Description
The Wilson Combat SideSaddle gives you instant access to six extra shells mounted right on your shotgun. Built from tough nylon polymer with a smooth black finish, this carrier keeps shells accessible while resisting snags and wear. The whole setup attaches via an aluminum mounting plate that bolts directly to the left side of your receiver without any cutting, drilling, or permanent changes.
Installation and Compatibility
This SideSaddle fits Remington 870, 1100, and 1187 pattern shotguns. Installation is straightforward with basic hand tools and takes just minutes. The aluminum backing plate provides rigid support while the smooth polymer shell holder keeps everything organized. You'll hold six 12-gauge shells ready for quick reloads when you need them most.
Why the Left-Side Mount Works
Positioning the carrier on the left side of the receiver puts shells within natural reach during the loading sequence. The design keeps the shells secure but doesn't make them difficult to grab in the moment. Combined with your shotgun's magazine tube capacity, you're looking at a solid amount of firepower on hand without adding bulk that gets in the way of your forend or shooting grip.
Real-World Performance
People who run this setup report that it holds shells firmly in place while staying easy to remove when it matters. The smooth finish and durable build mean it handles regular use and varied conditions without degrading. Whether you're running tactical drills, hunting, or training, having those extra rounds accessible right there on the gun makes a practical difference.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the SideSaddle interfere with my shotgun's forend or pump action?
No. The carrier sits on the left side of the receiver and is designed to clear modern shotgun forends including tactical variants. That said, very old field-grade shotguns with extended side panels might need minor modification. If you're running a standard tactical forend or most modern setups, you won't have any clearance issues.
How easy is the Wilson Combat SideSaddle to install?
Installation takes just a few minutes with basic hand tools like a hammer and punch or screwdriver. The aluminum backing plate bolts directly to the receiver with no gunsmithing or permanent modifications. All hardware comes included in the box.
Does this shell holder work with both 2 3/4 inch and 3 inch shells?
Yes. The polymer carrier accommodates both 2 3/4 inch and 3 inch 12-gauge shells without issue. The smooth interior keeps shells secure while remaining easy to extract when you need them.
Can I use this SideSaddle with a weapon-mounted light or optic?
The left-side mount position generally won't interfere with top-mounted optics or accessories. However, if you're running a flashlight foregrip directly under the receiver, check clearance first. The mounting plate itself is slim and sits alongside rather than blocking the receiver's top rail.
