Re: tacstar or mesa tactical
Short answer, yes.
We have had members here post that their TacStar fell off under fire, one that I can remember was during a competition. I had a TacStar on my 590 and replaced it a while back because the screws holding it together kept coming loose. I now run ESSTAC velcro shotgun cards...

Re: tacstar or mesa tactical
They work like a charm for a couple bucks worth of industrial strength velcro and $15 per card.
Have one 7 round card loaded up on my receiver and six more on the vest. The elastic hasn't failed yet and neither has the adhesive on the receiver...

Re: tacstar or mesa tactical
The velcro isn't permanent.
It holds extremely well and is tough as hell, but can be removed and the adhesive residue cleaned off. As far as barrel clamps I don't use any, so I'll have to defer to others with experience...

GG&G has a new one for the 930. Haven't tried it, but like the looks. Retained by replacement fire control pins. http://www.gggaz.com

Yep, my TacStar disintegrated in a very long string of fire in competition. Even with Loctite multiple screws let go, the two layers separated and the unit dangled for a while impeding my loading -eventually I pulled it off but still timed out on the stage. I decided to keep the unit and epoxy and a Loctite upgrade have given me confidence that the unit will not give me a repeat performance. Many rounds later it's still good. Lesson learned.

Re: tacstar or mesa tactical
I looked at those ESSTAC velcro shotgun cards. Interesting & considerably cheaper. That would allow quick removal so I could still use my (probably getting modified) scabbard. Could attach them to the scabbard as well. Hmmm. The scabbard is the usual Voodoo for a 590. The bolt handle keeps the 930 from going all the way in but it's still secure. The scabbard idea is to be able to attach the shotgun to the truck, a tree, under a bunk, where ever handy without having to carry it and offering protection to the weapon. Having extra shells +1.

Re: tacstar or mesa tactical
mingaa, I actually owe you a thanks. I found the post where you detailed your experience with the TacStar. So based on that I purchased the TacStar and after getting it immediately took it apart and grabbed some epoxy based JBWeld from the garage and reassembled it using this on each part. Then I used Loctite on the screws that mount it to the receiver. I am approaching 1000 rounds at this point with the TacStar with no issues at all and it feels as solid as a cinder block. So I guess I will say that if you are willing to put in about 20 mins of work to reinforce the TacStar then you can save some money.
