Not a bandoleer. But this is good 25rd pouch.

Quoted:
I am looking for a bandoleer for my 12 gauge shotgun. It has to hold at least 25rds (1 box), and up to 50 at the most. I want something that is good quality and non-reflective. I would prefer leather, however all of the leather 12 gauge bandoleers I have seen thus far have shiny metal pieces on them. This will be used for hunting/hiking and if necessary, SHTF. If my only option is a synthetic material (nylon for instance), then I want something that is not a POS Chinese product. I have a Vickers tactical sling for my AR, and I want the quality to be at least as good as that. Any suggestions? I'm not sure you have thought all this through, and no offense intended. Most Mil SG users use panels on their vests that allow acces to SG shells as needed. entrygear has such, on sale. Most users, no matter where, use extension tubes and some form of side-saddle attachment also. Almost nobody uses sling-mounted shells, as that has a huge negative effect on aim. As far as bandoliers go, anything that leaves the least bit of the neon-colored SG shell exposed is not good camo, and forget the little shiny brass bits. Might not be a bad thing to think about shielding the SG shells from precip/ice, either. Almost all leather is now passe. Nice stuff, but few will buy excellent quality stuff to begin with, and fewer still will know how to maintain same. So forget leather. Heavy, absorbs water, and mostly junk, unless you pay dearly for good stuff.––and take real good care of it forever. Some SG users carry an over-the shoulder mag-dump pouch/bag with a flap over an elastic slit top. Can carry 50-rds easily. Looks a lot like this:http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/MOLLE326-1.html Fix it up wirh a waist/leg strap, and you are GTG. I have a pouch just like the one linked, mounted on my belt with a shoulder strap assist. I don't even know it's there, even with 50 rds, but is is easy to access and use. Secured, and doesn't flop around. Acessable in any shooting position. Keeps all the SG rounds dry, too. Might want to consider something like this, or the GI SG panels. |

Thanks for the replies guys!
I guess your right, leather is a bad choice lol. I guess I'm just partial to it  So I like the idea of the pouches and the 25rd suggestion looks to be closer to what I'm looking for. I want something with shell loops built into it so that I won't have loose ammo rolling around. The only issue I have with the 25rd pouch that is pictured is that it folds out a ways and I am looking for something that can be opened and closed easily with one hand. So it looks like maybe a basic covered belt would be a good idea. I like the one that is pictured, except that I have no need for the hand-warmer pockets. For me the simpler the better. Whatever type of carrying system I choose, I need it to hold at least 25rds. So I guess I need a 25rd covered ammo belt - any suggestions on this?  |

Based on the reviews on the Midway website, the belt can be slung over the shoulder and used like a bandoleer. How well does this work in your experience? |

Bandoleers suck. When you start removing shells, they get all off balance.

I dunno, but it works great as a belt, with the shells in front of you. |

I don't favor these belts/bandoliers because there is no snow/ice/precip protection for the shells. Not to mention the day-glo and bright brass portions of the shells don't exactly make for good camo.
That said, the thing apparently holds the shells tightly, whereas many such belts/bandoliers do not. It is certainly inexpensive enough to buy as an experiment, and apparently well-made enough to re-sell if one moves on to something different. |

Holding shells it works great, But you have no place to put the belt slack. |

Condor makes a MOLLE shotgun pouch which holds 12 rounds in elastic loops and has a cover which is secured by hook and loop. They sell for about $10 each. You can mount them on a vest, a MOLLE belt, or even on a regular belt, if you desire. They come in black, tan, green, ACU, and Multicam.
CheaperThanDirt carries them, although they list them as being made by ModGear. (That just means they got them from the same Chinese factory as Condor, and worked out a deal to use their own brand name. They're the same thing.) If you order from CTD, be advised that the website says they hold 10 rounds, but the pictures do show 12 rounds inside the pouch. Just another example of CTD being right on top of their game.

I think for the price, the belt is the way to go. I load up a couple of them every morning im out during dove season. wear one and put the other in my backpack. Just swap out when one get empty or reload when I get back to the truck.
