The early designs in magazine pouches did not take into account the potential for speed reloading the semi-auto pistol. As a rule of thumb at minimum, the top 1-1/2” of the magazine should be exposed so that the magazine is grasped by the non-gun hand to perform the reloading technique properly. Cartridges in the magazine to be speed loaded should have the bullets forward (in the direction of the belt buckle.) The Single Magazine Pouch conforms to these design principles.

A common design choice incorporated in many double magazine pouches is to set both facing forward. The theory behind this choice is that two speed loads are possible. 

The double magazine pouch is designed for magazines set facing forward towards the belt buckle. Upon request, I will mold the magazines to face in opposite directions  

NOTE: You do not need to unsnap the inverted center "Y" divider to extract your magazines.

The rifle magazine pouch is designed to take into account the potential for speed reloading the semi-auto and machine gun rifle. As a rule of thumb at minimum, the top 1-1/2” of the magazine should be exposed so that the magazine is grasped by the non-gun hand to perform the reloading technique properly. Cartridges in the magazine to be speed loaded should have the bullets forward (in the direction of the belt buckle.) The Rifle Magazine Pouch conforms to these design principles.  I can make these so that the rounds are up or down, depending on your rifle reloading technique.

Available for: M4, AR-15, M-16, HK MP5, Hk94. Specify 20 or 30 round magazine, right or left handed, tan or black color, rounds up or down, and belt loop size up to 1-3/4”.
