Colinp Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Looks like a copy of taccoms older loaders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assaulter Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm looking for new quad loaders and that caught my eye, but at $108, I'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUBL Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Copy is a harsh word.....looks similar, but there are subtle differences. Price point is much steeper for a similar product. I am flattered to say the least. Looks like Safariland has entered the arena!! Competition drives innovation and in the end......who wins!! You do!!

Thaunk Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Looks interesting but the carbon arms stuff is larger for the same price I believe. And won't take 6 weeks to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadarrow Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 You would have to try very hard to beat taccom. Price and quality not to mention fast delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billdozer Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Kind of like how invictus came up with the staggered clip designs, then taccom did it, now carbon arms is doing it. Everyone will be using magnets like taccoms new ones next. There's only so many different ways to hold shotgun shells! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spd522 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I looked at them and my first thought was Taccom. What little I played with them, they didn't do anything the Taccom doesn't do at a much lower price. The new Taccom with those little magnets is what I have been trying and like them the best so far.

openclassterror Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Actually, they are unique. The rim slot in the upper plate VERY positively prevents the shells from dislodging when leaning on them. One of our pro shooters recently got a set and fell in love with them. He was doing a demo at the SHOT show where he went prone right on top of a one liter water bottle, rolled around on it back and forth over the holder, popped up and loaded the shotgun. None of the shells will come out unless you pull BOTH shells out at the same time. You can pull quads or duos, but try to get the upper or lower to release by itself and it is almost impossible. The stacks don't "cave in" in the middle when they come in contact with something. I actually like everything about them but the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously looked them over much better than I did. Safariland booth was a zoo whenever I tried to look things over so I am sure I rushed through it. Safariland stuff is always kind of pricey but it is excellent quality. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I think I posted this question previously in the wrong thread, so here we go again in the right place. Does anyone know if the Safariland 086 will attach to a Blade-Tech Tek-Lok belt clip? Do the holes line up? Thanks, -Cuz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthyBlagga Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) I have tried several caddy system, and like these the best for quad loading (or what passes for quad loading when my fat, spastic digits grab a fistfull of shotshells). The only downside is that they have to be adjusted for your particular shotshell length, so caddies configured for birdshot may not also hold slugs or buckshot (depending on your ammo choices, of course). As with almost all the Safariland stuff I own, I waited until I managed to get hold of a 40% discount card, then placed a big order for everything I needed... they are much more appealing at $65 each. If you don't have a discount card, they can be had for $85 at Amazon. Edited September 20, 2017 by StealthyBlagga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Right now they have 30% off on the safariland web site until the end of the month and free shipping on orders over $75. If anyone has a 40% off code please PM me so I can buy a few of these holders. Thanks,-Cuz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James3Gunna Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I love the 086's! Wish they would release the load 12's. I started out with AP Customs and quickly switched to 086's, due to the retention issues with the AP clips. Safariland 086 have excellent retention and a consistent grab. They are easy to cant and easily adjusted for different length shells. They are expensive but 40% coupon's are easy to come by. I recently made a 20 rd drop leg with 3 loads 4's and a load 8.

Searchnman Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I have looked at them and I think they are great. Very strong retention on both top and bottom shells. The grab and pull are really smooth. The price though is a little steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffgats Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 For Retention they are great, sizewise a little bulky, as mentioned above, you have to adjust the "lenght" to a specific Brand or type of Shell. Price- oh well just dont tell your wife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tattooo Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Almost double taccom's price for too similar of a product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 There is really no comparison when it comes to shell retention and the separation of the shells easily allows you to grab either set of quads on an 8 shell holder. I got to play with a few different quad holders last weekend and they each have pros and cons. It really comes down to what your particular priorities are. For me, I like the 6 shell duals from Invictus, and the quad holders from Safariland. Now I just wish safariland would hurry up and ship the damn holders I ordered last weekend!!!
