MP5 Mag Pouches

[Libberz]

Hello!

 

Looking to upgrade from my Viper extended pistol mag pouches for my MP5 (NGRS) mags.

 

Interested to know what people are using? Ideally open top molle, suitable for use with magpuls.

 

Cheers

I've got a set of OPS Quattro SMG Pocket / Panel pouches for my mp7, which also fits mp5 mags. 
Comes with either bungee closure or flaps, and inside you can adjust the height for a better fit. 

I believe they also do them in doubles too.

Could step up to the actual HSGI Extended Pistol TACOs, that's the closest thing I know of to a PALS mounted shingle-style pouch for SMG type mags.

 

Any of these BULLE pouches will be sweet, can just tuck the flaps in:

Most SMG options are inserts for placards these days though, so consider that type of rig too as an option.  Bigger buy I know but can be worth it in the long run.

I've got HSGI tacos in both pistol and extended pistol and both work, although the extended give you more coverage unsurprisingly.

 

A lot of it can come down to play style and what other guns and rigs you run. You haven't mentioned if this is for belt or chest/plate carrier or both.

 

For example, HSGI do a taco that's rifle+pistol, so if you often run an M4 but also have occasional MP5 you can use it for either.

Alternatively if it's a more dedicated mp5 plate carrying rig, you might want all 4 to be quick draw across the chest (although I find this awkward with long mags and prefer a belt draw).

 

You generally don't *need* more than one or two of the tacos in my view. I have a couple on the belt since I tend to quick reload from those and then top them up from additional closed pouches on a chest rig in a lull.

I use ops and viper insert for smg mags. I much prefer the ops panel over the insert. Not elastic pouch but snug so you can run covers, bungees or open.

I also use the bulle triple mp5 mag pouch. They have enough retention to be use as open top pouches with the flap-stuffing method (technical term). Plus you can cover the mags if you're doing something more daring like rolling around in mud, or using gas smg or long pistol mags with them.

These are also good. I have a few for my (many) mp9 mags:

Outside of that I have a pair of Viper triple pouches on a front panel for my plate carrier.

I got these in    long and short, the short ones are snug enuf to hold normal mags, the long ones obviously more secure. Both are very snug and you can cinch the bungee up more if you wanted.
