Mesa Tactical SureShell Polymer Carrier for Mossberg 500/590 and Maverick 88 (6-Shell, 12-GA)
Fits:
- Mossberg 500
- Mossberg 590
- Mossberg 590A1
- Maverick 88
The SureShell Polymer Carrier system is available in a six-shell configuration and features shell holders made of glass-filled polymer that are securely attached to the receiver with a lightweight aluminum back plate and brass threaded inserts. This new system also includes a dual rubber friction system for holding shotshells in place.
The saddle rails are made of aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum and feature Picatinny rails that are machined to mil-spec standards, resulting in a durable, non-glare matte finish. The basic saddle rail design allows for easy mounting of optical sights, while a second version includes an additional Mesa Tactical six-shell SureShell polymer shotshell carrier on the left side of the receiver. Both versions meet MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny specifications and can be installed without any gunsmithing. These saddle rails provide an ideal solution for adding optical sights and SureShell shotshell carriers to Remington shotguns equipped with Mesa Tactical's LEO telescoping stock and pistol grip system.
The main difference between different models of SureShell carriers is the aluminum back plate, which is designed to mount the carrier assembly on specific shotgun models. Side-mount SureShell shotshell carriers for Mossberg, Remington, and Benelli M1 shotguns use the trigger group pin holes for secure attachment, while Benelli M2 Tactical, Benelli M4/M1014, Benelli SuperNova Tactical, and some Mossberg 500/590 versions utilize the factory-tapped rail mounting holes and include integrated Picatinny optics mounting rails. Another option is the saddle-mount design with an integrated rail for Remington shotguns.

Customer Ratings & Reviews
Mossberg Shell Carrier
Awsome product and service
Mesa Tactical Shotgun Side Saddles
I was introduced to Mesa Tactical by a highly reputable gun reviewer who put his shotguns to the test. He said, "Try this brand - it's used by many law enforcement agencies." I haven't had the chance to use it in combat (and I hope I never will), but it seems to be a reliable product. Cleaning my shotgun will take a bit more time as the screws replace the trigger group pins and need to be unscrewed, but it's always best to clean your gun in a relaxed state and not under duress. According to Mossberg, the shotgun can handle 500 rounds before needing maintenance, which is a significant amount for a tactical shotgun. The carrier holds the shells tightly and may become even more secure with use. The instructions advise against storing shells in the carrier, but replacing the internal rubber strips is a simple process if necessary. Whether your shotgun is your primary defense or not, consider Mesa Tactical as it should serve you well. My only suggestion would be for the front button screw (through the extractor of the Mossberg 500 series) to have more grip for the button as it seems marginal at the moment, but it has held up well so far.
Quality, Easy Install, Minimalist side saddle for mossberg 500
I recently acquired the Mesa Tactical 12G SureShell Polymer Carrier designed for the Mossberg 500 and was pleasantly surprised to find that it comes with an aluminum back plate instead of plastic. The package includes comprehensive instructions and all necessary components for installation, except for blue loctite and a medium-sized screwdriver. It even includes two hex wrenches, an extra chicago screw, and a cool sticker. Proudly made in the USA! The installation process was straightforward and took about 10 minutes, even though I was taking my time and being careful. I replaced the ejector screw and trigger group pin with a rubber gasket between the saddle and the receiver. I haven't had the chance to use it yet, but I don't anticipate any issues. Additionally, the package includes two additional pieces to adjust the grip of the shell holder on the shells. I appreciate the tension offered by the one that came pre-installed.
Probably the Best Mossberg Side Saddle
Very good mossberg 500 side saddles Good balance of snug fit and ease of removal for the shells. The inserts that hold the shells in place will get less snug if they're in there for extended periods but will spring back quickly. The polymer construction is basically bulletproof and probably the better option compared to aluminum. If you're running a shotgun for defensive use, you're going to use what's on the gun and this side saddle gives you that. Mesa makes the best Mossberg 500 Accessories
Great Product!
An excellent addition to my 590A1. I would highly recommend this for yours aswell!
Best Side Saddle for Mossberg 500
I bought this carrier for an Mossberg 500home defense gun. It was easy to install and fits well. Read the instructions carefully, but only everyday workbench tools were needed. It holds exceptionally tight to the shotshells at first - which is a good thing!
Solid product!
I mounted this on a Mossberg 590A1 in very little time. The directions that come with it are nearly useless, but found a very short and simple YouTube video that explained it. The shells are held pretty tight initially, so you have to pull fairly hard to get them out (as opposed to what I would expect from an elastic type carrier). I suspect will loosen a bit over time. The quality and fit/finish are excellent.
Best side saddle for Mossberg 590a1
The instructions were very straight forward. Easy install on my Mossberg 590a1. Mesa makes the best quality shotgun parts and accessories on the market. Hands down.
Side Saddle for Maverick 88
I received this Mossberg maverick 88 side saddle sooner than expected, and the quality is amazing. Thanks!
A Perfect Mossberg 590A1 side saddle
Perfect fit for my Mossberg 590A1. Installation was fast and simple. I'm guessing it took no more than ten minutes to install.
Maverick 88 side saddle fit perfectly
Excellent product. Perfect fit on my Maverick 88 . Perfect shell retention!
maverick 88 side saddle
A tremendous addition to any tactical shotgun. The elastomer retention system is rock solid and worries free. I've put these on Mossberg and Remingtons. Installation is easy, and the results are impressive.
