About MOLLE Pouches and Equipment
The Boston Leather 5489-1 Collapsible Baton Holder16 F is a tactical pouch. Most tactical pouches attach with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop style attachments. MOLLE pouches have recently become popular in the last few years due to tactical innovations and inventions. They are the top choice for securing military style pouches to military gear, vests, range bags, and other kinds of equipment. MOLLE straps provide a flexible way for users to choose the mounting location and position of the pouch and install them anywhere on equipment where there is a MOLLE accessory panel location. The only limitation becomes which pouches to manage and where to put them.

Types of Boston Leather MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
Rifle magazines are important to have on your gear for holding M4/AR -15, AK-47, and other types of airsoft gun rifle magazines. These are usually called ‘basic’ pouches or simply ‘mag pouches’ because they are pretty standard in design. They are one of the initial designs of pouches developed to carry extra magazines with you in the field. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for added security that is normally fastened with Velcro. The flap could feature a plastic side-release buckle depending on pouch design. In addition to being available from many tactical gear companies in the airsoft industry, standard rifle magazine pouches are durable and one of the most inexpensive ways to carry magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are similar to the standard mag pouches with a few adjustments. As the tactical pouch name implies, this pouch design removes the flap leaving an open top to insert and extract magazines. This enables quiet access and increased speed while accessing or reloading gun pouches. 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. The retention systems are developed into the magazine pocket so that it carries the magazine firmly under pressure. In order to make mag accessibility simpler and reloads faster than ever before, this style of tactical pouch makes use of MOLLE accessories so it can be installed at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest. The pouch components are normally made from ABS components.
The Boston Leather brand also makes retention mag pouches like the FastMag style use differing types of retention to grip the magazines and offer security including bungee cables or rubberized bungee bands (depending upon producer). 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 safely hold the magazines so you do not have to think about losing the mag during quick motions, crawling, climbing, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
Boston Leather MOLLE Airsoft Weapon Pistol Magazine Pouches
Pistol magazine pouches come in similar designs to the rifle pouches with standard flip top, open top, and open top with retention styles of tactical pouches. The handgun magazine pouches which can be found in the standard style have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a couple of standard handgun pouches which secure airsoft gun magazines effectively with this durable Velcro flip top style.
The open top and open top with retention handgun pouches are the most commonly chosen variations of handgun pouches. A number of the same companies which make rifle mag pouches make matching handgun magazine pouches in the same style. This consists of companies like Blue Force Gear, and High Speed Gear. Both of their rifle mag pouch designs are outstanding quality, functional, and are duplicated by airsoft pouch companies.
Combination Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired style 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 buying all 6 independently (3x rifle and 3x pistol magazines).
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a magazine retrieval pouches) create an area for you to ditch empty magazines and other things into rapidly. Some dump pouches also have drawstring tops for extra 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 need when they need to patch up a gash or injury on the field. A first aid kit needs to include the following items: medical tape or cloth 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 make room for holding multitools, folded maps, pens, compasses, and other field gear. These pouches are basic use pouches for odds and ends which do not go anywhere else usually. Think spare airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they don’t have their own specific pouch), and other gear you may need on the airsoft field or in a tactical scenario.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Accessories
Lots of airsoft teams talk on communications and radios equipment in the field. Running a radio pouch with MOLLE attachments helps you secure your communications equipment while moving.
