Which Mag Pouches?

[Fishin6061]

I am looking for some new mag pouches for man on man steel/limited shooting and would like some input on what is best concerning adjustability and overall performance. I am looking at the CR Speed Versa, Limcat Transformer,double alpha, and Blade-Tech Bobby McGee Pro Series. I am using M&P mags with TF base-pads. Thanks.

I have not had luck with the Bobby M pro from Bladetech. the adjustment's stripped and flattened out once you got it to where it would hold. I like the CR Speed Versa with a soft side of velcro on the STI insert. Holds the mag well, but doesnt impede removal. My experience is with M&P Mags.

If you're right handed, no problems with CR speed. You might want to look at Safariland 773's, I think the adjustment is a lot more solid than the CR's. Can't recommend the CR's if you're left handed though...they unscrew themselves.

You might also consider using Mach2 tactical mag pouches, I've been using them for a while and they are pretty well made. I also use Blackhawk CQC pouches and Safariland 773's and they all work well.

I setup my wife's M&P rig with CR Speeds and had to put a washer behind the STI spacer. Works pretty well, and the tension adjustment is still completely usable.

SL 773's

Can you adjust the 773's so there straight up so you can use them in IDPA?

I used to have an M&P 9 Pro and had to do the same with the CR Speed which was kind of annoying but they worked. Actually I used a rubber washer and a fiberous washer combo from those bins of weird washers and stuff at Ace hardware. I also have a set of Bladetech Bobby whatever pouches for my G34. I like the CR Speed better because they are easier to adjust and hold the mags very lightly for easy removal. I use the Bladetechs for 3 gun as they hold the mags firmer and can really be clamped down tight. I think the CR speed are faster but you do have to install a washer or something to make them fit the M&P mags.

I have the Safarilands and a Limcat. The Limcat has fantastic adjustment, but the insert doesn't hold the mag securely anymore. The safarilands lack the adjustment away from the body I'm looking for.

I think the double alphas are next on my list to try.

I’m leaning towards the versa pouch. I saw that speed shooter specialties (SSS) has m&p shims for them.
