TacStar 4-Shot SideSaddle Shotshell Carrier for 12 ga Rem 870

The TacStar 4-Shot SideSaddle Shotshell Carrier for 12 ga Rem 870 is a field-proven accessory designed for tactical operators, hunters, and law enforcement personnel who demand rapid shotgun reloads without compromising weapon handling. This side-mounted carrier provides quick access to four additional rounds, extending your operational capacity during high-stress scenarios where every second counts. Whether deployed in dynamic entry operations or hunting applications requiring extended payload, the TacStar addresses a fundamental operational need: keeping backup ammunition immediately accessible without requiring tactical reloading positions or cargo manipulation.

The TacStar's design mounts directly to the receiver side of your Remington 870 with zero modification to the firearm itself—a critical advantage in duty weapons and borrowed platforms. The carrier utilizes a secure elastic or retention band system that holds four 12-gauge shells firmly in place while maintaining one-handed accessibility. Engineered with clearance for longer forends and tactical accessories, the mounting geometry prevents interference with pump action cycling and maintains the 870's natural ergonomic profile. At just 0.48 pounds, the weight penalty is negligible, making it ideal for patrol shotguns, breaching platforms, and hunting rigs where every ounce matters during extended operations.

Law enforcement agencies and tactical teams running Remington 870 platforms find the TacStar invaluable for expanding combat load without adding bulk or requiring secondary ammunition carriers. Hunters appreciate the unobstructed access during fast-moving situations where traditional bandoliers or shell boxes prove cumbersome. Installation is straightforward, requiring only basic mechanical knowledge and standard tools—no gunsmithing expertise necessary. The compact profile (3.45" x 2" x 8.7") ensures the carrier remains unobtrusive during storage or transport while maintaining instant ammunition readiness in the field.
