OB, a Johns Hopkins-trained engineer, and T-Rat, an Air Force Academy graduate, had unique motivations for developing a reliable way to feed 1.75-inch shells. OB, a shotgun enthusiast who advocates for home self-defense, wanted a way to introduce his wife and daughter to a 12-gauge without intimidating them with the recoil.

 

In contrast, T-Rat had little concern over recoil until his father—a dedicated shooter of 70 years and a Korean War veteran—could no longer handle the shotgun’s impact after undergoing rotator cuff surgery and a stroke. Determined to help his father continue enjoying the sport he loved, T-Rat joined forces with OB to design a solution that would significantly reduce recoil.

 

Thus, the OPSol Mini-Clip™ was born. Throughout its development, OB considered his preference for shoulder stocks to improve accuracy, while T-Rat valued the portability and maneuverability of pistol grips. Together, they aimed to make the OPSol Mini-Clip™ accessible for shooters of all skill levels.

 

Recognizing the importance of practice with any firearm, they understood that low-recoil response might encourage more people to put in practice time. However, they acknowledged that some might not get around to it.

 

Fueled by American grit and ingenuity, along with thousands of 1.75-inch shells tested, the OPSol Mini-Clip™ offers a reliable, budget-friendly pairing with models like the Maverick 88®. It brings peace of mind to hand a lower-recoil shotgun setup to wives, daughters, fathers, uncles, and others in need of a manageable, self-defense option—offering a level of security that “911” can’t provide. Purchase an OPSol Mini-Clip™ and experience the difference.
