Tactical Shotgun Grips FAQs

Q: How do I attach the TacSling to this?
A: These have a built in loop to install the sling on the rear grip. For the front we recommend the Barrel/Magazine Clamp and Quick Detachable Swivel.

Q: Are these difficult to install and are there special tools required?
A: All necessary mounting hardware is provided for the rear pistol grips. Only a hex key is needed to install the rear grips. Forends will require some basic disassembly to install.

Note: when installing the front grips, keep in mind they will be tight fitting over the magazine tube. This insures stability.

Q: What is the adapter for on the Mossberg Forend Grip model?
A: Mossberg has made shotguns with two different forend lengths. The adapter allows the forend to fit on either one.

Q: What gauge shotguns will these fit?
A: These grips are for 12 gauge shotguns only.

SideSaddle FAQs

Q: Do I need a Six Shot or a Four Shot SideSaddle for my shotgun?
A: If your shotgun is equipped with a TacStar, Pachmayr, or a short defense type forend, the Six Shot SideSaddle will work. If you have a field grade forend that extends over the sides of the receiver, you will need a Four Shot SideSaddle to prevent interference with the forend.

A: No, these are available only in black.

Q: Are SideSaddles available in both 12 or 20 ga.?
A: Some 12 and 20 ga. models are available. Sorry, no 16, 28 or 410 models are available at this time.

Q: Is any adhesive recommended for installation?
A: We recommend the use of Loctite 242 on the tips of the screws. This is not a permanent glue and will allow the gun the be taken down when needed.

TacSling FAQs

Q: What is the length & width?
A: The width is 1", the length is 5 ½’ total, this is adjustable.
