Tactical Pouch Product Details
CAT Combat Application Tourniquet – GEN 7 (Gray Time-Stamp)
The patented C-A-T is a one-handed tourniquet. Tests proved that the C-A-T completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage. The C-A-T utilizes a durable windlass system with a patented free-moving internal band providing true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once adequately tightened, bleeding will cease and the windlass is locked into place. A hook and loop windlass retention strap is then applied, securing the windlass to maintain pressure during casualty evacuation. The C-A-T’s unique dual securing system avoids the use of screws and clips which can become difficult to operate under survival stress or where fine motor skills are compromised. The patented Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T) features the red tip design and the mechanical advantage of a band within a band. Stabilization Plate – Reinforced, beveled contact bar, improved comfort.

Types of C-A-T RESOURCES MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
Rifle magazines are important to have on your equipment for holding M4/AR -15, AK-47, and other types of airsoft gun rifle magazines. These are usually called ‘standard’ pouches or just ‘mag pouches’ because they are pretty standard in design. They are one of the initial styles of pouches created to carry spare magazines with you in the field. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for included security that is generally fastened with Velcro. The flap might 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, basic rifle magazine pouches are durable and one of the most budget friendly methods to carry magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are comparable to the basic mag pouches with a couple of adjustments. As the tactical pouch name suggests, 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 latest and most innovative type of tactical mag pouches. The retention systems are developed into the magazine pocket so that it carries the magazine securely under pressure. In order to make mag accessibility easier and mag changes faster than ever before, this design of tactical pouch uses MOLLE attachments so it can be installed at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest. The pouch elements are typically made of ABS construction.
The C-A-T RESOURCES brand also makes retention magazine pouches like the FastMag style use differing types of retention to grip the magazines and offer security including bungee cables or rubberized stress bands (depending upon producer). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and giving it a hard tug up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the stress straps securely hold the magazines so you don’t have to worry about losing the mag during quick movements, crawling, climbing, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
C-A-T RESOURCES MOLLE Airsoft Weapon Handgun Magazine Pouches
Handgun magazine pouches can be found in similar styles to the rifle pouches with basic flip top, open top, and open top with retention designs of tactical pouches. The handgun magazine pouches which come in the standard design have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a number of basic pistol 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 typically found variations of handgun pouches. Many of the same companies which make rifle mag pouches make matching pistol magazine pouches in the very same design.
Combination Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired design of pouch featuring both a rifle and handgun magazine. The expense of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equals about a seventy-five percent (75%) cost savings over purchasing all 6 separately (3x rifle and 3x handgun magazines).
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a magazine retrieval pouches) make an area for you to discard empty mags and other gear into during fights. Some dump pouches also have drawstring closure tops for additional security while on the run with a filled pouch.

MOLLE Admin Pouches
