At my local dealer's I see 4 different types of "Shotgun Butt Shellholder".

Most elastic buttstock holders do not hold up well. The elastic breaks down and they become fodder for the trashcan in less than a year. I prefer the side saddles from Tac Star or try this from http://www.spectergear.com/shotgun_bsh.htm

X2. The ones that attach to the side of the receiver are more ergonomically friendly also. Your right hand is already right there where the shell holder sits.

Yup, sidesaddle on the receiver. Will somewht keep it outta the way and accessible at the same time.
IMO

I bought an elastic one because it was only $5, and it holds shells just fine. However, it keeps creeping up towards the receiver when i shoot, so i have to adjust it frequently. Someone had a more expensive one (I think like $10) that also had a strap that ran across the butt. This should hold the piece in place and keep it from creeping.

Of course, if you plan to use it a ton, probably spend the extra money and get a receiver-mounted unit instead...
