I purchased these shotgun cards because they are very well priced and highly rated. I plan to use them with my home defense/tactical shotgun setup. I haven’t configured the shotgun or taken them to the range yet, but I’ll update when I do.
Pros:
-Great value
-Seem well made
-Rounds sit straight across
-Holds rounds tightly
Cons:
-Time will tell when it comes to durability.
-Soft backer.
-Off brand adhesive velcro
-Doesn’t come in many patterns/colors
I loaded the card up and gave it a good shake to test the elastic. It seems to hold really well. The only way I could get rounds out was to hold it rounds down and quickly swing it downward in a chopping motion. I feel confident these will hold rounds, up or down, no problem on a shotgun.
Another review showed the card sitting curved once loaded. Mine sits straights. I just bent it back and forth a bit after I loaded it and the material loosened up and it straightened out.
I don’t know yet if the lack of a stiff backer (such as found on Esstac cards) will be a problem. The backer is two layers of nylon and one of velcro and it bends and conforms to the shape of the shells, creating a ridged surface. That seems like it would reduce surface area of velcro that’s able to attach to the shotgun, which would mean less holding power. I doubt that will make a real difference, but I’ll report back once I hit the range.
Just buy the 2” industrial 3M velcro to be safe. Also be sure to use something to clean/degrease the gun before you stick it on (such as alcohol). I’m not going to ding any stars for that.
I have some Esstac cards on the way, so I’ll report back with some comparisons. You get 6 of these cards for less than the price of one Esstac card, which is outstanding.
Edit to add: I just received the Esstac cards. I’ve added comparison photos. The Esstac cards are coyote color. The differences:
-Esstac has a hard backer that keeps the velcro straight/flat. It does bend a bit, giving the card a slight curve. But it ought to flatten out when you attack it to something.
-The Esstac cards are about 3/8” longer than these cards.
-The Esstac cards appear to use thicker (probably better) nylon and thicker thread.
-The Esstac cards are VERY tight. It’s not easy to load them like it is the other cards. The shells will definitely not fall out. I wonder if that means they will last longer than the other cards, but only time will tell.
-The Esstac card has a paracord loop as the pull.

Product Description
Made from the military webbing, detachable shotshell carrier for shotguns designed for when traditional aluminum or plastic shot shell holders are not available.
The side saddle is an elastic side saddle that are easy to attach and remove, and you can even ‘reload’ your side saddle.
Very easily attach or removed on MOLLE/PALS panels, tactical vests and tactical bags.
These are elastic loops on a stiff backing. Because they stretch, they accommodate every round you have put through it and keep them in place.
A total of 6 sets are included, some of are ready for use and the rest can be used as a spare.
A sidesaddle is a convenient accessory for you, because it gives you the ability to carry more.
The side saddle works very well. Nice for competition, training, and hunting.

Let me start this review by saying that for the price, these are not bad. They will work and I think they will provide some longevity if you decide to purchase these. The problem with me is that I actually have some Esstac shotgun cards to compare these to and I was expecting these to be at least close to them and they, unfortunately, are not. Let me be clear though: the problem here is not these cards, it was my expectation.
First off, while the material they are made of seems solid, the backing on the part where the shells are inserted is VERY flimsy. Like, so flimsy that when you bend it you can actually hear it - it sounds like a very thin and weak piece of cardboard being bent. Also, when the shells are inserted, the card itself bows very badly because that weak piece of cardboard backing cannot resist the pressure of 7 shells. The Esstac cards do not have this problem (see my pics).
The second issue I have is that the separate Velcro backing piece is also very thin. I'm not sure it would stay on your shotgun after repeated attempts pulling it off. I think you would be better off buying the Velcro backing separately from Velcro itself.
Other than that, I think the cards are workable. The material that actually holds the shells seemed very workable and tight - I felt enough resistance to give me the feeling that these would hold the shells in when firing the shotgun.
So let me be clear again: I was expecting something a bit better than this, but for those of you that are really budget minded I think these might be fine. However, for the price of almost one Esstac you get six of these so although these did not meet my expectations, they may meet yours.
