Great Tac-8 Mag Holster - Page 2

Apokalypsi · 10-22-2007, 11:25 PM

Anybody know if they'll fit in a M4/M16 mag pouch? If so, I think I'll try this.

The T8 mags are thicker than the M4 but not wider. You might only be able to get 2 mags in that pouch.

I found that old USGI pouches for 30rd M1 Carbine mags work really well, if you don't mind a flap.
I prefer the flap, because I use my Tib as a backup to my bolt-action, so I seldom need to deploy a reload super fast (even if I needed to, I am too slow and too old to care).

However, these 1950's era pouches work very well as they have a little divider that separates the two mags and also they allow you to keep a couple of extra 8 rd tubes in there also.

As I said, I have yet to seriously try a Tib as a primary or solitary paintgun, so I have yet to figure out how to use more than the three mags that I carry on to the field (one in and two in pouch), but I have actually reloaded a mag on the field and under fire, so I guess I could have used four mags then.

Anyway.

FYI: I found this shoulder holster here and it fits the TAC-8 but the flaps on the magazine pouches needed to lengthened. I unstitched the flaps and added section of digi camo cloth to make them longer. The balance is not bad with two mags on one side and the pistol with mag in the holster. You can easily remove the pistol with one hand but it takes two to put it back in. It works well as I only use the TAC as an on field backup marker.

I really need something that I can attach to a MOLLE vest. I have... 12 mags I think? and two Tac 8s. I would like to get all of that vest mounted.

I just bought myself Blackhawk's STRIKE Bandoleer and Patrol Belt. So I'm trying to find a MOLLE holster and mag pouch in ACU that will fit the Tac-8 and its mags.

Yeah, I've also got the bandoleer. Unless they've changed the design in the past few months, I found that the straps for the front and back were too short so I made my own.

Here's what my rig looks like. I'm on the far right.

Ya, I saw you in SD's pics on UMS.

What about double M4 pouches? Would those be too thick?

CrazyBoy78 · 10-23-2007, 11:52 PM

If you plan on fitting 2 mags in each pouch, then you need at least a triple mag pouch with a divider so they're not smacking into each other. You can try going with a triple molle shingle that'll layer so you can get more that way... I'm kinda thinking of getting some custom molle pouches made myself.
