ard212 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I know this may be a stupid question, but I got my MPX a few months ago, ranges are only recently starting to open back up where I'm from (Argentina), and I'm looking into setting up for PCC, don't know if the news in the US talk much about the economic situation of Argentina, but, let me tell you, it's not pretty, dollars are not easy to come by, and they're not cheap, because of this, I don't want to buy more equipment than necesary, I have enough mags, but if I'm not going to run them on my belt, then I don't think I need pouches for all them. I'm interested in hearing how many pouches do you guys normally run on your belt. Thanks and, again, sorry if this question is kinda dumb. Link to comment
phoenixsomd Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 One as a minimum.I have two. One on the side for a backup mag (Glock) and one mounted in the front for use in classifiers, unloaded starts... etc.Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Link to comment
stick Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Two mag holders. One for loading the PCC and a back up for issues or classifiers. Link to comment
Matt1911 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I've never needed more than 2 Link to comment
TeedOff Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I also run two pouches but you would be fine with just one. Link to comment
zzt Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I'm an outlier here. Three pouches for me for everything. Some of the classifiers require two mandatory reloads. ETS 17 round mags for USPSA classifiers; ETS 40 round mags for everything else. I also shoot SCSA (Steel Challenge) with 6 ETS 17 round mags, but they are not on my belt, except two for Showdown.

WxGuy Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Ditto on the 3 pouches for me. 2 on the side and one up front. Link to comment
Bdh821 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I only run 2 pouches. one on my hip for my backup mag. one in front for start mag / classifier reload. I may carry a third soon. I prefer my weber tactical pcc gamer mag pouch for my MPX mags. They're very nice IMO. Link to comment
cecil Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I run 3 pouches... most times 2 are enough.. EXCEPT... when you drop one and have to waste time stopping and picking it up... if you drop a mag.. you can believe it will fall NOSE DOWN... Link to comment

I've shot falling steel matches where the rule is if you drop a magazine it's dead. You can't pick it up or use it before the stage is over and you've unloaded. Always better to have one extra.

ard212 Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 Thanks for all the replies ! Yeah, I'm definitely going for 3 pouches then. Link to comment
RaylanGivens Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Also run 3 pouches... Two small, standard pouches near the front and one longer pouch on the side for a spare magazine... I keep a Glock magazine with 32 rounds for a spare... That way I should be able to complete any USPSA stage regardless of when it's needed. Link to comment
Kokeman Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) I run 2 ghost pouches and a magnet. I use glock mags. A 31+4 in the front and a 17 +4 in the other. I use the magnet for my starter mag and to hold my flag.(I have a keyring on it) Edited September 14, 2020 by Kokeman Link to comment

Darqusoull13 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 3 mag pouches. Typically I'll only come to the start position with 2, a starting mag and a backup mag downloaded for emergencies. For classifiers with a mandatory reload I'll add a mag, also downloaded, for 1 starter and 2 downloaded reload mags. Link to comment

Stephen7942 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I run 3 pouches. Feels like overkill most of the time. I think 2 would be plenty. Link to comment
ard212 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 Bought 3 Comp-Tac PCC pouches, will post pics as soon as they arrive. Link to comment
BillChunn Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Actually 3, but really only 2. The third one has my "Barney" magazine in it held by a Double Alpha magazine holder. It's a mag with only 1 round that is used to initially load the carbine. It is used first, charging the carbine and then dropped out. If it comes out empty, then there is a round in the chamber (which does not have to be checked.) Two more directly in front that use double magnets, the SpeedRL from TechWellUSA.com (https://techwellusa.com/speedrl.html) BC Edited October 12, 2020 by BillChunn spelling Link to comment

What is the purpose of just loading a barney round? Link to comment

Probably so he doesn't have to sneak a peek to make sure a round has chambered. I see a lot of PCC shooters check to see if a round chambered. I think it funny. If my PCC was not 100% reliable in every way, I'd fix it so it was. Besides, there is a difference in tone and feel when the bolt strips a round. Link to comment
biggulp Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I run a TTI +11 and 1 spare 30 rounder modded to 34 but I'm not even sure I know how to reload that thing on the clock I do keep an extra mag pouch in the range bag in case there's a multiple reload qualifier. Link to comment

Besides, there is a difference in tone and feel when the bolt strips a round. That depends on the platform. I shoot a SBR Uzi. I defy anyone to tell if a round chambers or not just by feel.

cferree Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I run 3 too, 2 on my hip and 1 in front. Most of the time I only come to the line with mags in two pouches. I fill all three for multi-string classifiers. My load mag is in a pocket not in a pouch. Link to comment
