About us
Blackhawk
In 1990, a Navy SEAL was navigating a minefield when his pack failed. As his gear tumbled to the ground, he vowed that if he got out of there alive he would make gear the right way. 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 S.T.R.I.K.E. Medium Utility Pouch with Speed Clips is a tactical pouch. A lot of tactical pouches connect with MOLLE snap straps and hook-and-loop style attachments. MOLLE straps supply a versatile way for users to select the installation place and position of the pouch and mount them anywhere on gear where there is a MOLLE attachment panel area.
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE stands for Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and refers to the pouches, panels, and straps which are applied in the MOLLE management system. Here are the three parts of the installing system: MOLLE panels, straps, and pouches. Installing tactical pouches is fast and easy. All you have to do is thread the straps and snap the buttons to secure them in place. Now that we know what MOLLE is and how the attachment system works, let’s take a look at some of the most efficient MOLLE pouches you can attach to your airsoft equipment beginning with airsoft weapon mag pouches.

About the BLACKHAWK Brand
The BLACKHAWK brand is fairly well-known as a quality pouch maker. They produce really good quality airsoft equipment and other products. You can find information on the brand’s website if you have questions about their airsoft pouches or client service questions.
Types of BLACKHAWK MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are usually called ‘basic’ pouches or just ‘mag pouches’ since they are pretty standard in design. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for added security that is typically attached with Velcro. In addition to being offered from many tactical gear companies in the airsoft industry, basic rifle magazine pouches are durable and one of the most inexpensive ways to hold 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 gets rid of the flap leaving an open top to place and extract magazines. This allows quiet access and increased speed while reloading weapons or accessing gear. 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 latest and most sophisticated kind of tactical mag pouches. The retention systems are built into the magazine pocket so that it carries the magazine securely under tension. In order to make mag accessibility simpler and reloads faster than ever before, this style of tactical pouch uses MOLLE attachments so it can be installed at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest. The pouch components are generally made from ABS construction.
The BLACKHAWK brand also makes retention mag 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 upon maker). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and providing a hard tug up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the tension straps securely hold the magazines so you do not need to think about losing the mag during quick movements, crawling, climbing over things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
BLACKHAWK MOLLE Airsoft Weapon Pistol Magazine Pouches
Handgun magazine pouches come in similar styles to the rifle pouches with basic 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 handgun pouches which secure airsoft gun magazines effectively with this long lasting Velcro flip top design.
The open top and open top with retention handgun pouches are the most commonly found variations of handgun pouches. Many of the same companies that make rifle mag pouches make matching handgun magazine pouches in the same design. This includes companies like Blue Force Gear, and High Speed Gear. Both of their rifle mag pouch designs are excellent 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 pistol magazine. The cost of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equates to about a seventy-five percent (75%) cost savings over purchasing all 6 independently (3x rifle and 3x handgun magazines).
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a mag collection pouches) make a spot for you to throw empty magazines and other things into rapidly. These tactical pouches are generally carried in a rolled up position and secured by a button or strap. The pouch can be rapidly unrolled to increase in size and hold empty mags after you reload your rifle, extra airsoft BBs/shells, and other tac gear while in the battlefield. 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 consists of the equipment airsoft players require when they need to patch up a cut or wound on the field. A first aid kit should contain the following items: medical tape or fabric tape, Band-Aids or adhesive bandages, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, rolled gauze bandages, a number of sterile gauze pads, antiseptic wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, trauma shears, tweezers, and Other medical products.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches create room for holding a Leatherman, folded maps, pens, and other field gear. These pouches are basic use pouches for odds and ends which do not go anywhere else usually. You can carry things like extra airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they don’t have their own specific pouch), and other equipment you may require on the airsoft field or tactical scenario.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Attachments
Many airsoft groups work with radios and communications equipment in the field. Running 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 models and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
