ctfish Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Back in 2013 I bought a pair of AP Customs 4x4 Shell Carriers. These were available in 4x4, 3x3, and 4 single stack if I remember correctly. Looking online now the closest thing I can find is a holder from Safariland, and the AP Customs are discontinued. Have these types of Carriers fallen completely out of favor due to Load2 and Load4? https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1017859884 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usmc1977 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I still use mine for backup rounds and slugs sometimes. It is always in my pack-up and still has a place is huge round-count shotgun stages. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vespid_Wasp Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I kept mine because sometimes having shotgun caddies that you can go prone with and not lose all your shells is a big enough advantage to make it worthwhile. Also a good secure way to segregate ammo where speed of loading isn't paramount. Quad loading is much faster and is primarily how I keep my shotgun fed but I'm going to hang onto my old 4x4s. Heck I still have some of my old california competeition works plastic 4 shell caddies. And use them occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpeltier Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I still keep a pair of the old "Man Mountain" 4 rd holders on my belt. Im still learning the "New" methods with my "Kings" shell holder and quite often my old reliable 4 rounders save the day. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verla Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I have some of the 4X4 AP customs shell carriers that I use depending upon the stage ammo requirements- slugs, buckshot, etc and position- prone, etc. They are still very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH1961 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I would LOVE to find a couple in 20 gauge for our 'battle belts'. Anyone have any ideas? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
