BigLucky Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I am sure I missed it in another thread but I am looking for a solution for holding extra shot shells on my belt. I have seen people with a "trough" of sort, and it looked like it would work, but I can't find where you would buy them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

HRider Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 You can also get Man Mountain four shell caddies from Chris at CPWSA.com. He is a forum dealer, and a great guy to do business with. Hurley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Tischauser Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 (edited) You might want to get some Velcro to go with them. I put the soft side of the Velcro on the inside on the caddies facing out so that the shells are a little bit more snug in the caddy. The shells normally stay put without Velcro but I've seen a few go flying during full speed running or jumping. If your running the CR speed or double alpha belt use the hard side of the Velcro on the back side of the belt loops.

If your running the CR speed or double alpha belt use the hard side of the Velcro on the back side of the belt loops. Don't forget that they can be used to hold AR mags (magpul steel, etc) as well. Working with the soft velcro on the inside also allows you to exchange shells for a mag depending on the stage requirements. +1 on using velcro on the belt side of the carriers as well, lets you get extra-sticky to hold the weight of the belt on your waistline!

esskay Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 You can also get Man Mountain four shell caddies from Chris at CPWSA.com. He is a forum dealer, and a great guy to do business with. Hurley I got some of these Man Mountain caddies, and they are slick as snot! (more expensive than the CCWs but work better for me) Click! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00bullitt Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I've had some Choates and then California Competition Works, then tried the Progrssive Machine&Tool(now Progressive Arms), and now I have the Man Mountain Engineering caddies and they are the best caddies I have used yet. They are lighter and more compact than any of the others mentioned. I can get 7 on my belt when I could only get 6 of the others. They are secure and fast also. MME gets my vote.

Justin Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Ok, this might be a stupid question, but here goes anyway. How hard would it be to adapt the Man Mountain shell holders to use TekLok instead of the belt loops that come on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfly Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 You will need an 10x32x3/8 screw's a drill bit and a tap take off the old belt loops and place your teklok on and mark the holes you want drill then tap use some lock tight your are done. that will be $0.00 for that Thank You Ok, this might be a stupid question, but here goes anyway.How hard would it be to adapt the Man Mountain shell holders to use TekLok instead of the belt loops that come on them?

ninemmbill Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I'm still using the Choate 6 rounders as they have always worked. But some of the newer designs look good. It would be nice to have an easy on/off option like a Tek lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokshwn Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 If you already have some CCW or Choates it is relatively simple to retrofit them with teklok belt clips. They are available from Bladetech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How hard would it be to adapt the Man Mountain shell holders to use TekLok instead of the belt loops that come on them? I like Tekloks, however one of the advantages of the slim Man Mtn loops are that they do not block much of the Velcro on CR Speed type belt systems. This is a benefit when you have 5 or 6 shotshell carriers all in a row on your belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeFoley Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 If you want the nices thing on the planet, with a teklok, the Progressive Machine is the best in my opinion. Fully adjustable, and proven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HPD SRT Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 All this being said, does anyone actually use the 6 rounders? I have CCW's and got two six rounders when I started out and found them to be more of a hassle than helpful. And I have huge alien hands. Those MME's look really nice, but $50 a pop? Ouch...

HS101 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I use 4 of the 6 round holders (with the requisite velcro on the back). My hands are in the medium range, and find it comfortable (and controllable) to grab 3 shells at a time. If I grab 4, 1 or 2 seem to fly out of my hands . Never good to leave your ammo on the ground!

kurtm Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 No top 3-gunner that I know of uses a 6 round holder, and all of them use only a double belt with velcro, and I haven't seen a one without Tech-Locs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you there. I've got short hands and have tried four many, many times. I can land it about once every 30-40 times. So I stick to the 6 rounders and grab 3 at a time.

But nobody has ever heard of me (or can say my last name) so it doesn't matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
