Tactical Scorpion Gear TSG-SCR Sidesaddle Shotshell Carrier Remington 870 1100 11-87 12 Gauge Shotguns

The big screw is a huge pain, it's too tight. You have to strip the screw a bit and torque it in the whole time while making sure it doesn't get locked up on the trigger mechanism. Just kinda squeeze and jiggle along the way to make sure it goes in properly. Smaller screw, no problem, start with it. Instructions are a joke, the package is old and torn open. It's a 2 part item. The flat plate goes on first. Then there are 6 screws which put on the saddle to the plate. Very easy to accidentally put them in upside down. The saddle is tapered so be sure to orient it properly first. 5 Stars because it does work, it does install and function and the price is right. 1 star on the "Easy to install" rating due to the joke of instructions and frustration with the large screw. It's such a tiny amount too, like if the screw/bolt simply didn't have the paint on it, it might work better. Fix that, and put some decent instructions on the package and it's perfect.

I just installed this on my 870 shotgun. Installation was easy and straightforward. One very minor issue. This sidesaddle comes with two bolts. One is larger in diameter (for the rear) and the smaller diameter bolt is for the front. The larger rear bolt, fits into the hole with no issues. The smaller diameter bolt is a little tight. I would not try and pound this bolt into the hole as you would probably ruin the threads. I just screwed the bolt into the hole with the supplied allen wrench and it went in fine. Well made. Seems very sturdy and I am happy with this purchase. Would recommend.

Way less expensive than offers from competitors and more streamlined

It works great. My forend style bumped up against the shell holder. I used a dremel tool to notch the forend so the action would open all the way. It attached to the receiver perfectly and quickly. 4 stars since I had to mod the ‘shotty’

High quality. Works just right. I put this on a remington 870 Express, which has a larger forend. I had to cut a notch in the forend to make it fit right when opening the chamber. I think it's fine but be aware if you're doing to same.

No problem with the Hogue or Magpul forend; I have one on both my 870s. Solid build; not sure why anyone would pay more for other overpriced brands.

I looked at a number of sidesaddles, most costing far more than this one, and most don't work nearly as well. This does the trick just right and at a great price. Holds shells securely but not too securely. You can insert and remove shells quickly and without too much force. In an emergency situation that's extremely important. It's also fairly simple to install and once in place it won't go anywhere.

Wanted a budget side saddle for a budget gun. This thing does the job. Adjustable tension allen heads for holding rounds is a nice touch. Quick and easy instal, I recommend a threadlocker of some sort. Ses durable thus far.

Fit my 1100 but had to drill one hole a hair larger

Good quality fast shipping. Had to modify due to aftermarket accessories
