M4 Magazine Pouch - FAB Defense

Works better with metal mags

This is quality magazine holder for AR-15 style mags. I purchased two of these holders after being unsatisfied with a soft molle-attached magazine pouch I purchased at a local gun show for my tactical vest. I am very satisfied with these holders however, and as other reviewers have mentioned Magpul Pmags TWS Magpul MAG210-DKEAR PMAG 30 round AR15/M16 Magazine (no window) Dark Earth fit perfectly in these holders. These hard plastic shell magazine holders are way better in my opinion than the soft magazine pouch I had since there is no need for strap over top of the magazine and the rigid shape allows for consistent insertion and removal of the magazine especially when you are trying to reload fast.I haven't had the chance to test out running around doing dynamic movement drills extensively with these holders, but for normal range activity they work great. I also did a quick experiment to test the retention capabilities of these holders using US GI and Magpul Pmags by hanging upside down on an inversion table for about 5 minutes. The retention was great with both magazines loaded, neither one fell out of the holder while hanging upside down.Long story short, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase these mag holders again, they are rock solid and well worth the money.

Very easy to use and sturdy. Used it in a carbine competition and I loved it. Magazines fit snug and has a good amount of retention but still easy enough to pull magazines out. Only complaint if you would even call it that is if you hold it upside down and forcefully shake it out the magazine will come out. So as long as you don’t plan on hanging upside down for long periods of time this will work for normal running and gunning and range work

I recently bought two mag pouches. This from Mako and the other one from a well known company costing almost as twice as the Mako. The Mako magazine pouch is in my humble opinión way better. One thing high in my list when looking for gear is simplicity. If a piece of gear is difficult to install, uncomfortable to wear or difficult to remove, I don't get it. Mako mag pouch is extremely easy to install, comfortable to wear all day long and you can remover it in a snap.The most frequent complaint I see about this mag pouch is lack of decent retention. In my opinion, the retention is good or even more than good. I am talking about wearing this mag pouch for tactical applications and tactical training for law enforcement and military. If you are planning to use this for competition, maybe this mag pouch is not the best, but for serious training for law enforcement and/or military this mag pouch meets and exceeds all of the requirements. I recommend this mag pouch 100%.

I'm currently deployed to afghanistan and I wanted to be able to carry to extra mags on my belt for when I'm not wearing my Tac Vest or for when I'm flying with my Air Warrior Vest. I use two of these, one on each side. I have never had a problem with them moving around, my magazines always stayed in place, and they still work great after nearly three months of continuous use.The magazine is held firmly in the pouch and easily attaches to whatever belt you wear. With my mil-issue riggers belt, they attached snuggly with no give. Drawing magazines was easy and smooth and I never had a mag snag in the pouch.,I would highly recommend these pouches for soldiers who want some extra ammo when not wearing their vest (or even with if they wear it high enough), for competition use, police officers, or really any situation that calls for more than thirty rounds of 5.56.
