About MOLLE Pouches and Equipment
The BLACKHAWK S.T.R.I.K.E. Utility Pouch is a tactical pouch. Most tactical pouches connect with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop style accessories. MOLLE pouches have recently become popular in the last several years due to tactical innovations and gear efficiency focused products. They are the top choice for securing military design pouches to tactical gear, vests, range bags, and other types of equipment. MOLLE straps provide a flexible method for users to select the mounting location and position of the pouch and install them anywhere on gear where there is a MOLLE accessory panel area. The only constraint ends up being which pouches to manage and where to position them.
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE is an acronym for Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and refers to the pouches, panels, and straps which are managed in the MOLLE gear system. Here are the 3 parts of the installing system: MOLLE straps, pouches, and panels. Mounting tactical pouches is simple and fast. Just thread the straps and snap the buttons to secure them in place. Now that we know what MOLLE is and how the system works, let’s have a look at a few of the most functional MOLLE pouches you can attach to your airsoft gear starting with airsoft weapon magazine pouches.
Colors of MOLLE Pouches and Camouflage Patterns
MOLLE tactical pouches come in lots of different colors and camouflage patterns.

Types of BLACKHAWK MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are usually called ‘standard’ pouches or just ‘mag pouches’ since they are pretty basic in design. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for added 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 durable and one of the most cost effective methods to carry magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are similar to the basic mag pouches with a couple of alterations. As the tactical pouch name indicates, this pouch style gets rid of the flap leaving an open top to insert and remove magazines.
Open Top MOLLE Magazine Pouches with Retention
Open top magazine pouches with retention systems are the newest and most sophisticated kind of tactical mag pouches. The retention systems are constructed into the magazine pocket so that it carries the magazine firmly under pressure. In order to make mag access easier and reloads faster than ever before, this style of tactical pouch utilizes MOLLE accessories so it can be installed at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest. The pouch components are generally made of ABS construction.
The BLACKHAWK brand also makes retention magazine pouches like the FastMag style use varying kinds of retention to grip the magazines and provide security including bungee cords or rubberized stress bands (depending on manufacturer). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and using a hard tug up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the stress straps safely hold the magazines so you do not need to worry about losing the mag during quick motions, crawling, climbing, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
BLACKHAWK MOLLE Airsoft Gun Handgun Magazine Pouches
Pistol magazine pouches are available in related designs to the rifle pouches with basic flip top, open top, and open top with retention designs of tactical pouches. The handgun magazine pouches which are available in the basic style have a Velcro flap. Condor makes several basic pistol pouches which secure airsoft weapon magazines very well with this resilient Velcro flip top design.
The open top and open top with retention pistol pouches are the most frequently used versions of handgun pouches. Many of the same companies which make rifle mag pouches make matching pistol magazine pouches in the very same style.
Combination Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired design of pouch featuring both a rifle and pistol magazine. A pair of mags are normally better than one. This pouch proves this to be correct given that it saves you money from needing to purchase two separate pouches. For instance, the expense of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equates to about a seventy-five percent (75%) savings over purchasing all six separately (3x rifle and 3x pistol magazines). Never purchase pouches one at a time when you can get them together.
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a mag collection pouches) make a space for you to throw empty mags and other things into quickly in the field. These tactical pouches are typically carried in a rolled up position and secured by a snap or strap. The pouch can be quickly unrolled to increase in size and hold empty mags after reloads, extra airsoft BBs/shells, and other tactical gear while on the battlefield. Some dump pouches even have drawstring tops for extra security while moving with a filled pouch.
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 medical gear airsoft players need when they have to patch up a gash or injury on the field. An emergency treatment kit should 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, antiseptic wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, trauma shears, tweezers, and Other products.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches make room for carrying a Leatherman, folded maps, pens, and other field items. These pouches are general 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 do not have their own separate pouch), and other equipment you may need on the airsoft field or in a tactical situation.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Attachments
Many airsoft organizations talk on communications and radios equipment on the field. Applying a radio pouch with MOLLE attachments helps you secure your communications equipment while moving. These small radio pouches will hold most walkie-talkies and portable radios like the Motorola TALKABOUT T800 models and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
