💬 FAQs – Shotgun Shell Holders
Q: Do these work with 20-gauge shells?
A: Many of our holders are gauge-specific. Use filters to find 20-gauge-compatible options from Mesa Tactical and others.
Q: Can I mount a shell holder on both sides of my shotgun?
A: Most shotguns allow only one receiver-side mount, but some rail-mounted holders can be positioned on either side using adapters.
Q: Are shotgun slings with shell loops secure under recoil?
A: Yes. Brands like CETACEA use elastic retention and durable stitching to hold shells firmly in place even during dynamic movement.
