In Search of CSSPECS Mag Pouches


Recommended Posts

I've searched the forum here and ebay and amazon and not finding anything available I like for mag pouches that will hold the csspecs 8-round mags. I'm not excited about the tacos because they don't enclose the mags--would prefer more protection from ambient dirt, and I question a mag holder that is only half as long as the mag. And they are expensive. I liked the molle c-mag pouches that cheaperthandirt used to carry, but they all seem to have been discontinued and nobody has them any more. I have some actual beta pouches, but don't care for the alice clip mount, i want molle for less wiggle and more secure attachment. And the lid closure on the beta pouches is funky--easy to open quick, but not so easy to re-close quickly one-handed if you don't want your remaining mags to fall out.

 

Am I being too picky, or is there a better option out there? Or does someone out there still have some of the CTD molle pouches?

Romy 2x2 or 4x4 leather AK mag pouches are a good fit for secure carry. If you want faster speed, you'd probably want to cut off the flap. If the leather is still good they can look very good, however a lot of those seem to be pretty crusty now.


Look for any pouches designed around a 20 round 308 battle rifle magazine and you will probably find something you like. CETME, FAL, M14, HK91/G3...

I have a bunch of the German surplus G3 dual mag pouches. The csspec mags ft fairly snug, but an awful lot of the mag sticks out of the top. You'd have to cut the cover flaps off and trust the friction fit is good enough. Also, I wanted molle mount. preferably FDE/tan to go with the gun.

The Propper pouches are pretty meh--the actual pouch is constructed from some thin spandex material I wouldn't trust to hold the weight of 2 loaded mags, especially in conditions where the pouch would be subjected to being bumped or scraped. I'm going with the German G3 pouches with the top flap cut off--they're much sturdier and hold the mags pretty securely.
