Carrier for Shotgun Magazine

Abstract

A shotgun magazine carrier for a competition shotgun to be attached to a competition belt or tactical belt. The carrier will fully attach to the magazine, so much so that it will remain on the magazine as it is installed onto the shotgun. The magazine will be configured such that it will remain in place as the competitor moves around the course whether in the mounted belt position or on the shotgun itself. The carrier consists of two parts, which can be made of metal or plastic, held together around the magazine with one or more fasteners. One of the two metal parts will be bent at a ninety-degree angle, in a clip shape, in order to fit directly over the competition or tactical belt securely next to the body of the user. The carrier will remain securely in place when in movement and during loading of the magazine.
