Shooter115 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 All this talk about who came up with what has got me wondering WHO came up with the first stacked shell holder? (Oh I already know, but I wonder if all you guys do!) I gotta tell ya all of them look very similer, even to the orriginal ones I saw. I will give you all a hint....it wasn't an American that first did this, and he could gripe here about ALL these copy cats. Chest rigs you say? first one I saw was in 2003 in Italy, and that had been in use for over 5 years. We can all waist time pointing fingers but things tend to develope in parallel, and of course they all are going to look alike....theres only so many ways you can make a broomstick holder look like it isn't. Old school Jesse?? Looks like the "epic" batttle proved school is still in session. I must say though shooting with Chris was a pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Tischauser Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Hey guys and gals I just wanted to drop a quick apology on you for turning this thread upside down yesterday. Especially to Kevin at Invictus and Tim at Taccom. What you guys do with your companies is none of my business. I should have respected that. I wish you both luck with your future endeavors. I have deleted my comments I hope y'all will do the same before the edit button goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gentleman4561 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) So since the last 3+ pages kindof look a little confusing now to readers who missed the action over the last couple days, here are a few pictures Jared at TheTacticalBay.com took of the IP caddies he got ahold of for this comparison of several different shotgun shell carriers, which is really well-done and worth a look if you haven't seen it before. Without getting back into the weeds of whether any new carrier copies this design or not, a lot of the conversation over the past few days was around the angled, ramped and grouped shell clips that the IP carriers introduced, so these pictures might help show how those elements were first implemented with the Invictus caddies - first are the 2.8, which I think is the newest and just started showing up back in February of this year: Edited April 30, 2014 by Gentleman4561 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentleman4561 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 and here are some of the 12Q, which also uses the "ramp" or "offset" or whatever you want to call it, to help make it easier to pull just 2 at a time by grabbing the top row first (I think some folks have said that Kevin was selling these at the Pro-Am last year) Hopefully this will help those who haven't seen them in person yet get a good idea of what I agree is pretty different and unique about the Invictus caddies, especially that angle everybody's been talking so much about lately.

rngunner Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I collected my 2.8 TL from the post office yesterday. First thoughts, Ummmm...BEAUTIFUL !!!!, this is a very good looking, well made and finished caddy. Here in the UK we don`t have anyone that makes caddies and we have to get them all from the USA. I have another makers caddy which I bought a year ago unseen apart from the website, but never got on well with it. The same with this one, unseen except the website, BUT this one is looks and feels right and the customer service, by email, with Kevin has been outstanding. I can`t get to try this for a couple of weeks but trying it on my belt, grabbing 2 or 4 feels ideal. I would buy this just to stand above my fireplace as an ornamental item of good design and a talking point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethanolguy Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I have a new 12Q and really like it. I can quadload with this much better than I can with the other brand. It does work pretty well as a deuce loader but I sometimes fumble the shells next door and one falls out and makes a mess. I will stick with quad loads with my 12Q. I mentioned in another forum about the best customer service I have seen came from Kevin at IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thermobollocks Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Kevin's definitely the man for customer service. I'm not sure how, but one of my clips got smacked off, probably from getting squished around in my bag or trunk. He had a replacement piece in the mail the very same day.

raleck Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I can't say enough great things about Invictus Practical and the products. It took me about 45 minutes to get used to using the caddies once I got them set up I'm running 2 of the 2.8s, and have a 12q, as well as the DeTurk vest (16rd) and couldn't be happier! As far as customer service goes, he's one of the best in the shooting industry. I'll be buying the Holster Hanger as soon as I can get my hands on one. Can't wait for Nordic to try out the DeTurk!

HadleyOwens Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Any of IP's quad design carriers can be use for a load two technique... The 2.8 or any of the 12Q lineups... I quad and load two out of both carriers. No issues whatsoever.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thermobollocks Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I have trouble not knocking shells off of the 2.8 trying to do a load-two. It's actually easier for me to load 4 on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Tischauser Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Alright guys I finally found the kink in the IP armour. If you dive head first into the prone position with a caddy in your belly you might break a clip. I did. Cool thing was that I had a couple spare clips on board and swapped them out In 5 minutes.
