Blackhawk! BH SHTGN Bandolier (55) BLK

I bought a cheaper version of this and returned it. The quality of the Blackhawk is awesome. The old saying is so true. “Buy Cheap, Buy Twice”

It is a perfect bandolier, especially for first time bandolier holders who can't afford a leather one.This nylon (I think) bandolier serves exactly its' depicted function. It holds the exact number of rounds and is solidly built. No bad stitchwork or loose elastic.Something you should know that they don't show is that there is something I call a "handle" with this particular model. There is a hard square of meeting ends with a Blackhawk! patch that meets at the center of the bend. Now at first, it's a little bit confusing in exactly what way you use this but the practical solution I have found is when you use one side of your bandolier (27, 28 shells appropriately) you can grip your shoulder and roll it over to the other side.This can also be used to flip between to kinds of rounds. On one side, I usually keep some bird hunting shells and on the other some actual hunting buck. This, even though it seems childish, allows me to make sure the side I am using is only one of two options.Pros:Solidly built. Good elastic, good stitching & smooth moving over most types of material.Open-ended elastic without bandolier caps. I have seen some models of bandolier with little "rests" on the presumed bottom of a loop. I have an idea as to why that's a thing, but I don't need to worry about it with this model.Carry any size of shell. From standard to magnum. No issue.Cons:None that I can currently comment on

You don't have to worry about loosing your 12ga shotgun shells. They fit very snug and won't just fall out. It's actually kind of hard to get them out using 1 hand. Seems well made but not for a large frame person. Not adjustable and it fits me pretty good with a 46 inch chest size but larger people may not want this particular bandolier.

I have some other belts and bandoliers but this one is heads above in quality. The material is tight weave and just the right thickness. The loops are great for 12Ga and 20Ga but not made for .410 in my opinion (get a large rife bandolier for that). The loop material HOLDS but not so tight that the shells don't come out with reasonable force and also not so tight that it is hard to load with 12Ga. 10Ga may be a bit big but I didn't have any laying around to actually test them. On a personal note, it is just a bit short for my preference against zombies. But then again I am a bit large for my preference. It is definitely not uncomfortable but I could have fit another 10-15 shells for the zombie invasion quite nicely in a longer one. I would not hesitate to buy another, and another. Happy and safe shooting. RB.

Picked this up for range and sport shooting purposes. The bandoleer is designed well with a teardrop shape to rest against the wearers torso for a secure fit even while moving. The individual shotshell holdersare well made and securely hold 2 1/2 and 3 inch shotshells. The strong elastic material Holding the shells makes extraction of shells easier without having to rely upon visual ques. Just feel for the shell to remove. Highly reccomend this bandoleer for any sport shooter or enthusiast prepping for SHTF.

First bandoleer. Literally just opened the box and loaded up some birdshot in it. Feels heavy duty. My dad bod is 5'12 at around 170 lbs and it fits just right. Loose enough to throw two on and maybe a vest? Can shrimp, monkey hop or low crawl and these shells ain't coming out. Very happy :)

It works great with 12ga, it is a bit snug on me but I'm not average sized (6,6", 280lbs). I have it next to my mossberg 500 for home defense, toss it on and you've got a buttload of firepower should you need it. I bought it for 19$, super worth it. 10/10

I just got this bandolier, loaded it up with shells, and went shooting. It holds a max of 55 shells. The loops are tight elastic and no shells were lost while I was wearing it. The bandolier runs a little small (I'm 5'10" 180 lbs and very athletic) and unless you tie the end that hangs down by your hip to your leg it will tend to shift around as you take shells out of it. But for the price it is the best thing out there. A leather bandolier like this would run $150 or more. Plus it looks cool on.
