Good Pistol Mag Pouches?

[Boondock Saint]

Alright, I'm looking to get some belt pouches for my 1911 single stack mags. I've looked at the variety of open-top solutions and wondered if anybody uses these?

Or if you have any better suggestions, please, share.

I know I'm chiming in a little late, but i have to recommend blackhawk pistol mag pouches with 'talonflex'. They offer both velcro retention and a plastic insert which prevents mags from slipping out when used in an open top configuration. I've been using them for two years without issue. I have seen people with other open top designs lose their mags (ie literally fly out when running) during some training at West Point. IMHO retention of some kind is a must.

BH is also having a sale on their triple in 'Dark Earth'

I have a few of these .45/1911 pouches and I have never lost a mag from them.

I've found them with open tops after rolling around on them, etc....but the mag has never come out.

Also, if you need an extra M4 pouch on your rig, this pouch will NEVER let go of your 1911 mags. The inserts hold onto your magazines like grim death. You adjust the tension you want on your mags based on how far you put them in the pouch. When you have the .45 mags all the way in, (No one take that one, it's too easy) you have to hold on the pouch to get them out.

Since I needed a mag pouch for the Battle For Breedland this past weekend, and opticsplanet was out of stock on the pouch I wanted, I got one of these.

But I might look into that second pouch CQBR posted. Looks interesting.

I can back up cqbr on the Eagle FB pouches. I've got some of the .45 ones and they really hold the mags in there.
