Paraclete TX pouches

[Zorak]

Does anyone have any experience with the Paraclete TX-II (see "http://www.lightfighter.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=83") mag pouch? The idea of stacking pistol mag pouches in front of my rifle mags sounds appealing and probably still makes for a lower profile than stacking multiple rifle mags, but I worry about the lidless friction retention system.

The alternative is just to get seperate pistol and rifle mag pouches, which costs more but would be more flexible and would let me stick to the low profile concept. My gut's big enough without stacking multiple mags over it.

Hmm, though I don't have any experience with them, I would say they're a sound concept. Lidless M4 pouches, especially from Paraclete, should be just fine. Hell, I wish I had found these before now...

I've always liked the look of those pouches and have been thinking about ordering one to use as a shingle on my TT MAV. If you ever decide to order one, let me know how you like it.

Here's some info I found over on lightfigher:

They hold my M4 mags with magpulls pretty securely - NOTE - this is in conjunction with Glock 21 .45ACP dbl stk mags in the pistol mag pouches. The Glock mags are really thick and they stretch the elastic a lot, tightening the hold on the M4 mag. Can the mags still fall out? Yea, they can and do - especially if you are doing some Cheetah flipping or vigorous hands on work. Most of the ops I'm on are LE entries with limited pooping and snooping - I haven't experienced any difficulty (mags falling out) that I am not willing to accept.....so far - I think it is personal preference and a trade off - I like the extremely quick access (my split times on reloads with the M4 mags have been smoking) but the system is definitely not as secure as velcro or fastex covered pouches...... Summary - good quality Paraclete product that is worth looking into

What kind of rig will you be using this sexy item with?

I have a plan revolving around a Tactical Tailor Modular Tac-Vest. Other accessories remain in flux as a flail around different web sites and tweak the spreadsheet where I'm budgeting the whole thing.

Thanks for finding that comment. I think it inclines me toward seperate pouches. I'm not agile enough to deliberately do anything that would knock a mag loose, but I live my life in fear of Murphy.
