About MOLLE Pouches and Gear
The HSGI Duty Pistol Taco Pouch U-Mount is a tactical pouch. Many tactical pouches connect with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop design attachments. MOLLE straps provide a versatile way for users to select the mounting place and position of the pouch and mount them anywhere on equipment where there is a MOLLE attachment panel area.
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE stands for Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and defines the pouches, panels, and straps which are adopted in the MOLLE gear system. Now that we know what MOLLE is and how it works, let’s look at some of the leading MOLLE pouches you can put on your airsoft equipment beginning with airsoft weapon magazine pouches.

MOLLE tactical pouches are available in all colors and camo patterns. Typical pouch colors consist of: black, tan, OD green (olive drab), foliage green (sage), ranger green, and grey. Common pouch camouflage patterns include: forest, desert, A-TACs, Multicam, ACU (Army Combat Uniform), digital, and others. Take a look at the example swatches below for what they look like:

Types of HSGI MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are usually called ‘basic’ pouches or simply ‘mag pouches’ because they are quite basic in style. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for extra security that is generally fastened with Velcro. In addition to being available from lots of tactical gear companies in the airsoft industry, standard rifle magazine pouches are long lasting and one of the most inexpensive methods to carry magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouch types resemble the basic mag pouches with a few enhancements. As the tactical pouch name implies, this pouch design removes the flap leaving an open top to insert and extract magazines. This enables silent access and increased speed while accessing or swapping weapon gear. These mag pouches can come in triple or single magazine holding setups.
Open Top MOLLE Magazine Pouches with Retention
Open top magazine pouches with retention systems are the most recent and most advanced type of tactical mag pouches. In order to make mag accessibility simpler and reloads faster than ever, this design of tactical pouch utilizes MOLLE attachments so it can be installed at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest.
The HSGI brand also makes retention mag pouches like the FastMag design use varying kinds of retention to grip the magazines and provide security including bungee cords or rubberized tension bands (depending on maker). 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 bungee straps safely hold the magazines so you do not have to worry about losing the mag during quick motions, crawling, climbing over things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
HSGI MOLLE Airsoft Gun Handgun Magazine Pouches
Handgun 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 standard style have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a couple of basic handgun pouches which secure airsoft gun magazines very well with this long lasting Velcro flip top style.
The open top and open top with retention pistol pouches are the most commonly chosen versions of handgun pouches. A number of the same companies that make rifle mag pouches make matching handgun magazine pouches in the very same style. This includes companies like Blue Force Gear, and High Speed Gear. Both of their rifle mag pouch styles are exceptional quality, usable, and are replicated by airsoft pouch companies.
Combo Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired design of pouch featuring both a rifle and handgun magazine. Two is typically much better than one. This pouch proves this to be correct because it saves you money from needing to buy two pouches. For example, the cost of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equals about a seventy-five percent (75%) cost savings over buying all 6 individually (3x rifle and 3x pistol magazines). Never buy pouches one at a time when you can get them grouped.
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a clip retrieval pouches) make a space for you to discard empty magazines and other gear into rapidly. These tactical pouches are typically carried on tactical belts 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 clips after reloads, extra airsoft BBs/shells, and other tac gear while on the battlefield. Some dump pouches also have drawstring tops for extra security while moving with a pouch that is full.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft equipment loadout. IFAK is an acronym meaning individual first aid kit and consists of the medical gear airsoft players need when they need to patch up a cut or wound on the field. A first aid kit must include the following items: medical tape or fabric tape, Band-Aids or adhesive bandages, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, rolled bandages, several 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 a place for carrying 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 normally. Think spare airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they don’t have their own specific pouch), and other equipment you may need on the airsoft field or in a tactical situation.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Attachments
Lots of airsoft organizations use communications and radios equipment on the field. Running a radio pouch with MOLLE accessories helps you secure your communications gear while moving. These little radio pouches will hold most walkie-talkies and family band radios like the Motorola TALKABOUT T800 series and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
