About MOLLE Pouches and Equipment
The HSGI – Pistol Taco – Adaptable Belt Mount is a tactical pouch. Many tactical pouches attach with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop style accessories.

What is MOLLE?
MOLLE stands for Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and refers to the pouches, panels, and straps which are utilized in the MOLLE equipment system.

About the HSGI Brand
The HSGI brand is quite prominently known as a quality brand. They manufacture excellent quality airsoft pouches and other products. You can find answers on the brand’s site if you have questions about their airsoft gear or client service questions.
Types of HSGI MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are also called ‘standard’ pouches or simply ‘mag pouches’ due to the fact that they are quite basic in design. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for extra security that is usually attached with Velcro. In addition to being available from many tactical gear companies in the airsoft industry, standard rifle magazine pouches are resilient and one of the most inexpensive ways to carry magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouch types resemble the basic mag pouches with a couple of alterations. As the tactical pouch name implies, this pouch design eliminates the flap leaving an open top to put in and extract magazines. This allows quiet access and increased speed while accessing or reloading gun pouches. These mag pouches can be found in single or triple magazine holding setups.
Open Top MOLLE Magazine Pouches with Retention
Open top magazine pouches with retention systems are the latest and most advanced kind of tactical mag pouches. The retention systems are built into the magazine pocket so that it holds the magazine firmly under stretchy bungees. In order to make mag access easier and reloads faster than ever before, this design of tactical pouch uses MOLLE accessories so it can be installed at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest. The pouch parts are generally made of ABS components.
The HSGI brand also makes retention mag pouches like the FastMag style use differing kinds of retention to grip the magazines and offer security including bungee cables or rubberized bungee bands (depending on maker). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and providing a hard pull up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the tension straps firmly hold the magazines so you don’t have to think about losing the mag during fast movements, crawling, climbing up things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
HSGI MOLLE Airsoft Weapon Handgun Magazine Pouches
Handgun magazine pouches can be found in similar designs to the rifle pouches with basic 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 few standard pistol pouches which secure airsoft gun magazines very well with this durable Velcro flip top style.
The open top and open top with retention pistol pouches are the most frequently used variations of pistol pouches. Many of the same companies which make rifle mag pouches make matching pistol magazine pouches in the exact 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 cost of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equals about a seventy-five percent (75%) cost savings over buying all six separately (3x rifle and 3x pistol magazines).
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a clip recovery pouches) make a space for you to throw empty mags and other things into quickly during firefights. These tactical pouches are generally held in a rolled up position and secured by a button or strap. The pouch can be quickly unrolled to increase in size and hold empty magazines after reloads, additional airsoft BBs/shells, and other equipment while in the field. Some dump pouches even 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 stands for individual first aid kit and contains the equipment airsoft players require when they have to patch up a cut or injury on the field. An emergency treatment kit must include the following items: medical tape or fabric tape, Band-Aids or adhesive bandages, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, rolled gauze bandages, a number of sterile gauze pads, antibacterial wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, cutting shears, tweezers, and Other items.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches make room for carrying a Leatherman, folded maps, pens, compasses, 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 don’t have their own unique pouch), and other gear you may require on the airsoft field or in a tactical situation.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Attachments
Many airsoft organizations carry radios and communications equipment in the field. Using a radio pouch with MOLLE accessories helps you secure your communications equipment while moving. These little radio pouches will hold most walkie-talkies and portable radios like the Motorola TALKABOUT T800 models and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
