    Recommendations for a shotgun shell belt/ bandoleer

    I want to pick up a leather shotgun belt, was wondering if anyone has a recommendation on a nice one to look out for.

    I would like something that is real leather, I have seen a few that are “genuine leather” and look quite cheap. Maybe hold 15-25 rounds?

    I have a leather belt/bandolier with an adjustable strap forming the cartridge loops. You cn configure it for handgun, rifle, ot shotgun, or a combination thereof. If you want, I can dig it out for you.

    That would be awesome! Thanks

    I just bought a belt for my .45-90 from this place. Very nice construction and heavy leather. They make them for shotguns too.

    Search for AmishLeatherStore (esty).

    I went cheap with nylon both sides. Either BudK or Allen. Both have served well over the years even if they mainly hang on the 12ga behind my bedroom door.

    But at least I know if I grab it and throw it over one shoulder I'll have reloads available in a variety of shells. Everything from slugs, buckshot to birdshot.
    I truly believe we need to get back to basics.

    Get right with the Lord.
    Get back to the land.
    Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.


    May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
    and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
    praise glorious!

    While I'm figuring out how to post pictures:
    I have two shell belts. One is border-stamped and is 34" -38", respectively, from the leading edge of the buckle to the first and last holes. It appears to have been shortened at the buckle end; making a simple extension should'nt be really difficult.
    The other is plain tan leather, 40"-44" length to holes, 12 gauge loops, and has 18 loops. If either sounds interesting, PM me.
    I'm new here and still trying to figure out how things work on this forum, so responses may be delayed.
