I love shotguns, specifically 12 gauge and especially the old school military point man and the various emergency break out riot shotgun variants and various tactical variants I've created, repaired or restored and never cared for the pretty look-only the type that the First Sergeant had specifically designated sent to me and my post as if the base or station was being locked down for something wicked-and I've lived those moments. So, if it wasn't metal 100 rd belts and an M60 machinegun, it was and remains now, bandoleers with 12 gauge American firepower that now bristle on my favorite 55 round BLACKHAWK! scuba loops. I feel I especially can advise on fighting/defensive/riot/survival shotguns and the advantages and events I could recount. Sometimes the very specific knowing which specific rounds on which one of the many bandoleers I've used and continue to have for fast retrieval of having enough of and the desired choice of 12 gauge ammo. I must admit that with the 15 or so bandoleers that I wish BLACKHAWK! had some Olive Drab, Tan, and especially old school U.S. Woodland, old school U.K. Woodland DPM and some Wolf Gray for us oldest school Survivalists who studied all sorts of techniques for emergencies, served in more than one Mil Branch to get uber training and worked with multiple agencies for more skills, like getting that FBI/STATE Firearms Instructor creds to take it all to just one more level! Well, BLACKHAWK! Bandoleer break down, not counting stock and receiver sh...

I got this on the recommendation of a friend of mine. It is very well built, sturdy and I expect it will last awhile. It is easy to load and very convenient for easy access to shells. Easy to do business with Optics Planet. Received promptly.
Would recommend: Yes

Gave it 5 stars. Sturdy construction, pretty comfortable, holds shells with great elasticity. I use it for crow hunting and it works great. I do a decent amount of walking and it doesn't move around. I forget about it while sitting. Very pleased. I would recommend if you want light weight hunting gear but need a place to put your ammo without worrying about shells in your pockets, backpack, shell holder, etc.
Would recommend: Yes

Very good bandoleer, high quality and robust material, the best I ever tried.
I would recommend it as a best bandoleer for it's price! I've been hunting for a discount for a couple of months and finally bought it for 19.99 :)

It's a pleasant surprise when you order something and there's no unpleasant surprises. It's a little tough getting 12 gauge shells in the loops, but that's a good thing in terms of retention. Sits well on my shoulder and torso.
Pros: good shell retention, large capacity, good weight distribution
Cons: none
Would recommend: Yes
