About MOLLE Pouches and Equipment
The Safariland Model 170 Silent Key Holder 170-4B is a tactical pouch. Many tactical pouches connect with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop design accessories. MOLLE pouches have just recently become popular in the last several years due to tactical innovations and inventions.

MOLLE straps provide a unique method for users to choose the mounting place and position of the pouch and install them anywhere on equipment where there is a MOLLE accessory panel area. The only limitation becomes which pouches to use and where to place them.

Kinds Of Safariland MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
Rifle magazines are essential to carry on your gear for holding M4/AR -15, AK-47, and other types of airsoft weapon rifle magazines. These are also called ‘standard’ pouches or just ‘mag pouches’ due to the fact that they are pretty standard in design. They are among the initial designs of pouches developed to carry spare magazines with you in the field. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for added security that is generally secured with Velcro. The flap might include a plastic side-release buckle depending on pouch design. In addition to being available from lots of tactical equipment companies in the airsoft industry, standard rifle magazine pouches are durable and among the most budget friendly methods to hold magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are similar to the basic mag pouches with a couple of adjustments. As the tactical pouch name indicates, this pouch style removes the flap leaving an open top to place and remove magazines. This allows quiet access and increased speed while reloading weapons or accessing pouches. These mag pouches can be found 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 sophisticated type of tactical mag pouches. In order to make mag access a lot easier and reloads faster than before, this style of tactical pouch utilizes MOLLE attachments so it can be installed at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest.
The Safariland 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 manufacturer). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and giving it a hard pull up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the bungee straps firmly hold the magazines so you don’t have to worry about losing the mag during quick motions, crawling, climbing, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
Safariland MOLLE Airsoft Gun Pistol Magazine Pouches
Handgun magazine pouches are available in similar styles to the rifle pouches with basic flip top, open top, and open top with retention designs of tactical pouches. The pistol magazine pouches which come in the basic style have a Velcro flap. Condor makes several standard handgun 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 commonly seen versions of pistol pouches. A lot of the same manufacturers that make rifle mag pouches make matching pistol magazine pouches in the very same design. This consists of manufacturers like Blue Force Gear, and High Speed Gear. Both of their rifle mag pouch styles are exceptional quality, functional, and are replicated by airsoft pouch companies.
Combination Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired style of pouch featuring both a rifle and pistol magazine. The expense of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equals about a seventy-five percent (75%) cost savings over purchasing all 6 independently (3x rifle and 3x pistol magazines).
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a magazine retrieval pouches) create a spot for you to throw empty mags and other things into during gunfights. Some dump pouches also have drawstring closure tops for additional security while moving on the run with a full pouch.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft equipment loadout. IFAK means individual first aid kit and consists of the equipment airsoft players need when they need to patch up a scrape or injury on the field. A first aid kit needs to include the following items: medical tape or fabric tape, Band-Aids or adhesive bandages, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, rolled gauze, several sterile gauze pads, antiseptic wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, trauma shears, tweezers, and Other items.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches make room for carrying tools, folded maps, pens, compasses, and other field supplies. These pouches are basic use pouches for odds and ends which do not go anywhere else normally. You can carry things like extra airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they don’t have their own specific pouch), and other gear you might require on the airsoft field or tactical situation.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Attachments
Lots of airsoft teams carry radios and communications equipment on the field. Using a radio pouch with MOLLE attachments helps you secure your communications equipment while moving.
