Tactical Combat Pistol Pouches for Military, Army, Law Enforcement, Security for Sale -UARM™

Although a pistol is a secondary weapon when you are in the US Army or Navy, for an overwhelming majority of domestic security jobs and dangerous situations it will be the main thing you will use. That is why it is so important not only to have pistol magazine pouches that will hold your ammo but ones that will allow you to swap your mags and reload quickly. There are three things that both pistol magazine pouches and holsters need to have:

A good fit for a sidearm mag
Sturdy attachment options
Tear-resistant materials

Additionally, it is always a good thing if your mag-holders, whether they are pouches or holsters, are lightweight. While the increase is not significant, as we seldom get to wear battle belts in most situations relating to domestic security, this little pull by your extra ammo can be distracting. For those looking to buy such a product for themselves, it is always best to match it with your firearm mag size. If you are using a single weapon, a holster is usually a better option. But, if you are alternating between different gun sizes and rounds you will need to find a pistol magazine pouch for sale. Thankfully, neither comes at a really high price, with some modern slim holsters being both versatile and easy to hide under clothes.

Pistol Magazine Pouches vs. Pistol Holsters

The first division is between pouches and holsters, both having their own benefits and drawbacks, and they can also be covert and overt. Pouches rarely come as covert options, especially because most people prefer them with MOLLE webbing, but you can make some wardrobe adjustments to hide them to a point. But, if you go to the lengths of wearing excessive clothing over your spare magazines, this will reduce the speed of your reload, which is the primary reason for using a pouch in the first place. Holsters are a different story. Because they can be trimmed down to the exact size of the mag they are intended to hold, they can be slim and concealed in various places. On civilian belts, they can be attached to the inner side of your trousers, staying invisible to onlookers but accessible at all times. The main advantage of pistol mag pouches is that they can hold any type of mag. Regardless if you are using something small like a .22, or a sizable .44cal for something like the Desert Eagle, you will be able to use the same pouch. That being said, you can also fit multiple smaller mags into the same pouch. While this will take some time getting used to, it is an excellent way to increase ammo capacity without changing your gear layout.

What Type of Holster does the US Army Use?

The US Army standard, as well as the preferred choice for many police districts, would be the regular MOLLE II type pistol magazine pouch. As the military body armor supplier and their weapons supplier are not always compatible, wider pouches are used to keep any type of ammo the unit opts to bring on a mission. The current standard-issue sidearm for the US Armed Forces is the SIG M17, which uses the 9x19mm Parabellum rounds. While these century-old bullets are not as impressive as some things out there, the fact that it can fit 21 rounds inside the magazine box and that they exit at 1200 fps makes them an ideal sidearm. Most civilian holsters, especially those with a rubber band, can hold this ammo very effectively.

How to Select the Best Pistol Magazine Pouch?

You need to start with your weapon. While a pouch will take almost any type of magazine, you will need to be certain that yours is not the exception. You may calculate to see if maybe you can place more than one as well. Next, you should take into consideration your body armor and other combat gear. If you are using an internal carrier you will need a holster and not an external pistol storage pouch. But, if you have an external plate carrier, a good large pouch will always be the preferable choice. Finally, if you have a battle belt a holster would be wasteful, as you can have a wider tactical variability for both active missions, outdoor activities like hiking or hunting, and for security in general.

F.A.Q

What are pistol guns pouches?

Pistol gun pouches, or sidearm pouches, include secure and easy to access handgun holsters and containers. They can be large and used to conceal carry, or simple and overt hip holsters.

What is the best pistol case?

A holster is not a good pistol case. A case should be made to house ammo, accessories, and the gun itself, and should be secured from impact and dust. Civilian cases should also be lockable.

Who makes the best gun cases?

Best choices would be either buying a case from the specific manufacturer of the handgun itself, or from a tactical gear manufacturer. UARM offers several gun cases that can house most pistol models.
