Mesa Tactical
Mesa Tactical has established themselves as the premier manufacturer of tactical shotgun accessories over two decades. The Beretta 1301 and A300 platforms offer unmatched versatility in the field, with ammunition options available for every conceivable application. While shotguns excel in power and operational simplicity, their limited ammunition capacity remains a constant challenge. The inherent design of tube-fed shotguns, combined with the substantial size of shotgun shells, creates a persistent need for reloads. Over the years, various approaches have been attempted, from stock-mounted carriers to belt-worn solutions. The side saddle has emerged as the optimal solution through extensive field testing. Mesa Tactical's engineering expertise has refined their SureShell system to perfection.
The Mesa Tactical SureShell Carrier showcases their commitment to excellence through its construction from hardcoat anodized 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, delivering superior durability compared to market alternatives. Mesa Tactical's approach stands apart through their dedication to platform-specific designs. While some manufacturers resort to universal-fit solutions or adhesive mounting methods that fail under intensive use, Mesa develops mounting solutions unique to each shotgun model. This Beretta 1301 side saddle integrates seamlessly with the receiver's existing top mounting screw holes, incorporating a mil-spec Picatinny rail that maintains the original mounting points while adding shell-carrying capability. The SureShell carrier system for the Beretta A300 and 1301 utilizes Santoprene elastomer tubes that securely retain shells in either brass-up or brass-down orientation. A protective rubber gasket prevents marring of the host firearm's finish.
