I have one on mine that holds six rounds....three OO buck and three slugs. With the two tucked under the cuff (my first load), I have eight rounds ready when I pick up the gun. I also have a belt/bandolier with 24 rounds (bird/buck/slug) as a backup. I've also seen a few slings that will hold extra rounds, but I haven't got one...seeker_twonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-17198583370962199952011-03-20T17:27:54.867-06:002011-03-20T17:27:54.867-06:00...I wish the Czech company Pioneer made hammerles......I wish the Czech company Pioneer made hammerless doubles...forget "tanks;" those guns are built like destroyers...<br /><br />Not to nitpick but are you sure they are a Czech company?

I've been through quite a few but I can recall a beautiful Browning that one of my relatives owned. It was unreal. It seemed like the shotgun would hold a pattern f-o-r-e-v-e-r. We were literally busting clays with it at over 60 yards.
