ES13Raven Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I have been having trouble with getting my mags out of the mag pouches during a match. I switched over to a CZ from a Glock 34. I really liked the Comp-Tac holster and twin mag pouch that I used with my G34, so I ordered a set for my CZ SP-01. The holster is working fine, but the mags will bind unless they are pulled straight up. I was reloading on the move during a match and pulled so hard that the entire twin mag pouch came off my belt. I wear a CR Speed EDC belt, which does not have much give. It keeps the angle of the mag pouch slightly inward. I also have a Wilderness Instructor belt, and the issue is not as bad but still happens. If the mags are pulled at a slight angle (any direction), they will not come out. If they are pulled straight up, they come out fine. This is not a adjustment screw issue, as they come out very easy straight up. I never had this issue with the Glock mags. I'm guessing because they are plastic and the Mec-Gar mags are metal. The obvious answer is to re-train myself to pull the mags straight up, but I would rather adjust the equipment if I can. Is this just a CompTac issue, or does anyone else find this with other brands? Anything I can do to the mags or pouch that will fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Comp-Tac gear is bindy junk in my experience. You'll be happier with DAA or Ghost pouches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ES13Raven Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Forgot to say that I shoot IDPA and Production, so mag pouches need to be legal for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Forgot to say that I shoot IDPA and Production, so mag pouches need to be legal for both. I think that philosophy will be really limiting in USPSA. I went that same route for a while. Now I have a uspsa rig with good stuff where I want it that I can get to quickly, and when I shoot idpa, I still use the old double mag pouch on my regular belt.

johnsons1480 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Give these a try. I really liked them for my Glock in Production. I'm running some CR Speed pouches for my CZ, but that's because I had them lying around. If not, I would have given serious thought to the Ready Tactical pouches. http://cpwsa.com/collections/magazine-pouches/products/ready-tactical-pistol-mag-pouch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goosedowner Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 This is what I'm using for my Glock now and I'm planning on using the same thing only ones made for the XD for my CZ. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00162NYP4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickboy44 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Ghost pouches are smooth no matter how you pull the mag out and inexpensive Edited February 26, 2015 by stickboy44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ES13Raven Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Ghost pouches are smooth no matter how you pull the mag out and inexpensive I don't think Ghost pouches are legal either: "Question: Are the Ghost 360 magazine pouches which carry magazines in a “bullets out” configuration allowed in IDPA? Answer: No. “Bullets out” magazine pouches protrude from the belt considerably more than normal magazine carriers and are not suitable for all day carry."

ES13Raven Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) I guess the Ghost pouches are legal if you use the standard configuration? Edit: Maybe not: "8.6.2. Magazine Carrier Rules - Magazine carriers must: 8.6.2.4. Cover the entire outer face of the portion of the magazine inside the carrier. The outer face is the side away from the shooter’s body."

rowdyb Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I have run the exact comptac pouches you have and here is what i did. and i have the exact same belts you have. -run them as loose as possible and still keep mags in while running. -ArmorAll the inside of them before every match -take a file and bevel the forward edge of the mag pouch as much as possible. mine is about a 45 degree angle over 1/4 an inch. -wear your pants a little lower and your belt a little snugger.

An IDPA-legal rig will slow you down in USPSA. Plus, a USPSA rig on a double-belt system makes it stupid fast to gear up for dry fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacblack Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I had the same exact issue with my new style comp-tac pouches. I gave up and sold them went back to blade-tech also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
