Any experience with this recoil pad?

I'm looking to add a tiny bit of length on my Hogue 12" LOP stock, but i've also been contemplating keeping some rounds on the stock. I came across this and was wondering if anyone had any first hand experience with something like this. Please let me know your opinions.

Thanks
Kevin

Shell holders like this have lots of fans, but preclude easy operation from the support side. That's not that important on a sporting shotgun but a serious drawback on a weapon.

For adding a bit of length, a slip on pad may be a better option.

I'd recommend just getting a dedicated slip on recoil pad and finding some other way to store your ammo. Here's what I've been using for years -- it's the Pachmayr leather slip-on recoil pad:

I have two of these: one for a big shotgun and a smaller one I use when my boys and I share our CZ 452 Scout with its short 12" LOP stock.
