Featuring a contoured anodized aluminum backing plate for a low-profile, snag-free fit, and a durable, weather-resistant synthetic rubber shell carrier, it offers secure retention and quick reload access. Lightweight and easy to install with minimal hardware, this sidesaddle combines tactical functionality with sleek design, making it a must-have upgrade for serious shooters. ## Description Our sidesaddle line has gained a large following because of their convenient placement of shells right where you need them for a fast reload. We have now taken the sidesaddle to the next level with our Slim line version. The sidesaddle utilizes a non-glare, anodized aluminum backing plate material as our traditional sidesaddle; however we have contoured the plate so that it takes up less space on the receiver and has fewer areas that could potential snag. Additionally we have changed the shell carrier itself to our proprietary flexible synthetic rubber material, which offers durability and weather resistance as well as secure shell retention. Like the backing plate, the shell carrier also is smaller is size than our traditional sidesaddle, adding to its sleek appearance.12 gauge only. Review: Great side saddle for Mossberg 500 Standoff - This fits my Mossberg 500 Standoff really well and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the side saddle. I owned another side saddle from a previous build that was a plate secured to the Mossberg 500 with the trigger assembly and bolt guide screw like this one. The major difference was that the saddle part was attached to the plate with 6 tiny screws. Anytime you would need to take it apart, you had 8 screws to deal with. This attaches with just the trigger assembly screw (basically 2 halves that screw into each other) and the bolt guide screw (which secures the saddle with a small nut tightened on the screw). The fully assembled saddle looks great and feels very solid. Definitely worth the purchase price. Review: Nice product but limits some things on my Shockwave - Well made slimline 6 shell holder. Fits Mossberg 590 Shockwave with no mods. Only problem is cannot use Voodoo Scabbard with any shell holders attached. Also a distraction for me when holding shotgun. Just something with potential to snag on something in a pinch. Prefer clean sides on shotgun for left or right hold. Great product but I am sticking with my Voodoo Breacher Scabbard which has a 4 shell holder on it. Also attached a 25 round 12GA ammo pouch to Molle straps on Scabbarad. This setup gives me 5 in the Shockwave + 29 slugs on the Scabbard. Much better storing that way for when needed. The SideSaddle would limit me to 5 in the shotgun + 6 for a total of 11, and cannot use a Scabbard. When compared to without SideSaddle for a total of 29 available rounds compared to 11. The Shockwave is better off without ad-ons. I did change out the safety to a ProMag, Talon Grip and the snap on the barrel fiber optic sight. ## Features - Fits Mossberg 500/590/Maverick 88 - Durable, flexible synthetic rubber shell carrier ensures secure shell retention. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01A3PO5WU | | Best Sellers Rank | #62,507 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #180 in Hunting & Shooting Gun Stock Accessories | | Brand | TacStar | | Brand Name | TacStar | | Closure Type | Open Top | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,037 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00751103012109 | | Included Components | gun-ammunition-and-magazine-pouches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 8"L x 7.5"W x 2.5"H | | Item Type Name | Tac-Star Slimline SideSaddle Shell Holder Mossberg 500/590 | | Item Weight | 8.16 ounces | | Manufacturer | Lyman Products | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1081210 | | Model Number | 1081210 | | Number Of Pockets | 1 | | Number of Compartments | 1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Pocket Description | Slip Pocket | | Product Dimensions | 8"L x 7.5"W x 2.5"H | | UPC | 751103012109 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TacStar - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 8.16 ounces - **Number Of Pockets:** 1 - **Product Dimensions:** 8"L x 7.5"W x 2.5"H ## Images ![TacStar Slimline Sidesaddle Shell Holder - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51NSvomBxDL.jpg) ![TacStar Slimline Sidesaddle Shell Holder - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ZVB5+p9YL.jpg) ![TacStar Slimline Sidesaddle Shell Holder - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kdt4yuXHL.jpg) ![TacStar Slimline Sidesaddle Shell Holder - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41o4PClL0eL.jpg) ![TacStar Slimline Sidesaddle Shell Holder - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31HYjlG86vL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this include all required hardware?** A: Yes but if I would have installed it the grip on the pump would have hit the shell holder and wouldn’t reload. My grip was bigger from a full sized moss berg 500 if it was a pistol grip pump it probably would have worked because it has a slimmer front grip. I would just check to see how far the front grip comes back when u cock it back all the way.. if it covers any of the chamber it probably won’t work but it’s not that easy to install either. I ended up buying a shoulder strap that holds ou to 30 shells **Q: **Does this fit the Remington 870 Tac-14?** A: There is a model made for the Remington 870 that will fit the Tac 14. **Q: Can this be mounted on the Mossberg 12g Shockwave with the crimson trace laser saddle? The housing pin screw would need to match, but can't tell.** A: No, you need to order the one for the Mossberg 500. It should fit the shockwave. **Q: Does this one look just like the picture and has no universal backplate? Made specifically to line up with the 2 pins on the receiver of the rem 870.** A: Yes this one will work with the rem 870 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great side saddle for Mossberg 500 Standoff *by K***T on June 5, 2026* This fits my Mossberg 500 Standoff really well and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the side saddle.

The only down side is the rear screw needs to come out to disassemble and clean. Holds shells firmly in either orientation. ## Frequently Bought Together - TacStar Slimline Sidesaddle Shell Holder - Pachmayr 05103 Tactical Grip Glove for Moss Shockwave & Rem Tac 14, Black - NDZ Performance Safety Replacement Kit for Mossberg 500 590 88 835 940 12/20 Aluminum - Ball & Steel Plate Complete Kit - Choose Color & Kit --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/37351336-tacstar-slimline-sidesaddle-shell-holder](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/37351336-tacstar-slimline-sidesaddle-shell-holder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-10-15*
