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.

Cards are firm and hold the shells tightly
They do not loosened up under recoil. This is a quality product, and I expect it to last me quite some time before I have to get new ones.

Esstac Shotgun Cards
I bought three of the cards. They arrived very quickly, which was a surprise. They appear to be of a high quality and hold the shells snug. I like the concept of the Velcro cards as opposed to the nylon bolt-on shell carriers for the versatility in relaoding. Time will tell how long these will last but at 15 bucks a piece it really doesn't matter.. Thank you SKD!

Solid
A "no non-sense" product. Functional and sturdy. The card also has a relatively small footprint, which is good since the real estate on a shotgun is fairly precious. Great price.

Best shotgun upgrade!
Not only is it an awesome product, you can't beat SKD's customer service and fast shipping. If you have a 12 gauge, buy it!

Awesome Sidesaddle Option
Lightening fast shipping from the Ninjas... ordered Thursday morning, arrived Friday afternoon. I had bought some of these cards back in February when they were in stock and was quite impressed. The card will hold both 20 and 12 gauge rounds. I appreciate that aspect and don't mind the tightness of the loops. The capability to hold the 7 rounds also is a great selling point. Something to look into when purchasing is to make sure that your forend on your gun does not overlap onto the receiver when cycling. Due to the size of the card, I had to upgrade the forend to a Magpul due to the stock forend not allowing the card to sit on the gun. Awesome product. Awesome site. Keep up the great work

Excellent for Mossberg 500 Sidesaddle Card
These are perfect for use as an easily removeable and replaceable shell holder for attching to the side of a Mossberg 500 receiver. Just get a roll of 4ft x 2in industrial strength Velcro and attach an appropriately shaped section of the smooth (fabric) part of the Velcro to the left side of the shotgun's receiver. You now have an instant on/off Esstac Shotgun Card sidesaddle. Get a Triple M4 Mag pouch and you can use it to carry your loaded shotgun cards -just use a cut side of an empty shell box as a divider between shotgun cards to keep them from sticking together and easier to remove from the pouch. I love these cards. They may seem tight at first, but that's why I like them so much. Just insert your finger in the sleeve and enter the shell at an angle from the opposite side and they'll slide right in.

Shotgun Cards Made with Care
Upon receipt of the Shotgun Cards I ordered, after subduing my excitement and inspecting the product, I was pleased with the obvious hand-crafting of the product. The elastic loops are extremely tight (almost too tight) and I have kept some shells in them to help loosent them up a bit, but have confidence that my shells arent going anywhere due to recoil. On the flip side, this does make manipulation of the rounds a tad difficult, hence my atempt to loosen the loops. The seemingly insignificant feature of the paracord loop is extremely helpful in removing the card from the shotgun with positive control and minimal effort, allowing you to focus on the target during manipulation. I have not fired with the cards attached to the gun yet, but have no doubt that the velcro and elastic loops will not fail during oiperation. Excellent product from Esstac, excellent purchasing experience from SKD.
