Description
The Carbon Arms 12 Round Shot Shell Holder is a 12-round shotshell caddy designed for belt-mounted use in competitive shooting. It uses Carbon Arms’ TWinS (Two in Shotgun) clip system, holding 12-gauge 2-3/4″ shells horizontally for strong-hand or weak-hand retrieval.
The caddy supports multiple loading methods from the same carrier: six Twin Loads (grabbing 2 shells at a time), three Quad Loads (grabbing 4 shells at a time), or any combination. The 12-round capacity means fewer caddies on your belt for stages with heavy shotgun round counts, which frees up belt space for pistol and rifle magazine pouches.
This version uses Regular sized injection-molded clips in black. The clips hold shells at a standard spacing from the Delrin backplate. Carbon Arms also offers an XL Clips version that provides additional standoff distance between shells and the mounting plate — the choice between Regular and XL comes down to hand size, loading style preference, and how you want the shells to present during your grab.
The Delrin backplate is pre-drilled to accept Safariland ELS forks, Blade-Tech Tek-Lok, and Blade-Tech TMMS mounting systems. Mounting hardware is not included and must be purchased separately. The caddy mounts at adjustable angles, allowing you to dial in the orientation that works for your draw.
This is a fixed 12-round holder and is not expandable. All clips and hardware are injection-molded in the USA with domestically sourced hardware.
