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 kinds of airsoft gun rifle magazines. These are also called ‘basic’ pouches or just ‘mag pouches’ because they are pretty basic in design. They are one of the original styles 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 generally secured with Velcro. The flap could feature a plastic side-release buckle depending on pouch design. In addition to being available from lots of tactical gear companies in the airsoft industry, standard rifle magazine pouches are durable and among the most economical ways to hold magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are comparable to the standard mag pouches with a couple of adjustments. As the tactical pouch name implies, this pouch design removes the flap leaving an open top to insert and take out magazines.
Open Top MOLLE Magazine Pouches with Retention
Open top magazine pouches with retention systems are the newest and most advanced 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 magazine reloads faster than ever before, this design of tactical pouch makes use of MOLLE accessories so it can be installed at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest. The pouch parts are usually made of ABS construction.
The Boston Leather brand also makes retention magazine pouches like the FastMag style use varying types of retention to grip the magazines and provide security including bungee cables or rubberized stress bands (depending upon maker). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and giving it a hard yank up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the stress straps securely hold the magazines so you don’t have to be concerned about losing the mag during quick movements, crawling, climbing, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
Boston Leather MOLLE Airsoft Weapon Pistol Magazine Pouches
Handgun magazine pouches can be found in related 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 come in the basic design have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a few 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 handgun pouches are the most frequently found variations of handgun pouches. Most of the same manufacturers that make rifle mag pouches make matching handgun magazine pouches in the same style. This consists of manufacturers like Blue Force Gear, and High Speed Gear. Both of their rifle mag pouch designs are excellent quality, usable, and are replicated 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 purchasing all six individually (3x rifle and 3x pistol magazines).
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a mag recovery pouches) create a spot for you to discard empty mags and other gear into quickly. These tactical pouches are usually held 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, additional airsoft BBs/shells, and other tac gear while on the field. Some dump pouches even have drawstring tops for added closure security while moving with a filled pouch.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches

IFAK means individual first aid kit and contains 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 products.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches create space for holding tools, folded maps, pens, compasses, and other field items. These pouches are basic use pouches for odds and ends which do not go anywhere else usually. You can carry things like spare airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they don’t have their own separate pouch), and other gear you might need on the airsoft field or tactical situation.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Attachments
Lots of airsoft organizations work with communications and radios equipment on the field. Adopting a radio pouch with MOLLE attachments helps you secure your communications gear while moving.
