There have been plenty of tactical gear companies to release shotgun related pouches or accessories . In the past the products have ranged from pull out trays that fit into rilfe magazine pouches to m4 pouches with elastic on the front for shotgun shells.

In recent days there has been a new product developed and produced from the mind of John Willis at Osoe. It is a dedicated shot shell pouch. It features two shot shell trays holding six rounds each. It takes up two pals channels.

The first feature of this pouch is that the first shot shell carrier is velcroed on the front of the pouch. there is enough hook and loop on this thing to make sure that they aren't going anywhere.

After you expend the first six rounds, simply pull the tab at the top of the pouch downwards to seperate the outter carrier from the pouch. let it fall free. Then pull the new panel from the interior of the pouch and let it fall foward so that it secures to the velcro as well.

The pouch is only as deep as two rows of shotshells so it doesn't hang off your rig to far.

What do you mean by "3-Gun"?
As far as 3-gun competition goes the best shotgun shell holder/reloader has to be the CCW Speed Stripper.
Available in either 4 or 6 shell (12 ga) capacity- they allow the shooter to grab 3 to 4 shells (depending on how big your mitts are) immediately for a tube reload.

For loading directly into the chamber or select-shell needs, side-saddles such as the Mesa Tactical are great, as well as the 2-shell holders from 3-gun gear, which work well placed directly in front of the chamber for a really fast chamber reload.

The OSOE offering looks like it might be a decent bit of kit for a breacher or a cop that needs to have both rifle and shotgun ammo on a rig.
