So I'm looking for a black padded sling with loops for a dozen or more 2 3/4" rounds. I can't seem to find anything out there. I can find a plane jane black padded sling, or a black 15rnd sling in straight nylon, but not both.

Any help? My zombie slaying 870 thanks you...

Don't know I haven't seen a padded one either but 12+rounds would be a lot of weight to be hanging from your shotgun. Seems to me like that would affect it's handling pretty bad. Have you though about a bandolier. This one holds up to 50 shells. That ought to feed your hungry 870 and keep all those zombies at bay.

They should call that the "el bandito sling".

My shell carrier and surefire have already ruined the handling so I'm not worried about it...thats OK though because rule #1 is cardio which I have in droves (Zombieland joke).

+1 that's what I pictured in my head too.

OK TwoNiner found one for you. 2in padded sling holds 12 shells. Here the link.

I'm not a fan of the slings that hold shells. The essentially create a pendulum that swings from the gun and throws off the handling and making shooting much more difficult. The effect is rather different than what a side saddle or a surefire fore grip could create. I understand the impetus to have more rounds on the gun so to speak but I believe the drawbacks outweigh the advantages in this case.

Thanks hub, I just bought that sling. Shipping was almost just as much as the sling cost though :P

I'll report back on the quality of the sling and first impressions when it arrives. Now I just need to find a good deal on an M&P9....
