The Gun Digest editorial staff caught up with Colt Pro Shooter Maggie Reese at the Safariland Booth during the 2016 SHOT Show in Las Vegas to get a first look at the Model 086 Shotgun Shell Holder.
Safariland is a well-respected name in the firearms industry, and this year the company is poised to further build on its reputation with a host of new products. One of the most interesting, particularly for those who shoot competitively, is Safariland's new Model 086 Shotgun Shell Holder.
Capable of holding eight shells comfortably and securely, this new accessory is sure to speed up the reloading process. The Model 086 utilizes unique retaining plates to keep shells from dislodging, while also allowing for quick and easy removal—and the device is adjustable in terms of cant, ride-height and shell length.
Watch the video to learn more and to see Maggie demonstrate how to properly use the Model 086.
