on the carpet of my safe to grab in a hurry. I've been thinking that some adhesive loop Velcro attached to the receiver of a shotgun would be another great use, if you don't mind the mess. Simple, effective, kick ass.

Well made, sturdy.
Reliably stores 7 rounds, easily swaps out to resupply 7 more, inexpensive but very well built. Plan to buy more. SKD continues to have great products w/incredibly fast & cheap shipping.

Good quality. Good look.
As you all know, shotguns have a low capacity. This will definately fix that. I was originally going to go with a Mesa tactical side saddle but found out these are more tactical and practical. You can buy 4-5 of these for the same price. When your card's empty, rip it off and slap another one on your shotgun. I love the quality and 7 round capacity on this. I run an 870 so this is perfect. Love it so much I made an installation and review of this (http://youtu.be/4YYsVZUwYoQ). Great service and shipping speed.

Great product & fast delivery
I was looking for a shotgun card for my Remington 870 Tactical Express. This card was the perfect size (and 7 shells instead of the standard 6). I bought the opposite Velcro piece at Lowes, glued it on and attached the card. Done! Plus I also bought a second card, so my home defense shotgun has 18 shells (7+7+4 in the tube). Great product, fast delivery, I will be back!!

So far, so good.
I've had a few of these for a couple of weeks now. I decided to take a chance on them, since so many other side-saddle-type ammo carriers cost a LOT more than $15. I'm curious as to how they'll hold up in the long run, but they definitely appear to be well-made. As of right now, I'm totally satisfied with them and, if the ones I have right now prove to be fairly durable, I'll definitely be buying more. Also, I was very pleasantly surprised by SKD's prompt processing and delivery. I was billed for my order within a couple of hours of placing it, and received a package in the mail three days later. Very impressive!

Great saddle
Simple, rugged, holds seven pills to fill my 590a1. A nice feature is it's there when I want and not when I don't, just peel it off, then plug and play when time to go to work. I need more. And a good dedicated shotgun chest rig, hint hint skd, I've got money in hand.

K.I.S.S.
Great idea, simple execution and quality manufacture. I purchased two and am considering buying a third. I like the idea that you can put spares in a AR mag Pouch. This is a great product that you will not regret buying.

Not ranger green.
Good and versatile way to hold shotgun rounds.With the velcro back i can attatch it to many diffrent platforms. (plate carrier, chest rig, or shotgun directly) Holds rounds securely. Color was OD green not ranger green , but whatever still awesome.
