mitommy Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I have aa 2 round forend carrier from 3 Gun Gear. The elastic is sooooo tight I have a hard time getting the rounds in. And getting them out isn't any easier. As tight as it is, I really can't see using it at a match except as a last resort. I've put rounds in and let it sit for a week but I don't think it made a difference Has anyone else run into that? What can I do to loosen it up a bit.

LEGION53SHOOTER Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I've got the Mark Otto 2 round holder and when I first received it, I thought the same thing. I just pull the rounds from the elastic as if going into slide lock reload and put them back in a couple times every evening during nightly reloading practice and it seems to be becoming more manageable. I may be pulling that sucker off of there soon as I don't want ANYTHING getting in the way of my hand when "dropping dueces". It hasn't really seemed to be in the way too much during load2 but I see the possibility.....murphy's law and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suesstech Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I have both the 2 rounder and I believe 8 rounder side saddle with the same problem. I left shells in both between matches and nothing helped. I'm curious to see what others did to loosen them up as well. Right now they sit on a shelf.

wgj3 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I have the 2-pak and a 2x2 on 2 different guns. They hold the shells nice and snug, but I have no trouble snatching one out for emergency (slide lock) reloads. They have to stay tight/snug to keep the shells from falling out in recoil. Maybe a few bowls of wheaties are in order...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me when the adrenaline is running during a stage provided you have the shells slightly staggered to get a good finger grasp on the first one... pull straight back and they slip right out.

Jaxshooter Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Wet them and put the rounds in and let it dry. They will still be snug but the shells will come out easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
