Need new shell holder

[copaup]

My dept issues 14 inch 870 shotguns for patrol. Given the 4 round capacity, and the fact that I am also qualified to carry slugs for the shotgun, I usually carry an additional 9 rounds of ammo on a sling I attatch to the gun at the beginning of my shift. This has worked well for me up until now. Now however, we have a more tactically minded range staff that are putting slings on all the shotguns in the field. Normally I would say this is good, but they are permanantly attatching the slings to the shotgun, making it impossible for me to use my groovy ammo sling, thus killing the "Pancho Villa starter kit" that I was so proud of. This setup also precludes me from going back to my old slip on shell holder that went on the stock, as I cant remove the sling to put it on. I suppose I could remove the barrell and slip it on, but that would be a real pain in the rear every day. Does anyone make a shell carrier that straps onto the buttstock? Side saddle wont work due to the mounting brackets in the car. Suggestions anyone? I like to carry extra ammo on the gun in case of zombie infestation. Even more so now that they have taken away our oh so cool cargo pants. Don't laugh about the zombies either. Some of the neighborhoods I patrol look remarkably like Dawn of the Dead in the wee hours of the morning. MMMmmmmm crack.....

CQB solutions at http://www.cqbsolutions.com puts out a rather nice buttcuff, with a strap that wrongs across the butt. I use one on My 870, and it keeps the buttcuff from sliding around. The holder holds 6 shells, dont know if this will work for you or not.

I don't know of any that come this way out of the box.

However, you could take your old slip on shell holder, cut a line down the middle, and add a zipper or add velcro. If you aren't a sewing sort, a tailor can do it for you, but since it doesn't have to be pretty I'm sure I could manage sewing it together pretty good. You could also just use the adhesive backed velcro you can get at a walmart sewing section, but if my life was counting on it I'd sew things on there pretty good and probably would use a lower profile zipper over velcro.

copaup-

I use Tactical Tailor's buttstock shell holder when my trap gun finds its way into practical competition. Easy on/off, nicely made, and holds one more round than the CQB offering :
