Many tactical pouches connect with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop design accessories.

About the 5.11 Brand
The 5.11 brand is quite well-known as a quality pouch manufacturer. They create pretty good quality airsoft pouches and other gear. If you have questions about their tactical pouches or customer inquiries, you can find more information on the brand’s business website.
Types of 5.11 MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are usually called ‘basic’ pouches or just ‘mag pouches’ since they are quite basic in design. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for extra security that is generally secured with Velcro. In addition to being available from many tactical equipment companies in the airsoft industry, basic rifle magazine pouches are long lasting and one of the most budget friendly methods to carry magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are similar to the standard mag pouches with a few enhancements. As the tactical pouch name implies, this pouch design eliminates the flap leaving an open top to insert and extract magazines. This allows silent access and increased speed while reloading weapons or accessing equipment. These mag pouches can be available in single or triple magazine holding setups.
Open Top MOLLE Magazine Pouches with Retention
Open top magazine pouches with retention systems are the newest and most innovative type of tactical mag pouches. In order to make mag accessibility simpler and magazine reloads faster than before, this style of tactical pouch makes use of MOLLE straps so it can be mounted at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest.
The 5.11 brand also makes retention magazine pouches like the FastMag style use differing kinds of retention to grip the magazines and offer security including bungee cables or rubberized bungee bands (depending on producer). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and providing a hard yank up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the tension straps firmly hold the magazines so you do not need to worry about losing the mag during quick movements, crawling, climbing over things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
5.11 MOLLE Airsoft Weapon Handgun Magazine Pouches
Handgun magazine pouches come in related designs 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 standard style have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a number of standard pistol pouches which secure airsoft weapon magazines very well with this resilient Velcro flip top design.
The open top and open top with retention handgun pouches are the most typically found variations of pistol pouches. Many of the same companies which make rifle mag pouches make matching handgun magazine pouches in the same style.
Combo Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired style of pouch featuring both a rifle and pistol magazine. A pair of mags are usually far better than one. This pouch proves this to be accurate because it saves you cash from needing to purchase two pouches. The cost of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equals about a seventy-five percent (75%) cost savings over purchasing all 6 separately (3x rifle and 3x pistol magazines). Never ever purchase pouches individually which you can get them together.
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a magazine retrieval pouches) make an area for you to throw empty magazines and other things into rapidly. Some dump pouches even have drawstring closure tops for additional security while on the run with a full pouch.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft gear loadout. IFAK stands for individual first aid kit and contains the equipment airsoft players require when they need to patch up a scrape or wound on the field. An emergency treatment pack must include the following items: medical tape or cloth tape, Band-Aids or adhesive bandages, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, rolled gauze, a number of sterile gauze pads, antibacterial wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, cutting shears, tweezers, and Other products.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches create room for holding multitools, folded maps, pens, and other field gear. These pouches are basic use pouches for odds and ends which do not go anywhere else generally. Think of things like extra airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they don’t have their own unique pouch), and other gear you may need on the airsoft field or in a tactical circumstance.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Accessories
Lots of airsoft organizations manage communications and radios equipment on the field. Running a radio pouch with MOLLE accessories helps you secure your communications equipment while moving. These little radio pouches will hold most walkie-talkies and radio handsets like the Motorola TALKABOUT T800 models and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
