help selecting shotshell caddy

[rugerp89ipsc]

I am trying to get to shoot some 3 guns and need some help getting set up with the right equipment. There have been a lot of advances since I shot my last 3 gun and was hoping someone could steer me to some websites. I am a LEO and want to use my duty belt and gear for competition to keep me well practiced and same some $$$.

Right now, for work, I carry the belt and chest rig in the following set up:

I have a 6 round side saddle and 7+1 in the tube, and 12 rounds on the chest rig. I figured with a 6 round shot shell caddy I would be pretty well set for ammo. I thought if I placed the caddy where the metal radio holder is

(between the flashlight and the OC spray),

I could off set some weight difference where the radio would typically hang and have 6 more rounds available, putting 32 shells on me.

The catch is that I can remove the radio clip, which I would do, without stripping my belt. I want a caddy that I can place in the radio clip's place without stripping my belt. Most of the pictures I have found online did not show the mounting hardware and just the caddy portion.

Does anyone know of a caddy that holds 6 rounds and does not require the belt to be looped through the caddy? I like the Mark Otto caddy, but have 0 experience with any and am not sure if that caddy would be viable.

$ is as always tight and I want to avoid some trial and error if I can. Thanks for any insight.

Marks will do exactly what you want and is a very classy piece....

Mark's 6 round caddy uses Teclock, which means it opens up and clamps around your belt, then locks down in place. No need to remove the rest of the equipment behind it to get it on or off.

+1 for the caddy's from Mark Otto. I love mine.

Awesome, thanks for all the fast replies guys, that is exactly what I was hoping to hear. Thank you very much. I am very excited about getting some matches under my belt again and even more excited about putting some more range time in with my work equip. I am still tossing around if I want to wear my vest or not. Since it isn't 110 here right now, I am leaning to a yes so that I don't have to readjust my chest rig, but I don't want to look like a tool either. . .

Thank you again for the fast response.
