TACSTAR SIDESADDLE RAIL MOUNT

Shop this product — the Tacstar SideSaddle Rail Mount is an ultrarigid, lightweight aluminum unit priced at $114.98 and categorized as a Shell Holder for tactical shotguns.

Design and fit

This rail mount straddles both sides of the receiver and uses a nonglare anodized finish to reduce reflections. The construction is intentionally stiff to resist flex during rough use. It’s designed specifically to fit 12 gauge Remington 870, 1100, and 1187 models, so fitment and secure attachment are priorities for owners of those platforms.

Rail placement and sight clearance

The top Picatinny rail sits just high enough to allow continued use of a shotgun’s bead sight. That small but critical offset preserves the factory sight picture while giving you a standardized mounting surface for lights, small optics, or offset backups. For defensive applications where a quick glance at the bead is still part of your training, this balance is especially useful.

Slimline SideSaddle shell carrier

The integrated Slimline SideSaddle shotshell carrier is made of flexible synthetic rubber and retains six extra 12 gauge shells. This layout keeps rounds accessible for emergency reloads without adding bulk or snag points. For 12 gauge users — whether in home defense, patrol work, or sporting clays practice — having six ready shells on the receiver increases reload speed and operational readiness.

Performance and practical use

At 114.98, the mount delivers a sturdy, lightweight solution that complements Tacstar’s reputation for practical shotgun accessories. The anodized finish and aluminum body keep weight down while providing corrosion resistance suitable for range days and duty use. Because it fits several Remington models, it’s a versatile upgrade for common 12 gauge platforms.

Installation is straightforward and reversible, making it a sensible choice for shooters who want added capacity without permanent gunsmithing. For detailed specs and to confirm fitment for your shotgun, View product details and pricing.
