What is the best side saddle for the 930 SPX?  I was looking at this one

I use Esstac shotgun card and Velcro on mine.



It has held up to a year of duty use so far.

I have the Mesa 6 shell carrier and I love it.

I heard some people were having issues with the screw tension being too tight or too loose which caused some failures?

Interesting concept, what type of velcro did you use/where did you get it?

To tight and the action will bind up. I put loctite on the screws and tighten them until they are flush with the receiver and stop.

/knocks on wood: no issues since.


I also have the Esstac cards on my Moss 500 and they work great.

I am using both kinds to see which overall and possibly swap the other out.

ETA the Velcro I use is industrial strength from Lowes. I mounted the velcro to a tacstar sidesaddle, the metal bracket.

This.







I like the ESSTAC cards but I want to try the HSGI cards.

I appreciate the input; I'm going to go with the velcro and cards.  I don't want to take chances with too tight or too loose screws.
