Side saddle questions

[P0WERWAGON]

i've seen the cloth loop ones, the plastic ones and the aluminium ones. which is the better of the bunch?

where is the best place to get them?

out of the lot...the Mesa Tactical Aluminum ones are very nice and seem a little more refined than others. The next best is the Tacstar Sidesaddle. It would appear to be the most common by far and best bang for the buck probably.

couple of catches though. When you get it, take the screws out that mount the plastic shell holders to the aluminum back plate then replace them with low hold Loctite. They do work loose with recoil over time and the screws are a pain to look for.

the other catch is that if you take the thing off a lot to clean then you will eventually wear out the threads on the mounting plate. Tacstar warranties these though.

I have a TacStar on my Win 2200. Works great and looks cool too!

I don't know what one is better, but I have a TacStar also and it works fine. Holds the shells upside down securely for those quick reloads.

The tacstar system works very well

ok another vote for tacstar. I only wish that they weren't fully threaded screws. I would prefer to have the thread on the end only to more closely duplicate the original pins (870 model).

Replace the rear screw with the same button head screw with one that extends an eighth to a quarter inch longer and secure it with a narrow jam nut. Never fall off.
