Someone on here 3d printed 1 and was selling them

I just use an elastic butt stock shell holder. The one made for a 30.06 rifle seems to work great for .410.
Two reasons I don't like them:
I shoot ambidextrously depending on which way I need to set up, so I don't want shells in my cheek when shooting.
Also, I like the stock to be smooth and free of things that can catch on my clothing when trying to shoulder a gun in an awkward position or when switching from right to left hand to make a shot.
I guess a third reason is I do alot of crawling around on the ground and through heavy cover. I never trusted any kind of elastic shell holder, especially with high priced ammo.
The way this one sits you have to break the action to get the shell out because if it backs out on its own somehow, the brass catches on the metal lip of the gun and cannot fall out.
I have the elastic shell holder on my stock and it has a flap that goes over the 5 shells and it will not hang up on your clothes nor will you lose shells from it ... I really like this type of shell holder .. Have it on both of my Stevens 410 / 20 ga... Which I wish I had never bought, don't really care for either of these guns ...
I had my ol lady make a neoprene 2 shell holder that slipped over the front stock right where my front hand is on the gun
I just Kill'em with the first shot.

LOL I was thinking, "I don't understand what you need extra shells for". Leave 'em in your pocket.
I picked up one of these just in case I have to shoot my way out... haven't lost a shell yet, 410 fit pretty snug
I use the Barney Fife method.

;D I was about to ask the question..."Who has to take a second shot?...And if you do, where are you hunting that the gobbler will hang around long enough to let you reload and do it?" ...I want to start hunting there... ;D :D

I see this happen when using the 410 quite a bit! Something about it doesn't spook them as much as say a 12ga. Seen this in multiple states that allowed multiple birds shot on same day.
I figured the "who needs a 2nd shot" comments would come out.
Both times I've hunted with my son at 7 and 8 years old he has killed a longbeard. Both times after the shot a 2nd bird could have been killed if it wasn't youth season or I still had a tag. Last year I had 20 minutes of video from two toms strutting around and flogging their long spurred buddy who just got hammered.
When I hunt with him we can only carry one gun by law. Wouldn't it be nice if one of these years we get a chance to do a father/son double? Wouldn't it be nice to have a 2nd shell ready to go without digging in you pockets for it? Pass the gun, pop the shell in, and shoot a 2nd bird.
I swear some guys can't think outside their own small world. I suppose you fellas all hunt with single shots and take one shell with you right? Or do you hunt with pumps and auto loaders? One shell in them too right? Sure.
Nifty
Many of the replies here are "forum typical". Not having a second shot ready ASAP is doing the big birds a disservice IMO. Over the years have seen birds roll and run. I'm sure many forum experts have experienced this at least once.
If I may be so presumptuous for the moment to take the liberty of speaking on behalf of the "who needs a second shot?" crowd, I could be mistaken, but there are times when certain folks on the forum make what are intended to be light-hearted comments that are recognized as such by some...and apparently not recognized by others. It is a good idea to look at the "character" that is making such a post and take time to contemplate if they were being serious...or not (which was most definitely the case with at least a few of the commenters). ;D :D :icon_thumright:
I wouldn't have any idea who you're talking about Gobblegoob.

Mine too was tongue in cheek, as it would not make much difference on a reload if it was in my pocket to finish off a bird.
HOWEVER, if one is that worried about having a second shot ASAP, don't shoot a single shot. Or have a buddy hunt with you. I can fish a shell out of my vest a lot faster than I can reload a muzzleloader.

Oh, I'm fairly certain you know exactly who at least one of the culprits I was referring to is... ;D :D :toothy9:
I doubt if most are too overly concerned with second shot speed but the least amount of variables you put in the game the better it is for all concerned. Yes muzzleloaders are definitely one and done. The single shot 301s not really if the second shell is readily at hand. I'm betting under 5 seconds, maybe less. There are times the "cuteness" on these threads gets old. It will get to the point some will be reluctant to ask a legitimate question.
I'll try to do better with the "cuteness" Joey46. My bad I didn't realize some people are more tightly wrapped than myself. If I get out of line again please let me know. For those of you who are concerned with a follow up shot with a 410 single shot, the OP has a good idea.

Also guilty, as charged... Unfortunately, I am not certain I am capable of doing better. At this stage of the game, I am about as tightly wrapped as I am ever gonna get... I fear everybody is just going to have to put up with me...and especially you, guesswho! ;D :icon_thumright:
Over the years many of these forums lose members and occasional participants when it becomes obvious that the post are saturated with a few "cool guys" that monopolize topics and mock those who have differing opinions. This bunch is trending that way. Too bad since the other big forum is nothing more than a sales tool for the owner. Left that one months ago. More of my ADAPTING philosophy.
Probably true joey, but Gobble and guesswho ain't those guys. In fact, they are 2 of my favorite posters that I actually take time to read.
I have never seen either ridicule anyone (except good natured barbs with friends).
