Today, this commitment to quality and reliability applies to everything we do. Were constantly researching, refining and perfecting every detail to provide products. At Blackhawk, we’re not just making gear; were honoring a vow.

About MOLLE Pouches and Gear
The BLACKHAWK S.T.R.I.K.E. Hydration System Carrier with Speed Clips is a tactical pouch. Most tactical pouches attach with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop design attachments. MOLLE pouches have just recently ended up being popular in the last several years due to tactical innovations and gear efficiency focused products. They are the top option for securing military design pouches to tactical equipment, tactical vests, deployment bags, and other types of field gear. MOLLE straps provide a flexible method for users to pick the mounting place and position of the pouch and mount them anywhere on equipment where there is a MOLLE attachment panel location. The only limitation ends up being which pouches to employ and where to place them.
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE means Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and identifies the pouches, panels, and straps which are put to use in the MOLLE management system. Here are the 3 parts of the mounting system: MOLLE pouches, panels, and straps. Mounting tactical pouches is simple and fast. All soldiers have to do is thread the straps and snap the buttons to secure them in place. Now that we understand what MOLLE is and how it works, let’s check out a few of the most efficient MOLLE pouches you can attach to your airsoft gear beginning with airsoft gun magazine pouches.
Colors of MOLLE Pouches and Camouflage Patterns
MOLLE tactical pouches come in all colors and camouflage patterns. Common pouch colors include: black, tan, OD green (olive drab), foliage green (sage), ranger green, and grey. Typical pouch camouflage patterns include: forest, desert, A-TACs, Multicam, ACU (Army Combat Uniform), digital, and others. Take a look at the example swatches in the product description for what they appear like:
About the BLACKHAWK Brand
The BLACKHAWK brand is pretty well-known among airsoft players. They create pretty good quality airsoft equipment and other gear. If you have questions about their pouches or customer support inquiries, you can find answers on the brand’s website.
Kinds Of BLACKHAWK MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are also called ‘basic’ pouches or just ‘mag pouches’ because they are quite standard in design. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for added security that is generally attached with Velcro. In addition to being offered from lots of tactical equipment companies in the airsoft industry, basic rifle magazine pouches are durable and one of the most cost effective methods to carry magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are comparable to the standard mag pouches with a couple of modifications. As the tactical pouch name indicates, this pouch design removes the flap leaving an open top to insert and remove magazines.
Open Top MOLLE Magazine Pouches with Retention
Open top magazine pouches with retention systems are the latest and most sophisticated type of tactical mag pouches. In order to make mag access a lot easier and reloads faster than ever before, this style of tactical pouch uses MOLLE connections so it can be mounted at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest.
The BLACKHAWK brand also makes retention mag pouches like the FastMag design use differing types of retention to grip the magazines and offer security including bungee cables or rubberized tension bands (depending on producer). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and providing a hard pull up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the tension straps firmly hold the magazines so you do not have to worry about losing the mag during quick movements, crawling, climbing over things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
BLACKHAWK MOLLE Airsoft Gun Handgun Magazine Pouches
Handgun magazine pouches can be found in similar styles to the rifle pouches with standard flip top, open top, and open top with retention styles of tactical pouches. The pistol magazine pouches which come in the basic style have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a few standard pistol pouches which secure airsoft gun magazines effectively with this resilient Velcro flip top design.
The open top and open top with retention pistol pouches are the most typically chosen variations of pistol pouches. A number of the same companies that make rifle mag pouches make matching handgun magazine pouches in the same design. This includes companies like Blue Force Gear, and High Speed Gear. Both of their rifle mag pouch styles are excellent quality, usable, and are replicated by airsoft pouch companies.
Combo Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired style of pouch featuring both a rifle and pistol magazine. Two is usually far better than one. This pouch proves this to be true considering that it saves you cash from having to buy two pouches. For example, the cost of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equates to about a seventy-five percent (75%) cost savings over purchasing all six separately (3x rifle and 3x handgun magazines). Never purchase pouches individually which you can get them as a group.
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a clip recovery pouches) create a spot for you to place empty mags and other gear into rapidly. These tactical pouches are typically carried on your belt in a rolled up position and secured by a button or strap. The pouch can be rapidly unrolled to expand in size and hold empty clips after reloads, additional airsoft BBs/shells, and other tactical gear while in the airsoft field. Some dump pouches even have drawstring tops for extra security while moving with a filled pouch.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft equipment loadout. IFAK is an acronym meaning individual first aid kit and includes the equipment airsoft players need when they need to patch up a cut or injury on the field. A first aid pack must contain the following items: medical tape or cloth tape, Band-Aids or adhesive bandages, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, rolled gauze, a number of sterile gauze pads, antiseptic wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, cutting shears, tweezers, and Other products.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches make a place for carrying a Leatherman, folded maps, pens, compasses, and other field gear. These pouches are basic use pouches for odds and ends which do not go anywhere else generally. You can carry things like extra airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they don’t have their own unique pouch), and other equipment you might require on the airsoft field or tactical situation.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Attachments
Lots of airsoft groups carry radios and communications equipment in the field. Applying a radio pouch with MOLLE accessories helps you secure your communications gear while moving. These little radio pouches will hold most walkie-talkies and family band radios like the Motorola TALKABOUT T800 models and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
