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 Equipment
The BLACKHAWK Chest Harness is a tactical pouch. The majority of tactical pouches connect with MOLLE snap straps and hook-and-loop design attachments. MOLLE straps provide a flexible method for users to pick the mounting location and position of the pouch and install them anywhere on gear where there is a MOLLE accessory panel area.
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE stands for Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and describes the pouches, panels, and straps which are applied in the MOLLE gear system. Now that we understand what MOLLE is and how it works, let’s look at some of the most effective MOLLE pouches you can include in your airsoft gear beginning with airsoft gun magazine pouches.
Colors of MOLLE Pouches and Camouflage Patterns
MOLLE tactical pouches can be found in all colors and camo patterns. Typical pouch colors consist of: 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. Have a look at the example swatches below for what they appear like:
About the BLACKHAWK Brand
The BLACKHAWK brand is fairly widely known among airsoft players. They make fairly good quality airsoft pouches and other products. You can find information on the brand’s website if you have concerns about their airsoft gear or client service questions.
Types of BLACKHAWK MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are also called ‘standard’ pouches or simply ‘mag pouches’ because they are pretty basic in design. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for added security that is generally fastened 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 budget-friendly methods to hold magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are similar to the standard mag pouches with a few alterations. As the tactical pouch name indicates, this pouch design eliminates the flap leaving an open top to insert and remove magazines. This enables silent access and increased speed while reloading weapons or accessing gear. These mag pouches can be found in single or triple magazine holding setups.
Open Top MOLLE Magazine Pouches with Retention
Open top magazine pouches with retention systems are the most recent and most sophisticated kind of tactical mag pouches. The retention systems are developed into the magazine pocket so that it carries the magazine securely under stretchy bungees. In order to make mag access simpler and reloads faster than ever before, this style of tactical pouch utilizes MOLLE accessories so it can be mounted at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest. The pouch components are typically made of ABS construction.
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 stress bands (depending upon maker). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and providing a hard pull up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the bungee straps firmly hold the magazines so you don’t need to be concerned about losing the mag during fast motions, crawling, climbing over things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
BLACKHAWK MOLLE Airsoft Gun Handgun Magazine Pouches
Handgun magazine pouches are available in related 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 can be found in the basic design have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a number of standard pistol pouches which secure airsoft gun magazines effectively with this durable Velcro flip top design.
The open top and open top with retention handgun pouches are the most typically chosen versions of pistol pouches. A lot of the same manufacturers which make rifle mag pouches make matching pistol magazine pouches in the same style. 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.
Combo Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired design of pouch including both a rifle and handgun magazine. The expense of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equates to about a seventy-five percent (75%) savings over buying all 6 independently (3x rifle and 3x handgun magazines).
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a magazine retrieval pouches) make a space for you to dump empty mags and other gear into quickly during firefights. These tactical pouches are typically held 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 magazines after reloads, extra airsoft BBs/shells, and other tactical gear while on the battlefield. Some dump pouches also have drawstring tops for extra security while moving with a pouch full of empty mags.
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 require when they have to patch up a cut or wound 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 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 holding a Leatherman, folded maps, pens, compasses, and other field supplies. These pouches are general use pouches for odds and ends which don’t go anywhere else usually. Think of things like spare airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they do not have their own separate pouch), and other equipment you might need on the airsoft field or tactical scenario.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Attachments
Many airsoft groups put to use communications and radios devices on the field. Operating a radio pouch with MOLLE attachments helps you secure your communications equipment while moving. These small radio pouches will hold most walkie-talkies and family band radios like the Motorola TALKABOUT T800 models and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
