12 GA Shell Holder

thingiverse

As I printed many of the shell holder models on thingiverse and none of them really firmly holded 12 ga shells, I decided to model one my self. This is a 12 GA 5 Shell holder / sidesaddle. When printed with proper ABS and correct slicer settings, it holds shells securely while you can snap them in and out relatively easily. If you fix it to your shotgun with proper double sided foam or silicon tape or even proper Velcro it should stay there. I'm using a similar commercial made side saddle fixed by a double sided foam tape for some time now and never had a problem. As on hunting or on a self defense situation, reliability of a side saddle can be a very important subject please print-try and if you are sure with the reliability of your print only then use it depending on your own decision.
