boudreux Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Does anybody have any experience with kytex mag pouches? http://www.kytexgear.com/products-page/pistol-mag-carriers/glock/fullsize/ Can't afford cr speed or DAA with a new baby so I'm looking for a cheaper alternative. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shel6977 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I used these for my m&p 9 mags all last year in production and a few 3 gun matches. They all held up good. I went to DAA because I wanted to try bullets out this out this year. I think they are great for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louu Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I've only been shooting competition for a little over a year so dont take what what I say to seriously. I think with a little modification and practice you can make anything work for you. I just got these for my new pistol http://www.amazon.com/Safariland-Duty-Gear-Slimline-Magazine/dp/B004DSSTVC For 3 reasons 1. Save money, 2 of them holds 6 mags and it was just over $40 total (I have amazon prime, no shipping charge) 2. Take up less space on my belt for 3 gun. 3. I wanted to try bullets out. After a little practice I was faster than my SS rig with bullets forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superslowmo Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Check these out- Black Scorpion Mag Pouches They can be configured for single and double stack, and are pretty slick. If Safariland gets my order out to me soon, I will have a few of these that I will be getting rid of (4-6).

Althought I have gone DAA for all mys USPSA gear, I still use these pouches for 3gun. The G17 pouch will fit mags from 45, 40 and 9mm for all my M&P needs.

Axel1841 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Just learn how to make your own. Kydex is cheap and its a fun hobby. There are a thousand diy videos on YouTube. You can get kydex on Amazon for dirt cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z40acp Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Go to Shooters Connection and buy the Ghost mag holders. With the BENOS discount they are 4 dollars more each but you can try both bullets regular and bullets out. Plus if you move on they will fit other mags so you won't have to buy again. I bought mine for M&P mags but you can adjust them for STI mags. In the long run they will save money. Plus SC doesn't charge extra for shipping just the shipping.

JoeyMac Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) I have six 1911 kytex pouches. They have solid retention, stay on the belt well and work well for IDPA and carry use as too. They are good, but limited... they only hold mags upright against the body. If you have a spare tire hanging over your belt, you may want a different pouch that has more angle adjustability.

twodownzero Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I use Safariland 771s. If you find them on sale, they're as cheap as the pouches you posted and I think you'll be much happier with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boudreux Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 I ended up going with 771's. They are big but easy to adjust tension and also can adjust for can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeb10 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Good to go. Super simple and very convenient for production shooters who are looking for a better use of belt real estate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 The Kytex look like a close copy of the Ready Tactical that Chris Patty (CPWSA) sells. You might want to check him out before you buy as he is a vendor here and is a big supporter of USPSA and other shooting sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedfatman Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I've been using Kytex mag pouches for Glock 9mm. IDPA, USPSA, 3gun, multi gun, steel. They are lite and minimalistic, but do the job great. Got the 1 3/4" belt loop so they fit on my outer belt for 3gun and put velcro on the inside to stick to the inner belt. One time you might have some trouble with them are the "pick-up" stages where you have to pickup and stow your mags off a table before moving on to targets and shooting positions. There is no adjustment so the hole is just big enough to keep the retention. Now, being kydex, one should be able to heat up and flare the upper edges and problem might be solved. For competitions where you don't find yourself doing that, not an issue, they work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainOverkill Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I use Kytex pouches for everything I do - concealed carry, IDPA, and USPSA - for both Glocks and M&Ps. They work great for concealed carry and IDPA, but for USPSA Limited I'm thinking about swapping to Ready Tactical offset mag pouches. The Kytex fit very close to the body, and I feel my mag changes would be faster and smoother if I had a little more space to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
