About MOLLE Pouches and Gear
The Boston Leather Key Holder with Protective Flap 5448-3-B is a tactical pouch. Many tactical pouches connect 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 inventions. They are the top option for securing military style pouches to tactical equipment, tactical vests, range bags, and other types of equipment. MOLLE straps offer a unique method for users to select the mounting location and position of the pouch and install them anywhere on equipment where there is a MOLLE attachment panel area. The only constraint becomes which pouches to apply and where to put them.
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE stands for Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and refers to the pouches, panels, and straps which are utilized in the MOLLE gear system. Now that we understand what MOLLE is and how it works, let’s check out some of the best MOLLE pouches you can add to your airsoft equipment beginning with airsoft weapon magazine pouches.

Types of Boston Leather MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are usually called ‘standard’ pouches or just ‘mag pouches’ due to the fact that they are quite standard in design. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for extra security that is generally fastened with Velcro. In addition to being offered from many tactical gear companies in the airsoft industry, standard rifle magazine pouches are long lasting and one of the most affordable methods to hold magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are similar to the basic mag pouches with a couple of differences. As the tactical pouch name implies, this pouch style gets rid of 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 advanced type of tactical mag pouches. In order to make mag access a lot easier and magazine reloads faster than ever, this style of tactical pouch utilizes MOLLE connections so it can be mounted at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest.
The Boston Leather brand also makes retention mag pouches like the FastMag style use differing types of retention to grip the magazines and provide security including bungee cables or rubberized tension bands (depending upon producer). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and using a hard pull up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the stress straps firmly hold the magazines so you don’t need to worry about losing the mag during fast motions, crawling, climbing up things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
Boston Leather MOLLE Airsoft Gun Pistol Magazine Pouches
Pistol magazine pouches are available 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 can be found in the basic style have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a couple of basic handgun pouches which secure airsoft gun magazines effectively with this resilient Velcro flip top style.
The open top and open top with retention handgun pouches are the most commonly used variations of handgun pouches. A lot of the same companies which make rifle mag pouches make matching handgun magazine pouches in the exact same style.
Combination Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired design of pouch featuring both a rifle and pistol magazine. The cost of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equates to about a seventy-five percent (75%) cost savings over purchasing all 6 separately (3x rifle and 3x handgun magazines).
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a magazine retrieval pouches) make a spot for you to discard empty mags and other gear into rapidly. These tactical pouches are generally held in a rolled up position and secured by a button or strap. The pouch can be quickly unrolled to expand in size and hold empty clips after you reload your airsoft gun, extra airsoft BBs/shells, and other tactical gear while in the field. Some dump pouches even have drawstring tops for added security while moving with a pouch that is full.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft gear loadout. IFAK means individual first aid kit and includes the medical gear airsoft players need when they have to patch up a gash or wound on the field. A first aid kit should contain the following items: medical tape or cloth tape, Band-Aids or adhesive bandages, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, rolled bandages, a number of sterile gauze pads, antibacterial wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, trauma shears, tweezers, and Other items.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches create a place for carrying tools, folded maps, pens, and other field gear. These pouches are general use pouches for odds and ends which don’t go anywhere else normally. You can carry things like spare airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they do not have their own special pouch), and other equipment you might require on the airsoft field or in a tactical situation.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Accessories
Many airsoft organizations use communications and radios devices in the field. Adopting a radio pouch with MOLLE accessories helps you secure your communications gear while moving. These small radio pouches will hold most walkie-talkies and radios like the Motorola TALKABOUT T800 series and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
