Description

Blackhawk is a leading manufacturer of a wide range of tactical gear, including duty holsters, holsters for recreational and competition shooters, pouches, bags, slings, straps, and more. PDN is committed to showing members the best self-defense tools and accessories, so we take a look at one of the best new products from Blackhawk, the Quick-Mod Magazine Pouch.

This particular Blackhawk mag pouch is designed to carry a magazine outside the waistband, either at the range or during competitions, especially competitions of a defensive nature like IDPA. It’s also perfect for anyone looking for a good adjustable pouch for duty gear, to hold pistol or AR magazines. The Blackhawk mag pouch shown in the video is for double-stack pistol magazines.

How It Works

First, use a screwdriver to adjust the pouch for the width of your belt. Then the Blackhawk mag pouch can be adjusted to different angles depending on your personal preference. For competition, if carrying the mag pouch near centerline, it can be canted backwards. Rounds can be pointed away from centerline if carrying defensively or angled toward centerline. Whatever pattern of movement you are accustomed to that gets you to the magazine quickly and efficiently, the Blackhawk mag pouch will accommodate. It can also be pushed all the way to horizontal.

Retention Spring for Security

A retention spring inside the pouch creates friction so the magazine will not fall out of the pouch even if you the pouch is turned upside down. You might not want to carry it upside down, but if you go upside down during a defensive encounter, you don’t have to worry about the loaded magazine falling out.

The Blackhawk Quick-Mod Magazine Pouch is a versatile piece of self-defense gear that holds virtually any double-stack pistol magazines, as well as AR magazines, because you can adjust the size.

Let's take a quick look at the Blackhawk QuickMod Magazine pouch. This is a new product from Blackhawk. Of course, Blackhawk has been around forever. They've got a wide variety of products and accessories, duty holsters, a holster for the recreational shooter, the competition shooter. As well as a lot of different pouches and bags and straps and slings. They've got a lot of things going on at Blackhawk. And, I think this is one of the coolest products they've come out with in a while. For anybody who is interested in something, that is gonna be outside the waistband, to carry a magazine, either at the range, in competition. Especially some of the IDPA, the defensive nature type competitions or if somebody is looking for a good adjustable pouch, for duty gear, to hold magazines. Whether it's pistol magazines, in this case double stack or AR magazines. So, the way this works, of course you adjust this for the belt loop size, first. You can see this one set up for a little bit wider. I've actually got one of these set up, on my duty gear for an AR mag. And obviously, it's set up to be very wide, for the longer belt. This belt, a little bit shorter and this one's been adjusted to be a little bit tighter. This is more of an everyday, kind of common belt. The other adjustment that can be made of course is angle. So, we can adjust the angle of the magazine pouch. If someone's especially in the competition styles, carrying out front and they wanna, kind of lay them back this way. If they're carrying, whether they're carrying defensively, with their bullets pointed away from center line or they're carrying with their bullets pointed towards center line, either way. However you want to adjust these for your ability to reach down and go with whatever pattern of movement you've gotten used to. Of course, they can be pushed all the way to horizontal as well. So, there's a lot of different adjustability here. Inside the pouch itself. We've got a little tension spring here. That's gonna give you retentions, that these can actually go all the way upside down. Now, you probably wouldn't wanna carry your magazines upside down, but if you want upside down, while you're carrying one of these magazine pouches, you don't want your loaded magazine to fall out. So, there's plenty of tension on that spring. The Blackhawk QuickMod Magazine pouch may be great. Obviously, this will also hold a lot of different types of firearm magazines. Any double stack basically is gonna fit in here. So, whether you're using a Glock, the XD, the M&P, whatever your choice is. This magazine pouch will kind of be a one size, fits all for you, because you can adjust the size and put any magazine that you wanted. Take a look at the QuickMod Magazine pouch, for double stack pistol magazines and AR 15 magazines.
