So, I went back like 7-8 pages in the gear help threads and couldn't find an answer. So I am posting the question now.
I need to know what pouches you recommend for holding double stack mags. I looked all over ASGI, and it seems like all their pouches won't accommodate double stack mags.
Plan on either getting a TM mk23, or a Glock 17 or 19.
I have holster options for them, I just haven't had good luck with the darn pouches for the mags.
All input is needed and appreciated.

I looked at all of those, and I read a few different reviews on all of them and they all said they didn't have enough room for double stack mags.

Don't trust retailer reviews, ever, they're posting on their own items to boost their image. If you look at every single picture of those pouches, you'll notice that that IS a double stacked mag being used in them. Particularly a glock mag.

Yes.

OK. Thanks for all the help. I was a little confused by the pictures as well, because those did look like glock mags. I will go ahead and place the order.

I have a few of those pouches that were in ghast's link. The pouches themselves were so tight when trying to put in a g17 mag. Even with the plastic plate on the bottom removed, I had a hard squeezing the mag in. www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=28_101_299&products_id=5662Just cannot get the mag in there, without having to shove it as hard as I can.

I swear by the HSGI pistol mag pouches. I really like the velcro + buckle + silencing strip. I can set them up for silent opening if I'm carrying mk23 mags, or for quick velcro opening if I'm carrying Glock mags for CQB.

I used the pouches Zorak mentioned for a year or so. They're good but I got sick of the buckle personally. I never ran them with the velcro rather than buckle as I didn't want to deal with the bouncing buckle. They're also attached by malice clips which I absolutely hate. If I was going to be running a double stack 9mm set up, I'd go with these: Eagle Industries 9mm FB pouches. The one I linked are surplus USMC ones in CB and stupid cheap. I love the FB pouches I have for my .45 mags. I'm not 100% that they'll work with Glock mags, but you can always just buy one and then try it out. If it doesn't work the store I linked has a 7 day return policy after you receive it.

^ Thanks knife. That is basically just what I was looking for. And super cheap. I will probably go with the MK. 23 anyways.
Edit: I am not the biggest guru on gun info, but isn't the mk. 23 a .45?

Yes, but in the end it doesn't matter much. The real difference is double stack vs single stack. You see single stack mag pouches called .45 mag pouches because the only popular gun that uses a single stack mag is the 1911.
Also, Knife, MALICE clips are awesome. You must now report to the reeducation camps.

You see single stack mag pouches called .45 mag pouches because the only popular gun that uses a single stack mag is the 1911. Perhaps I should have mentioned that in my first post, but yeah, in the end, if it's a double stack mag pouch, it should work with all double stack mags. The same applies to single stack pouches.

OK. That makes sense. I will go ahead and order one off ebay, and reply with the result.

Bump for update. I purchased two of the pouches that knife linked too ( Eagle Industries 9mm FB pouches ) and they DID NOTfit my mk23 mags. I didn't try it on glock mags, because I don't have glock mags, but it doesn't fit my mk23 mags. It is like just wide enough, but not quite deep enough, and I don't want to force the mags in it, for fear of breaking it or the mag, but if anyone has a suggestion, then tell me. Back to the drawing board for pouches. Maybe I will try the one that zorak linked too.
