That answered my question Roskoe.
It makes a lot of sense. With a short barrelled gun it wouldn't be too much trouble to keep it shouldered for a short time with one hand while reloading. Personally, I think I'll be behind some cover rather than out in the open pointing my gun during a reload, but who knows? Options are good.

While I wasn't asking if anyone thought a side-saddle was a good choice, there are a coupleof advantages that it gives youbesides being able to reload if you should happen to run dry.
You can be completely mobile and have more than enough with you. If you wake to find someone in your house, you will probably not be wearingchothing with pockets to carry extras of anything. Also, since the architecture of the shotgun platform allows to to top off the magazine after a shot has been fired without taking the gun out of service, why not take advantage of the situation and keep your magazine full if the opportunity presents itself? Extra ammo also allows you to 'waste' a few rounds making sure the bad guy keeps his head down while your family makes an escape to a more secure location.

It's all about options, and having a plan.
I was just curious about another view of the loading technique.

Thanks guys.
