AIM Sports Shotgun Shell Bandolier/56 Rounds

Everything about this bandoleer screams overkill, but once I saw it, I just had to have it. I chose this one over the others because:1) It holds 56 rounds instead of 50 which is what other models I looked at held (I'm a big fan of overkill)2) No one else has reviewed it yet, so I figured I'll take my chances and roll the diceI received it in the original packaging. The belt is well made. The stitching seems to be pretty strong and tight, and the elastic is pristine. I'm a stocky build at 5'10" and 160 lbs, and it fits me alright. I loaded 56 rounds of 12 gauge with no difficulty. I then held the belt so the rims of the shells faced the ground and rigorously shook it in an attempt to get anything to fall out, and nothing fell out with my best efforts.Overall, the bandoleer is exactly what I wanted it to be which is why I gave it five stars. I see this lasting through the use and abuse I have in store. I don't own any other gauge of shotgun, so I can't say whether it can hold other gauge shells or not. If I had to guess, though, I would figure anything 20 gauge or larger would fit alright.3/28/12 - UpdateHere we are almost a year later, and I wasn't nice to this thing at all. It's been thrown in mud, rained on, tossed around, and had over 600 shells pass through it so far. Some of the stitching between two of the shell spaces came loose, but me and my old basic training sewing kit fixed that problem pretty quick. Some of the elastic bands are starting to show as well, and that's about it.The bandoleer still excels at its job of overkill, and I hold no regrets for purchasing it.

First of all I want to set the record straight "right now!" The person who accused "Aim Sports" above described (56) capacity bandolier and said it was only a 50 round bandolier must have ordered another product as I received mine and I counted (56) 12 ga shotgun shell capacity on mine and it is very sturdy, well made, with a closed connection. No Velcro that makes a sound like fingernails on a chalkboard (to me). It is very securely sewn together, for the price is a steal, and I am completely satisfied with the product as well as the quick delivery I received. Well done AIM SPORTS, you make a superior product. Now I have a very large chest so it is a bit tight however spins as I remove the shells in a perfect way. I can't find a single thing I don't like about it. I live alone with a right leg amputation, and the other leg has a destroyed knee. I also have a re-attached right arm from a robbery attempt at my store. He did not get the money as I locked him out but he came back and point blank pointed a 12ga 00 buck shotgun at my head with just the store glass separating us. That was back in 1974 but now an old man and it now has a 6" rotator cuff tear. So I truly have only one limb that has not seen extreme trauma. I live in a power-chair. However there is a handicap friendly firing range near me. The shells are held tight but come straight out as you would expect. I am very pleased with this very economically priced bandolier. The only negative thing I have to say is I wish I had bought two of them.

I had this for a year, and always loaded with shells, I have it hanging on a pull up bar, and the strength of the corner stitching never faded away. It does have some scuffs, but not from where it hangs, but rather from sticks and while on the field. The holes them selves are fine, still tight enough to hold a shell without it getting loose, despite having a shell in them for a year.Never had a shell become loose or fall out, and I do jog across fields (not meaning that I workout with it, just jogging across to get a bird or something of that nature) with it. Just be aware, if you're not fit, you will have to get use to the weight of it while standing up for hours. Which can cause soreness for some people, or tiredness, but when you get used to it, it's no biggie. It weighs about 5 pounds when loaded fully with bird shot 12 gauge shells.The bandolier can get in your way when aiming down the sights of a gun. That's if the shells are on your shoulder, just be sure the black part is on your shoulder and a little down towards your chest, and that problem wont happen. Never had a problem with aiming my shotgun with this on.i bought another, and now I have 2 of them, didn't buy another because the old one was worn and torn, just because I wanted 2 to have a X pattern bandoliers. For the price, it is worth it for the quality.

Well, this provides a lot of room for shells (56) and its comfortable to carry. (the weight depends on the shells and how many)One good thing is this bandoleer has double seams/stitches ever other shell, so in the worst case a stitch breaks off completely, you only loose a 2 shells area. It will be perfect if the double stitches were done every shell.Please note other bandoleers don't provide double seems/stitches at all, or have a low quality back/belt.So far, I'm happy with it, and cant find any other cons.
