mcb Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Just getting into 3-gun and am trying to figure out what to use for AR-15 magazine pouches. Probably only need two maybe three spare magazines at most but I can't seem to find a good pouch. In the few matches I have shoot I just stuffed a 20 rd magazine in my 6 round shotshell stripper and a spare 30rd in my cargo pocket on my shorts. Something a little faster would be nice.

Merlin Orr Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I carry a 30 in my weakhand rear pocket. Not very high tech I guess but it works.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uscbigdawg Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I have a couple of different ones. All equally capable to do the job. California Comp Works (1 - horizontal; 1 - vertical) Bladetech (single mag pouch) 3GunGear (1 - horizontal; 1 - vertical) All three get it done. They were just acquired at various points in time.

blkbrd Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Brownells mag. holder made by Blade Tech, same as the Blade Tech but a couple of bucks cheaper. http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/Pro...p;s=49270#49270 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I'm using one of those 3 Gun gear Thigh rigs.. it looks a little tacibilly, but the mag azines are pretty much easily accessible whatever my position is - standing, prone, etc. I'm also chicken, so it carries 2. I always want to have one more than I'd ever need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Beta Mag, or Redi mag on the rifle with one in a blade tec, if the going gets really rough then 2 in the 3 gun gear thigh rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 My holders are custom leather single pouches made by a local guy 15+ years ago. If I needed to buy again, I would get 3, or 4 BladeTech single holders so I could add and subtract them to my belt as needed. No such thing as too many AR mag pouches if you ever shoot the MGM IronMan ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Sierpina Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I have 3 Blade Tech pouches, with the Tech Lock, they're easy to add or subtract from the belt as needed. Also use an aluminum mag clamp to hold 2 together. I made the clamp, it's not something from any of the normal suppliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I use the ones from The Wilderness, also easy on and off. Had a few from 3-gun gear but they floped around too much, and were too high. These were very early ones, and I have seen that these problems have been fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Thanks for all the great replies. You guys can also verbally flog me for putting this topic in the wrong sub forum. Probably should have put this in the 3-gun accessories forum. Anyway thanks for the help. mcb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacMan Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Ditto on mag pouch by The Wilderness. I used 3 gun gear pouch before but they are much slower and don't stay put: Mag pouch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudden Death Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 (1) 45 round in the gun, and just in case one more in my week hand back pocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactustactical Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 (edited) Use the Blade Tech kydex single pouches or the 3 gun gear double pouches on a T rig for higher round count stages. Edited November 20, 2006 by Cactustactical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More available than 3gun gear as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mcb MOLLE thigh rig with 2 mag pouches (remove the flaps). Large enough for a pair of cinched 30 round mags. - left thigh carry. I just setup the same thing rig. I order some of the inexpensive MOLLE gear from Cheaper than Dirt and it showed up today. The quality is really good given the price. I got a open top double pouch and a thigh mount. Mounting that double pouch on the thigh mount was a pain but once I got it adjusted it works pretty good. I did some quick practice with a par timer and was managing 2.5 second reloads. I set my par timer to 2.5 seconds and random start. I would hit start and then sight on a target on the wall. When the first beep went off I did the reload. I could consistently beat the 2.5 par time. I manage 2 seconds a few times but not consistently, practice is not doubt required. I think a waist mounted pouch like blade-tech might be faster but the thigh rig will work better for a multi-gun match were you might be wearing your pistol and possible shotgun gear at the same time.
