About the HERO’S PRIDE DUTY GEAR Brand

Types of HERO’S PRIDE DUTY GEAR MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
Rifle magazines are important to carry on your gear for holding M4/AR -15, AK-47, and other kinds of airsoft weapon rifle magazines. These are also called ‘standard’ pouches or simply ‘mag pouches’ because they are pretty basic in style. They are among the initial styles of pouches developed to carry extra magazines with you in the field. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for included security that is normally attached with Velcro. The flap could include a plastic side-release buckle depending upon pouch design. In addition to being offered from many tactical equipment companies in the airsoft industry, basic rifle magazine pouches are durable and among the most economical ways to hold magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches resemble the standard mag pouches with a few modifications. As the tactical pouch name implies, this pouch design eliminates the flap leaving an open top to put in and take out magazines. This enables quiet access and increased speed while reloading guns or accessing equipment. These mag pouches can be available in triple or single magazine holding setups.
Open Top MOLLE Magazine Pouches with Retention
Open top magazine pouches with retention systems are the most recent and most innovative type of tactical mag pouches. The retention systems are developed into the magazine pocket so that it carries the magazine firmly under stretchy bungees. In order to make mag accessibility easier and reloads faster than ever before, this design of tactical pouch makes use of MOLLE accessories so it can be installed at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest. The pouch elements are generally made from ABS construction.
The HERO’S PRIDE DUTY GEAR brand also makes retention mag pouches like the FastMag style use varying types of retention to grip the magazines and offer security including bungee cables or rubberized tension bands (depending upon maker). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and using a hard pull up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the bungee straps securely hold the magazines so you don’t have to think about losing the mag during fast motions, crawling, climbing, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
HERO’S PRIDE DUTY GEAR MOLLE Airsoft Gun Pistol Magazine Pouches
Pistol magazine pouches come in similar styles to the rifle pouches with standard flip top, open top, and open top with retention designs of tactical pouches. The pistol magazine pouches which come in the standard design have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a number of basic pistol pouches which secure airsoft weapon magazines very well with this resilient Velcro flip top style.
The open top and open top with retention pistol pouches are the most frequently found versions of pistol pouches. A lot of the same manufacturers which make rifle mag pouches make matching handgun magazine pouches in the exact same design. This includes companies like Blue Force Gear, and High Speed Gear. Both of their rifle mag pouch designs are excellent quality, usable, and are duplicated 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 cost of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equates to about a seventy-five percent (75%) savings over buying all 6 individually (3x rifle and 3x handgun magazines).
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a magazine recovery pouches) create a spot for you to discard empty magazines and other gear into during gunfights. Some dump pouches even have drawstring tops for extra security while on the run with a full pouch.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft equipment loadout. IFAK stands for individual first aid kit and consists of the medical gear airsoft players need when they have to patch up a scrape or wound on the field. A first aid kit must include the following items: medical tape or fabric 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 room for carrying a Leatherman, folded maps, pens, compasses, and other field gear. These pouches are basic use pouches for odds and ends which don’t go anywhere else generally. Think of things like extra airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they do not have their own separate pouch), and other equipment you may need on the airsoft field or in a tactical scenario.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Attachments
Lots of airsoft units talk on radios and communications devices on the field. Using a radio pouch with MOLLE accessories helps you secure your communications gear while moving.
