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."

Muliticam color is printed Mil Spec Elastic.

Great piece of gear, with a little Velcro it becomes a perfect saddle. I have one on all of my shotguns.

Esstac shotgun card
Shotguns are by their nature 'ammunition deficient'. Various attempts have been made to provide for additional shells with varying success. I saw the Esstac in use at a Tactical Shotgun course at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute and was favorably impressed. My one kvetch is that it was not clear that the 'loop' material was not provided and they didn't say that. This is not a great problem in that it is available at most hardware stores. Be sure to get the 'industrial strength adhesive.

Great shell holder!
These are light. They hold the shells very tight and can be stripped off easily. They will not move while shooting. It's a plus that they fit in AR15 mag pouches while loaded with shells.

The best option
These make more sense than anything else out there. Slap some velcro on the side of your shotty and load up on some Esstac Shotgun Cards. Simply the fastest way to reload a pump or semi auto 12GA shotgun.

Better than expected
for 15.00 I thought these cards where going to be a little cheaply made. But at first inspection, I found them to be well made with double stiching and a stiff backing. I got 2 one for my 930 SPX and one for my 590A1 SPX, they fit the receivers well, I will be buying more in the future.

Best product in this category
First off, awesome job by SKD shipping these VERY quickly. These Esstac cards are sewn, reinforced, and designed better than any of the similar competition's products that I've used. They are outstanding. Esstac, as a company, has fantastic email communication. I emailed John directly when SKD was out of stock and had a response within 2 hours letting me know they would be to SKD in 3 days. Also, if that wasn't soon enough for my needs I could order direct and they would have them on a truck by tomorrow. SKD has treated me well so I was happy to wait a couple days.

Found a Niche!
Great product recommendation from forums and Youtube. Horrible Customer Service in refusing to stock items on web store but more specifically refusing to inform when they will be in stock. BTW, this was a problem before Sandy Hook, not a result of. Product arrived and is awesome.
