The TacStar SideSaddle is one of the few receiver-mounted shell carriers available for 20-gauge pump guns, filling a genuine gap in the market since most sidesaddles focus on 12-gauge models. This four-round carrier mounts directly to your Remington 870, 1100, or 1187 receiver, putting spare shells in an immediately accessible spot without the complications of hunting through ammo caches or cargo pockets during a string of fire.
Build and Installation
The carrier features a durable polymer shell holder bonded to a rigid aluminum backing plate. All mounting hardware is included, and installation is straightforward, taking just minutes without any special tools or gunsmithing. The design is shaped to provide clearance for longer forends, making it compatible with both standard and extended handguards. The four-round capacity keeps the profile compact, so it won't interfere with the pump action or create awkward balance problems that plague larger carriers. Unlike some competitors, this model is specifically engineered to work without modification on most Remington pump guns, though some field-grade forends may need slight trimming for perfect clearance.
Reliable Performance in the Field
Users consistently report that the shells stay firmly in place under recoil yet slide out smoothly when you need them. The polymer holder flexes enough to accommodate shells of slightly different dimensions without binding them. This balance between retention and ease of removal matters in real use, whether you're running trap, working on home defense skills, or hunting. Long-term feedback indicates the carrier handles repeated cycling well, though like most sidesaddles with threaded fasteners, checking screw tightness occasionally is just sensible maintenance.
Yes, the design specifically provides clearance for extended forends, though some field-grade forends that extend far back on the receiver may require a small amount of trimming. Most tactical forends and pistol-grip forends require no modification at all.
This model is designed for the Remington 870, 1100, and 1187. Other Remington models or different gauges require different TacStar products, so make sure you're ordering the right version for your gun.
The polymer holder grips shells firmly due to its design and flexion, and users report excellent retention during shooting. Standard practice is to periodically check the mounting screws for tightness, especially after shooting sessions, just like you would any other mounted accessory.
No. All hardware is included and installation takes just a few minutes. Most owners report handling the job without tools or professional help, following the included instructions.
