Lewis,
I had a side saddle on my Benelli for a long time (until the screw that holds it on broke). In fact I had it on there for about 3 years, of constant use. I use this gun not only for tactical type shooting/training, but also for trap, SC, 5-stand, etc.... it was in and out of a lot of cases and on and off a lot of racks. It had been dropped a time or two to boot! I was surprised with its durability.
The side saddle is preculiarly useful on the Benelli,which aloads a tactical reload whiel the tube is still full. (eg- you can load a slug fro mthe side saddle without havinbg to empty your buckshot out of the tube first...).
