Description

The GG&G Remington 870 Side Saddle is a solid choice if you run a short-barrel tactical shotgun and need quick access to extra rounds. The design mounts to the receiver using steel trigger pin replacement bolts, so there's no gunsmithing required and no permanent modifications to your gun. The entire installation is straightforward enough that you can handle it yourself in minutes.

What Makes This GG&G Side Saddle Stand Out

The key feature here is the 15-degree angle that matches how your hand naturally reaches for rounds. This angled approach makes a real difference when you're loading quickly, whether you're feeding the magazine tube from below or topping off the chamber from above. The 6-round capacity gives you solid extra ammunition without eating up too much real estate on the receiver. This side saddle works with Remington 870, 1100, and 1187 12-gauge models, but it does require a short tactical-length foregrip for proper fitment.

Build Quality and Materials

GG&G manufactures this saddle from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and applies a Type III hard anodized finish per military specification. The backing plate won't mar your receiver's finish, and it's cut out so you can still view your serial number. The retention system uses durable, oil-resistant rubber components that hold rounds in place firmly without loosening over time. You can load shells base-up or base-down depending on your reloading style, and the rubber retention strips are replaceable if they ever wear out.

Installation and Compatibility

The saddle is described as easy to install as changing a car tire because all the hardware comes with it and everything bolts directly to your receiver using the trigger pin holes. Just remember that longer sporting-length foregrips will interfere with the saddle, so you'll need the short tactical version for this to work properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shotguns does the GG&G REM 870 side saddle fit?

This side saddle is compatible with Remington 870, 1100, and 1187 12-gauge models. However, it requires a short tactical-length foregrip for proper installation. Longer sporting-length foregrips will interfere with the saddle and need to be replaced before installation.

Does this side saddle require gunsmithing or modifications to my shotgun?

No modifications are required. The saddle mounts using provided steel trigger pin replacement bolts that bolt directly to your receiver. Installation takes just minutes and no special tools are needed.

Can I load shells both ways in this saddle?

Yes. The shells can be retained base-up or base-down depending on your reloading style and preference. This flexibility lets you set it up however works best for your technique when feeding the magazine tube or topping off the chamber.

What makes the GG&G retention system different from other side saddles?

Unlike some competitors that use hollow rubber tubes that distort from heat and pressure, GG&G uses a solid rubber retention system with a specified durometer rating. It holds its shape and maintains a tight grip on your shells for years without loosening, and the rubber components are replaceable if needed.
