Overview
The Aridus Industries QDC (Quick Detach Carrier) is a 6-round side-saddle shell carrier designed specifically for the Benelli M4 receiver. Unlike traditional side-saddles that are semi-permanently bolted to the receiver, the QDC uses a quick-detach mounting system that allows the carrier to be removed and reattached without tools. This makes cleaning, storage, and transport significantly easier. The carrier uses a machined aluminum chassis with Kydex shell retention inserts that hold shells securely under recoil while still allowing fast individual extraction. The QDC mounts to the receiver's existing pin holes, keeping weight centered and close to the action. Aridus Industries has built a reputation in the tactical shotgun community for purpose-built accessories that solve real problems, and the QDC is their flagship Benelli M4 product.
