Shotgun scabbards

[Caster]

Molle type shotgun scabbards.

Cool gear or mall ninja queer?



I have tried half a dozen different slings on my Weatherby PA-08 Threat Response 12g pump. They all get in the way. No guessing to it, I'm assbackward and clumsy. I was looking at these shotgun scabbards as an alternative to running a sling.

Honest opinions? ......humph, like I have to actually ASK for TGO'ers to give an uncensored opinion on anything!

Why would you need a scabbard?  Gonna mount it next the the door of your jeep?

[Smith]

Love them. Used them all the time as they make for a very useful and yet minimal way to carry, store, and transport a shotgun. Much prefer them over a normal gun case. Plus you can attach them to a backpack or just about anything else for transportation.

I've got one for my defense shotgun and I like it. Like Smith said can be used alone or with backpack. I'm sure with a little effort and thought it could be adapted to a wide array of mounting needs. I like the jeep idea too.

I dont care for slings at all as well, the scabbards are something I have looked into and never got one.

Well, for $24 at my local outfitter (right here in my home town) I had to try it, so I bought one this afternoon. I believe it'll take a bit of tinkering to make it "MINE" but it fits like a glove. Very snug but pulling it out is a breeze.

I keep my HD shotgun in one slung over the post of my bed. I have a couple of pouches attached to the molle to hold some extra shells, knife, flashlight, etc. Keeps all that stuff all in one place.

So my vote is for "cool gear". My wife rolls her eyes about it, but we'll see who the mall ninja queer is when she's hiding behind me and my scabbard when something goes bump in the night.

I'm getting one in the very near future after a lot of looking and thinking...

 

Mall Ninja tacti-cool - yep, makes me want a Jeep with no doors like in the Rat Patrol.

 

Infinitely practical - absolutely! Minimalist, easy access, keep your shot gun specific accessories / tools / extra ammo all in one package and easy to transport...I'm in.

 

Solid dark color for urban tacti-cool, camo for rural.

It didn't happen if there's no pics........just sayin'. :D

[Oh Shoot]

Most of them fit non-scoped lever rifles very nicely too.

No pictures until I'm done. The paltry excuse for a shoulder strap was pathetic. Need to add a pouch and maybe a thing or two.

Pics tomorrow maybe.

Although I don't have a dog in this fight, I can say that the molle style scabbard is the preferred style of carry for a family member of mine.

Yes .... yes they do!

Shotgun scabbards

Since when do shotguns have bayonets? :)

Is this the type of shotgun scabbard you guys are discussing?

I can definitely see some utility in one.

 

Looking forward to the pics Caster.

I have a bayonet for my Mossy 590! Don't ask me why, but it is the perfect accessory for a Mall Ninja! I've looked at a buying a shotgun scabbard. Just haven't pulled the trigger yet. Edited October 29, 2014 by Moped

Yeah Prag that's it.  Mine came from a local dealer who carries Condor.  Very nice stuff for the money.  Maybe not the best but it's well stitched and solid....and cheap!

[charlessummers]

^ That's the one I have... in OD.

[Caster]

I still need to add one small pouch next to my knife. The main pouch houses two (10 rnd) boxes of Hornady Heavy Magnum Coyote 3" 00 buckshot, two (5 rnd) boxes of Remington Slugger & (10) rounds of Remington Express #6 shot.
The small pouch will have water/wind proof matches in a plastic tube and a few other tiny accoutrements. If there's room, I would like to add a small Otis kit (btw, if one of you guys have an empty BLACK Otis pouch, pm me!). Maybe not if it's clumsy and gaudy looking. I don't wanna monkey it up with too much crap.

I removed the lousy 1 inch wide strap and replaced it with a spare strap from a backpack. Notice the curve of the strap? The back back straps were curved and the one swept in the proper direction is VERY comfortable. There's also room for a multi tool on the shoulder strap. Coming soon :up: Need a bandolier of 25 shells draped next to it too.

It should make for a great "grab and get diggin'" set up with my Weatherby tucked in.

I bought a Molle-compatible one to attach to my pack a few years ago when I was flying to a big 3-gun match and couldn't bring the cart.  They can come in handy.  It actually held the Garand better than the shotgun.

[Jamie Jackson]

Very Nice Caster! I like your setup my friend.

 

Heck..you guys always cost me money! :wall:

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you. :hat:

[A.J. Holst]

Anybody seen one "on-the-shelf" in Knoxville area?

Caster, could you replace the standard strap with 25 round bandolier in lieu of strapping to the scabbard proper? (If possible I may do it to the one I get)

[gjohnsoniv]

You might be able to find one at Greene's Military and Police. They always have a lot of Condor. Parafrog Airsoft could also be good.
