I was looking for an actual ithaca 37 side saddle to put on my stevens 350 (model 37 clone) and I stumbled across an NCStar aluminum 4/6 round side saddle that attatches via velcro or double sided tape and only cost me $13 bucks...
After closer inspection of the pictures it looks to be designed the exact same way that the tighter priced mesa tactical side saddle I used to have was (except for the fact that the NCStar has a dovetails part to remove/add two of the shell carrers).
I ended up selling my mesa tactical because it wasn't worth the high price in my opinion. When I get this el cheapo I'll give an update. If it turns out to be OK I'm thinking of ordering a second one for the other side of the receiver just for giggles since this is a defensive gun/fun gun. May even balance out the weight a bit.
Does anybody have any experience with this particular model?

And here is an example of the Mesa Tactical sidesaddle where you can see the same style of shell retention...
