Hey ya'll. I've been looking into shotgun scabbards, because I don't have a good way of carrying my shotty other thatn slinging it over my shoulder right now. I've seen the cheaper scabbards that fall apart on the inside out, but some scabbards that can survive a nuclear blast. I'm planning on getting a Molle/CIRAS carrier within the near future, and wondering if this particular model is of good quality, or if anyone has any reccomendations. www.airsoftpost.com/product_info.php?cPath=30_150&products_id=30422I'm kinda new to the whole molle/webbing bandwagon, so any further info would be GREAT.

I would say, rather than getting that, get a weapon keeper instead. Blackhawk! makes one that is decent. What that will do is allow you to use minimal real estate on your vest and have your shotgun at the ready. Heck, if I feel frisky enough to take mine into battle, I just cinch up the retention straps on my MAP and trot on out to the field. You're not doing a 10 mile ruck with it, you don't need it all secured down to high heaven.
Just for you, I'll go get a new battery for my camera and post pictures tonight/tomorrow of what I'm talking about. Since I have a CIRAS, it'll be all the easier explained.

Like this? If so, I'll take the cash for the battery you were going to buy and gas money in form of a traveler's check. kthnxbai

Haha, that is what I was referring to in regards to the weapon keeper, but now how I carry mine on my vest.
So, no soup for you!

Weapons keeper looks a lot nicer to add.
Refferring to the picture posted by CQBR, is that hoop/strap the only thing that holds the shotgun? Or is their a sling that supports the stock so the shotgun doesn't flop around?
EDIT: Where could I find a Weapons Keeper?

I'll be honest, I'd go with the weapon keeper, too. I've got a scabbard for my shotgun and I absolutely hate it. I still haven't got the placement right...it feels like it's knocking me off balance. That's just me though.

This one is probably one of the better ones: www.blackhawk.com/product/Stealth-Weapons-Catch,1495,1484.htm A little pricey, but it's not meant JUST for holding a shotgun, you can also position it to catch your primary when you want to keep it slung out of the way.

It is pricey, but non the less seems more effective. I'll get one with my next order.
Thanks guys!

Haha dude, we're airsofters. We have to look "real" because even if actual operators use shock cord and carabiners, that's too ghetto for us.
