Frequently Asked Questions
What magazines does this pouch fit?
This pouch is designed for standard 5.56 NATO magazines including PMAGs and USGI magazines. The Kydex inserts provide retention for most common magazine types in this caliber.
Do I need additional hardware to mount this pouch?
For belt mounting, you need to order WTFix attachment straps or KYWI Belt Loops separately. For MOLLE mounting on plate carriers or chest rigs, the pouch includes integrated PALS webbing.
How does the KYWI system work?
The Kydex Wedge Insert creates friction-based retention that holds magazines securely during movement but releases smoothly when you draw. No bungee cords or retention straps needed.
What makes this a "Shorty" pouch?
The Shorty design reduces the overall height and bulk compared to full-size magazine pouches, making it ideal for low-profile setups where space and weight matter.
