I just received a Mesa Tactical Remington 870 6 round shell holder.  It said in the instruction book that it is not meant for long term storage of shells and that it could deform the neoprene retension system and not hold the shells securely.  Has anyone had any issues with it as my intension is to hold extra shells (slugs) for home defense.  If it does this, what good is the system?

what is mesa's deffinition of "long term"? is it a month, a year, or 10 years? if they answer months then i see your problem, but if its many years then you should be ok. I dont own one of there products, but its what i would do if i were in you place. hope i helped.

slap em in there
if they start to not fit as snug take a little strip of black tape and line the inside of the shell holder till the shells fit tight

I'm sure Mesa will respond soon.

I've had mine loaded for over a year and they're still very tight. If they do loosen too much, I'm sure they'll be able to fix them for you... I know they've changed the retention system material since I bought mine.

Thanks for the response. I will slam them in there in case any Zombies appear.
