Why most shotshell carriers fail

No matter how well they're made, conventional shotshell strips have a fundamental design flaw: the webbing curls under stress from the shells and elastic tension. Once it curls, the backing is no longer flat. Once it's not flat, the Velcro loses contact and the strip falls off your gun.

Add wet weather and you can lose another 30 to 40 percent of your remaining adhesion. By the time you need it most, your ammunition is on the ground.

We tried Kydex. We tried other thermoplastics. Everything thin enough to fit into the strip eventually bent, got pliable, and snapped. We needed an insert you couldn't manipulate enough to bend out of shape. It had to hold flat permanently. It had to be light. It couldn't be metal.

The material that changed everything

Tegris is a thermoplastic composite manufactured by Milliken (USA). It's used in plate carrier cummerbunds, ballistic panels, and impact-rated protective equipment. It performs from arctic cold to desert heat, with 2 to 15 times the compressive strength of conventional thermoplastics.

A laser-cut Tegris spine runs the full length of every DSC strip. It will not bend. It will not curl. It will not take a set after thousands of load/unload cycles.

We went through eight or nine iterations of using Tegris before we found the right combination of thickness, sewing technique, and elastic tension. We have to sew through it with a heavy leather sewing machine, which means it's slow to manufacture. That trade-off is what makes it work.

Across roughly 10,000 units in the field, we have had zero failures from the strip flexing, bending, or losing shape.

One strip. Both gauges.

Most manufacturers run separate SKUs for 12 gauge and 20 gauge. We deliberately sized the elastic tighter, closer to a 20 gauge profile, and field-tested with our own training faculty.

Result: a strip that locks in on both 12 and 20 gauge shells without grip spray, without temperature sensitivity, and without rounds falling out. You can run them brass-down with zero issues, which matters for the 2-up / 4-down loading drill that's been standard in policing since the 1960s.

Compare that to rigid competition shell holders that cost two to three hundred dollars and dump rounds the second the temperature changes.

Pinch. Pull. Reload.

Most shotshell carriers use a paracord loop. Loops snag on gear. Loops wrap your finger when you don't want them to. Loops give a hand under stress something to grab onto that you didn't plan for.

The DSC uses a hypalon pinch tab. You don't hook your finger through it. You pinch it and pull. Less to catch. Easier to find under stress.

The tab is intentionally a contrasting color from the body of the strip, even on the subdued black version: gray on black, gray on FDE, green on green. If you've ever jumped, you know why. The tab is the thing you pull. Your eye finds it before your hand does.

Organize your ammunition by color

Available in Black, Wolf Gray, Ranger Green, MultiCam, and Flat Dark Earth. The intended use isn't matching your kit. It's organizing your ammunition.

One color per round type: buckshot, slugs, breaching, less-lethal. Under stress, your eyes do the sorting before your hands do. One less chance of grabbing the wrong shell when it counts.

4, 5, 6, and 7 shot configurations

4-shot - Compact setup for short-barrel firearms and minimalist loadouts.

5-shot - Sized for standard 4+1 cruiser-ready police shotguns. If you have a bog-standard duty gun with no magazine extension, this is a full reload. Even cruiser-ready (four rounds, nothing in the chamber), once you load that, you're good to go.

6-shot - Standard duty and competition configuration.

7-shot - Extended magazine setups and high-volume shooting where you need maximum rounds on the gun.

Lifetime warranty

If a DSC ever fails on you, we replace it. No questions. We know what that exposes us to. We're fine with it.

The stitching on a DSC looks rougher than a softgoods-only competitor product. That's not because we're sloppy. It's because every stitch is punched through Tegris with a heavy leather sewing machine. We could make it prettier by removing what makes it stay flat. We won't.
