Types of 5.11 MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are usually called ‘basic’ pouches or simply ‘mag pouches’ due to the fact that they are pretty basic in style. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for extra security that is usually fastened with Velcro. In addition to being readily available from lots of tactical equipment companies in the airsoft industry, standard rifle magazine pouches are durable and one of the most inexpensive methods to carry magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouch types are similar to the standard mag pouches with a few enhancements. As the tactical pouch name suggests, this pouch design eliminates the flap leaving an open top to insert and take out magazines. This allows for quiet access and increased speed while accessing or swapping gun pouches. These mag pouches can come in triple or single magazine holding setups.
Open Top MOLLE Magazine Pouches with Retention
Open top magazine pouches with retention systems are the latest and most advanced kind of tactical mag pouches. The retention systems are developed into the magazine pocket so that it holds the magazine tightly under stretchy bungees. In order to make mag accessibility simpler and reloads faster than ever before, this design of tactical pouch makes use of MOLLE accessories so it can be mounted at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest. The pouch components are normally made of ABS components.
The 5.11 brand also makes retention mag pouches like the FastMag design use differing types of retention to grip the magazines and provide security including bungee cords or rubberized bungee bands (depending on maker). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and providing a hard tug up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the bungee straps firmly hold the magazines so you do not need to worry about losing the mag during quick motions, crawling, climbing over things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
5.11 MOLLE Airsoft Gun Handgun Magazine Pouches
Pistol magazine pouches can be found in related designs to the rifle pouches with standard flip top, open top, and open top with retention styles of tactical pouches. The handgun magazine pouches which come in the standard design have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a number of basic handgun pouches which secure airsoft gun magazines very well with this durable Velcro flip top design.
The open top and open top with retention pistol pouches are the most typically chosen versions of pistol pouches. A lot of the same companies which make rifle mag pouches make matching handgun magazine pouches in the same style. This includes companies like Blue Force Gear, and High Speed Gear. Both of their rifle mag pouch designs are outstanding quality, usable, and are reproduced by airsoft pouch companies.
Combo Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired design of pouch including both a rifle and pistol magazine. The expense of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equals about a seventy-five percent (75%) savings over purchasing all 6 individually (3x rifle and 3x pistol magazines).
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a magazine recovery pouches) create an area for you to throw empty mags and other things into quickly. Some dump pouches also have drawstring tops for additional security while on the run with a full pouch.
