TonytheTiger Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 My back pocket at the moment. Kinda funny how many thousands of $ I've spent on guns and parts and I'm just now putting my belt rig together. Screwed up priorities I guess.

pcs352 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 The ready tactical is pretty hard to beat....I'd pick it up from this fella.

EkuJustice Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Have a bladetech injected molded one I clip on for the sole purpose of reload from belt stages. For regular stages, I put an appropriate mag in the gun to finish the stage. I just throw a spare in the back pocket as kinda an emergency mag. I havent needed to use it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shel6977 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I use some similar to the ready tactical. They are made of by Kytex I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJW Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 HSGI TACO nylon pouch. It retains very well and I have never had the issue with a magazine binding as has been the case with the kydex holders I have tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connermorrow Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I ordered a safariland one for my dad for Christmas. We can check it out before I give it to him.. And try to make one like it with kydex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KY1911 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Fastest reload is the one you don't have to make. Get a Magpul 40 and stick a TTI extension on there. Use a mag pouch for emergency and/or required reloads from the belt and then have two 30 rounders coupled. 3Gun is like golf - you don't know which club your going to need until you step up to the ball. Blade Tech AR pouch for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtired Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I found a nice one on Ebay, carbon fiber kydex that matches my holster. The CCW 4 round shot shell holders work as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alita Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 HSGI TACO nylon pouch. It retains very well and I have never had the issue with a magazine binding as has been the case with the kydex holders I have tried. +1 Also the added benifit of when picking up someone elses mags during range reset, AK / .308's or sti/glock/m&p/1911's, they still fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connermorrow Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 New comp-tac mag holder. Retention is good and they kind of pop out easily. Also bullets can face either direction. And is adjustable for cant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJW Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 New comp-tac mag holder. Retention is good and they kind of pop out easily. Also bullets can face either direction. And is adjustable for cant. I'll see your "either direction" and raise you "upside down or right-side up" for the TACOs. Why would we care about this? Well, trying out a suggestion I ran across on this forum, when I hit a stage with a required off-the-belt reload (like Times 223) I move the TACO to front-left (in front of my pistol mag pouches, as I shoot righty), insert a long (40+ round) magazine upright with bullets facing the right, and then merely have to drop my hand straight down when I get to the reload. It's fast—you basically just lift the mag straight into the rifle with a travel distance of less than 12 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTKlaus Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) does it really matter? I say yes and no. I use what I feel comfortable and train with. Most matches I see, from new guys to pros run Safariland, Bladetech or Comptac. I have use all of those plus some others over the years (to include HSGI tacos). Second, is budget, and you can do very well with some mag carriers that are dirt cheap, or home made out of kydex. I currently run my own kydex gear.

v1911 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 The thigh pocket on my woolrich pants. Makes for an effective mag pouch and it didn't cost me a darn thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mngunguy Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I use the Safariland 774. Cheap, adjustable and holds the mag nice and snug. Note that you need to supply your own belt loop, ELS fork or teklok. http://www.amazon.com/Safariland-Competition-Magazine-Holder-Tactical/dp/B003YD0KZU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jacket Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Another vote for Bladetech. And I haven't had to go to mine too many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be found with the Safariland belt clip, but it isn't as nice as the techlok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txolds442 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 KY1911, hit the nail on the head. The fastest reload is the one you don’t have to make. I use a 40rd pmag with a TTI extension. I use a kydex pouch made locally that has pretty tight retention (which I like for this application) and tight to the body just in case i have a huge stage goof or theres a mandatory reload. It's lightweight and since it’s tight against the body, its not uncomfortable while prone (big guy problems) or on barricades. I’ve had some screws from some popular brands work themselves loose during a match that could have potentially been a problem. I'm not sure where in Texas you are, but Storm Holsters does great kydex work. Shoot me a pm if you want their contact info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stlhead Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Matches that do not require reloads or unloading and reloading, or empty rifle starts are lame. I like the safari land kydex one. I also like it horizontal so it does not catch on everything or bounce out when I run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakman Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I've used the BladeTech, the Safariland, and a Maxpedition 2-mag open-top mag pouches. They all do their job. I could never get the BT pouch loose enough for my tastes without completely backing out the tension screw. The Safariland is working out great.
