Complete Buyer’s Guide to Pistol, Rifle, and Duty Mag Pouches

Why Carry a Magazine Pouch?

When it comes to concealed carry, range training, or duty use, having extra ammunition at hand can make all the difference. A holster secures your firearm, but a dedicated magazine pouch ensures your reloads are fast, consistent, and reliable.

For concealed carriers, a slim IWB mag pouch keeps a spare magazine tucked away discreetly. For law enforcement or competition shooters, OWB mag pouches provide quick access and stable retention for larger loadouts. At JX Tactical, we build Kydex mag pouches designed to serve every role—from everyday carry to range training and duty setups.

Types of Magazine Pouches

IWB (Inside-the-Waistband) Mag Pouches

• Designed for concealed carry.
  
  
• Minimal bulk, easy to hide under clothing.
  
  
• Available in multiple sizes to fit single stack, 1.5 stack, and double stack magazines, as well as calibers like 10mm and .45 ACP.
  
  
• A great option for carriers running pistols like the Glock 43/43X, Sig P365, or Springfield Hellcat.
  
  

OWB (Outside-the-Waistband) Mag Pouches

• Ideal for range use, duty carry, and competition shooting.
  
  
• Provide faster reloads with easier access.
  
  
• Built to handle larger magazines, including AR-15 mag pouches, CZ Scorpion pouches, and MPX mag pouches.
  
  
• Also includes double mag pouches for increased capacity.
  
  

Specialty Combo Pouches

Some setups go beyond just magazines. Our Cuff & Mag Combo Carrier combines a magazine pouch with a handcuff case, providing streamlined carry for law enforcement. Compatible cuff brands include:

• ASP Chained
  
  
• Peerless Chained
  
  
• Peerless Hinged
  
  
• Smith & Wesson Chained
  
  

This makes it easy for officers and security professionals to carry both critical tools in one secure, efficient setup.

Pistol Magazine Pouches

Our flagship Pistol Mag Pouch is built for concealed carriers but also doubles as an OWB option for training or competition. Each pouch is precision-formed Kydex for secure retention and fast access.

Available sizes include:

• Single Stack Mag Pouch – Perfect for slim pistols like the 1911, Sig 220, or S&W Shield.
  
  
• 1.5 Stack Mag Pouch – Designed for pistols like the Glock 48, Glock 43/43X, Sig P365/P365XL/P365 X-Macro, Springfield Hellcat/Pro, or similar compact platforms.
  
  
• Double Stack Mag Pouch – For popular duty and carry pistols like Glock 19/17, Sig P320, CZ P-10C, H&K VP9, or similar platforms.
  
  
• 10mm Mag Pouch – Built for higher caliber platforms, offering secure retention for powerful carry guns.
  
  
• .45 Mag Pouch – Designed specifically for classic .45 ACP pistols and modern platforms.
  
  
• 5.7x28mm Mag Pouch – For pistols chambered in 5.7 like the PSA Rock, FN 5.7, S&W 5.7, Ruger 5.7, offering proper fitment and retention where standard pouches fall short.
  
  

No matter your pistol platform, we’ve got a mag pouch designed to match.

Rifle & Pistol-Caliber Carbine (PCC) Mag Pouches

For shooters running carbines or PCCs, we also offer dedicated rifle mag pouches:

• AR-15 Mag Pouch – Designed for standard AR-15 magazines, perfect for range training, duty, or competition.
  
  
• CZ Scorpion Mag Pouch – Tailored for the unique profile of CZ Scorpion style magazines, ensuring reliable retention.
  
  
• MPX Mag Pouch – Precision fit for Sig MPX magazines, offering smooth draws and reinsertions.
  
  

These OWB mag pouches provide stability and speed, ideal for competitive shooting, range sessions, or duty roles where fast reloads matter.

Double Mag Pouches

Sometimes one spare magazine isn’t enough. That’s where the Double Mag Pouch comes in. This design allows you to carry two magazines side-by-side with the same level of retention and comfort as our single models. It’s an excellent option for range sessions, duty carry, or anyone who simply wants more ammo on hand.
