Whats out there besides the Taccom and Invictus Chest Caddy's? Currently running a Taccom 20up but its not holding up that well, A few broken parts I had to make it into a 16 shell caddy, and some hollow promises from taccom saying they were sending me replacement parts.

The Invictus one looks good but its 15" wide regardless if its the 24 or 32 shell caddy, That's 4" wider than the Taccom and my chest isn't that large.

So my question is: Is there one I am missing? Must be set up for pulling quads not doubles.

Thanks guys.

It will be a while before I use it in a match but it did arrive from Finland a couple of days ago.
Took less than 2 weeks from order date.

At first glance it appears to be a bit over complicated but once you start playing with it you realize it is a pretty well though out design.
I mounted it to a plain chest rig for now. I think maybe a weight lifting type belt would be better and cleaner but I am not sure how that will work with my beer gut....

It is really easy to load, holds the shells very securely and the release is very easy and clean.
I can shake the thing as hard as I can and the shells do not come off but the release is very easy.
I can grab 2 or 4 very easily (although I can't load 4 so that is pointless for me...).
It's really nice and well made. I think it is going to work great.

Will it improve my scores? I doubt it. But I like cool gear and this thing is extremely cool as far as I am concerned.
And my Ali Express rig needed an update.

If there is anything negative so far it would be that the "curve" of the thing is a bit too much much for me, I would like it to be a little less of a curve .... but they probably didn't design it for fat guys....

If you have shells with actual brass basses (Winchester AA), the magnets do not stick but it still does hold the shells in pretty good. Probably good enough for anything I would be doing.

It adjusts automatically to different length shells (like the slugs pictured) which works great.

I think it will hold up just fine, it does come with a few spare parts.

So far, pretty impressed.

Great looking rig. Have heard King Competition are the best shell caddies availble and serious shotgunners that use them lov’em. Expensive, but guess if I hadn’t already invested in my invictus and carbon arms carriers I may have given it a serious look based on the buy once cry once justification.

Understand guys that use them tend to fasten them to a wide neoprene type belt with I believe heavy duty velcro to fasten belt at rear. Neoprene conforms to body shape and belt can be adjusted up or down on waist or torso which means it’ll work in IPSC or 3 gun. You can also easily pull neoprene belt to side or rear if you have to go prone or crawl through a tunnel or get in some awkward position. If I spent this kind of money on this caddy i’d want the most comfortable versatile belt system for it as well.

Can we see a picture of the back side of that King caddy? Looking at that with this talk of a nice torso belt system is making me ponder.

Take a look at the videos. If you still need a picture I can take it off and take some.
The second one shows how to use the bolts on the back to attach to stuff. The bolts are what I used to attached it to molle speed clips.
It also comes with enough stick velcro to cover the back so I guess that is another option.

Like I said, a torso belt would probably work very well for most people and I am going to look at that option if I can find a belt I like.

$530 is a pile of cash for a shotgun caddy chest rigs!

Anyone found something a bit more for a dude on a Pilsner budget?

Seen some guys utilize belt caddies on a chest rig that seemed to work quite well at a match. Never had a chance to check it out.
