Description

The TacStar Slimline SideSaddle gives you six extra shells exactly where you need them without eating up real estate on your gun. Mount it straight to the receiver of your Remington 870, 1100, or 1187, and you've got backup rounds ready to go for faster reloads. This isn't the bulky original sidesaddle your buddy might have on his gun. TacStar redesigned this carrier from the ground up with a contoured profile that takes up less space and keeps snag points to a minimum.

What Makes the Slimline Design Different

The aluminum backing plate is anodized to resist corrosion and glare, and it's been shaped specifically to fit snug against your receiver without unnecessary protrusions. The shell carrier itself is made from flexible synthetic rubber that holds shells securely but still lets you grab them when you need them. Unlike heavier carriers that can shift around during recoil, this setup pairs the rigid aluminum base with the flex of the rubber carrier to keep everything in place.

Easy Install, No Gunsmithing Required

Installation uses the existing pin holes on your receiver, so no drilling or permanent modifications. Everything you need mounts right up in about as long as it takes to field strip your gun. All hardware is included, and once it's on, the low profile means it won't interfere with sighting or normal operation.

Real-World Ready

This carrier works for all 12-gauge shotgun loads, from birdshot to slugs. Tight forends on tactical models may require some work, but the standard pistol grip forend clears with no issues. The weather-resistant construction handles rough conditions, and the slim design keeps your gun feeling like your gun rather than a tacticool science project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shell lengths and types work with the TacStar Slimline SideSaddle?

This carrier holds standard 12-gauge shotgun shells in any load type, including 2.75-inch and 3-inch shells depending on your gun's chamber rating. You can load it with birdshot, buckshot, slugs, or any other 12-gauge ammunition. Just verify your Remington's chamber marking on the barrel to confirm your gun handles 2.75-inch or 3-inch rounds safely.

Do I need to modify my shotgun to install this?

No gunsmithing needed. The carrier mounts to your receiver using the existing trigger group pin holes and includes all required hardware. Most installations take just a few minutes. Shotguns with long wooden forends might require a small forend modification to clear the carrier during pump operation, but tactical models with short or pistol grip forends typically install without any alterations.

How does this compare to the original TacStar SideSaddle?

The Slimline version has a contoured aluminum backing plate that takes up less space on the receiver and has fewer areas to catch on gear or clothing. The shell carrier is also smaller overall, giving you a sleeker profile while still holding six rounds. The flexible rubber carrier provides the same secure grip, but the whole package adds less bulk to your shotgun.

Will this interfere with my shotgun's sights or operation?

The low-profile design is specifically engineered to stay out of the way. It won't interfere with bead sights, and the shell carrier itself sits close to the receiver. Some users note that very tight forends can contact the carrier when fully cycled, which is why checking clearance during installation matters for field-grade shotguns.
