AshOnSnow Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Looking for some advice on pistol mag pouches - I'm going to be primarily running a sniper load out as of next week, which means I want a much lighter load carrying system - I've decided to go with a battle belt (those viper lazer ones might be cheap but they actually look decent with the slightly raised back, and molle all around), and a harness (condor h). I run a P226 with 4 mags, and having all 4 is pretty important to me - I had my AEG battery die last game, and it really made me appreciate my pistol - even being able to suppress a couple guys in a building for a couple minutes with 70 rounds or so - so the 100 odd rounds of ammunition on my sidearm is important. it brings me to choosing new pouches for my pistol mags - up until now, I had m4 kangaroo pouches for them, but since I'm switching over, they won't be much use to me. I've never used the fast mag style pouches - kind of the mag equivalent of a Serpa holster. Polymer pouches with fast draw and strong retention. Has anyone had experience with these? They look promising the other type of pouches that came to mind were bungee retentions, but I don't know how well that would work with the angle of a pistol mag. ideally, I want to have 2 double pouches to save on space, which I'll wear on the left side of the battle belt. My pistol I'll have on the right hand side of the hip, with maybe a dump pouch behind just for dropping the pistol mag in while in safe zones, or picking up the odd objective item if I get the opportunity (not too likely in the sniper role). Also need to get a decent radio pouch for my harness to wear on the left hand side, and perhaps a grenade pouch or two on the right (but thunderflashes fit really well just on the molle webbing itself so may just stick with that). in terms of budget, I don't mind paying a bit of a premium for good products, but Airsoft is just fun after all, so some mil-spec $50-a-piece pouches aren't really what I'm looking for. Already spent £80 on comms, £550 on a gun and £120 on new eye pro after my last ones got busted these past few weeks, Airsoft is hella expensive! Could have had a five star all inclusive fortnight in morocco by now If I can get this whole belt and pouch setup done for £80 or under, I'll be a happy man.

lemon191 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 The retention one work well and remove the noise and annoying factor of velcro pouches . only issue really is they don't protect the mag if your crawling around etc so you may get the mags dirty , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemon191 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 The nuprol ones are decent and seem to work well considering the price. Should be easy enough to get hold of anywhere these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
