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.

Q: Will this attach to my gun with existing equipment or do I have to get TacStar hardware?
