Overview

The Esstac 7-round card is a common modern shotgun load-carry solution. Instead of permanent side-saddles, shooters run hook-and-loop receiver panels and swap pre-loaded cards during training or defensive staging. This keeps weight modular while improving reload consistency.

Key Features

  • ✓7-round 12-gauge elastic retention layout
  • ✓Hook-backed card format for fast swaps
  • ✓Works with common receiver-side loop panels
  • ✓Low-cost way to stage multiple reload sets

Pros

  • +Fast card swaps support repeatable shotgun reload workflow
  • +Lightweight versus rigid side-saddle systems
  • +Inexpensive and easy to stage in quantity

Cons

  • −Requires compatible receiver loop panel
  • −Elastic retention can wear over long-term hard use
