boudreux Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Anybody have any experience/reviews on the black scorpion storm mag pouches? Here is a link to what I'm talking about. http://www.blackscorpiongear.com/ecommerce/accessories/storm-magazine-pouch.php Can't seem to find out much about them online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superslowmo Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 They are inexpensive, and they work. They adjust on something akin to a half ball mount, and you can flip the belt attachment to get them higher or lower on the belt depending on your personal preference. When I get home tonight I can post up a pic of my "transitional" rig while waiting for my Safariland order.

superslowmo Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I believe Bkreutz has them on his rig in this pic. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkreutz Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I like them, and continue to use them until I find a reason not to. One trick is to take off the stupid looking front panel that says "Black Scorpion" in gold letters with a gold scorpion as well. Taking the panel off gives easier access to the screw that secures the adjustment ball. I left the front panel off, it has no function other than cosmetic. I kinda prefer the minimalist look.

boudreux Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Are they very wide? I will be using them for production and will need about 5 on the belt. Will they go around my back due to width? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkreutz Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I just went and measured them, they are 2.25 inches wide at the widest spot. I don't shoot production but I think the big tension adjustment knob is a "no-no". (at least that's the thought in my mind). When I shoot my occasional IDPA match (which is as close to production as I get) I use a Blade Tech double mag pouch. Hope this helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boudreux Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 That's pretty wide. I can imagine they will be wrapped around my back quite a ways. I think they would probably fit a limited rig better. Thanks for all the help. In case anybody is interested here is a link where they have them for $15 each http://www.dvor.com/black-scorpion-outdoor-gear-storm-magazine-pouch.html?promotion=best-bets-under-100-50-2015-03-23 Or the storm 2 for $20 each http://www.dvor.com/black-scorpion-outdoor-gear-storm-ii-competition-magazine-pouch-ultra-color.html?promotion=best-bets-under-100-50-2015-03-23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superslowmo Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 D4, 20 reads- •Each magazine must be contained individually within the magazine pouch. Magazines may not be retained through magnetic means. So I am thinking that as long as they sit behind the hip bone, and are set up vertically they would be GTG.

boudreux Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Yea they will fit but I can get others that don't take up much room so I don't have to reach as far back for the last mag or two Edited March 23, 2015 by boudreux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superslowmo Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Yea they will fit but I can get others that don't take up much room so I don't have to reach as far back for the last mag or two Yeah, no doubt about that. You don't want to look like a someone shooting single stack that has mags from hip bone to back bone..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgardner Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I have them and they work well. The only thing I did was permanently glue the ball because they kept sliding around. The knob was a problem once getting hung in the snow fence when I brushed against a USPSA "wall". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

open17 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 My wife and I are running three each, plus a magnet on Limited rigs. You REALLY have to put some tight on them to keep the ball from slipping. I bought a T handle allen wrench--works great. Mine are set up for Tanfoglio Limited mags. Had to modify the pouches a bit. Hers are for a M&P, work fine right out of the package.
