Like the title says, I need a good AR15 pouch for a belt. I don't know squat about MOLLE or if that stuff can be rigged for a belt.
Anyway, anybody have any they like that work well on a belt. I need a flap and preferably no hook/loop but the latter I'm prolly stuck with these days. What have you guys got? |

Should I offer a suggestion or are you going to whine in this thread also?

If you're fine with using a pistol belt, why not ALICE pouches?
|
|
If you need a pouch with a flap, most of them are going to be designed to work with PALS webbing. You can always add some MALICE clips to the back of it and use them as belt loops.
MALICE Clips There's also this, if you don't absolutely need a flap --> Mako AR15 Mag Pouch |

I'm just not sure if the MOLLE jobs can be used with a belt and I actually only need individual pouches not stacked three deep.Also, I make my own rigging and I like the leather belt so if they have a belt loop of some sort that'll be good to keep them as bulk-free as possible. |

Honest to God man, if you don't want the BS responses, just ask in the gear forum. I can't find the mag pouches I was thinking, but you could use something like this: http://www.skdtac.com/Tactical-Tailor-Fight-Light-5-56-Double-Mag-Pouch-p/1tt.200.htm You can route the malice clips so that they work well with a belt. |

Actually, I thought the BS responses to the other thread were pretty funny. You might have nailed it tho. Looking at that thing you posted them might just do it. TT site looks like it has some good options and if the velcro crap ruins the day I can remove it and add snaps. Thanks but keep'em coming anyone else. Always interested in what's out there. |

Let me break this down Barney Style
1. Put AR mags in upside down in a pouch 2. Go in snow 3. Insert Mag in rifle after withdrawing from mag 4. Shoot Rifle |

Down Range Gear makes an adapter that lets you use any molle pouch on your belt: http://www.itstactical.com/gearcom/load-bearing/down-range-gear-pals-belt-platform-solutions-for-mounting-molle-to-your-belt/

Looks like the corners are open. Is the belt attachement/loop that plastic thing w/ slots in it that Safariland uses on pistol pouches? It's a different material, but they aren't "open" in a sense of the mags being exposed. The pouches actually use metal clips, the can be clipped onto a duty belt, threaded through or (I assume?) attached to MOLLE, but they aren't MOLLE clips as we know them. If I can't find pictures online I'll take pictures of them myself when I'm home tomorrow. EDIT: EBAY Listing with front/back photos. |

Your average "belt" will not do well at supporting the weight of loaded 30 round magazines. Hence, why you can't find what I think you're looking for.

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile View Quote My leather belts handle more weight than an M16 mag so I have no worries about that. And a pistol belt will be no trouble but thanks for the tips. That Bianchi looks good as does maybe the TT system w/ adapter. |

The Brits are still big believers in the belt concept, and I think they've got the best setups out there for that.
Google up the terms "hippo pad" and "belt order", take a look at the pictures. Trial PECOC Webbing Kitmonster example (see thumbnails) eBay UK for SAS/Airborne version |

I have had everything freeze solid before, especially after falls skiing when everything gets covered. Stuff close to the body will sometimes melt then refreeze, blowing snow gets EVERYWHERE and frosts. I've had to beat pistols against a tree to get the slide racked and other times had to fire them to release the slide. |

My humble contribution.
http://www.skdtac.com/PIG-Bomber-Magazine-Pouch-Single-p/pig.710.htm You could make your own belt loop using the molle webbing and some 550 cord. Or leather. Or whatever you like. Since running a cord/strap through the molle would allow you to create a loop that would hold the pouch vertical. There is also this product, same vendor. http://www.skdtac.com/Tactical-Tailor-Malice-Clip-Belt-Adapter-p/1tt.193.htm Makes molle into belt loop compatible. You'd have to buy malice clips too....btw. Or this one, less stuff to buy. http://www.skdtac.com/FirstSpear-Missing-Link-p/fsr.110.htm Hope that helps. |

The PIG system looks good and I think I'll try it. The single mag poch is nice and thin and not floppy and the double looks good, too. Belt adapters should work, too. Thanks for all your help. |

I wonder if they have anything like the leather FAL mag pouches for AR mags. They work great on a leather belt and they fully protect the magazine.

I know with a double pouch they fit (I was able to fit a 30-round mag no problem in each pouch of a BAR belt made to fit FAL magazines by the Belgians), but they very well may not on a single like the leather pouches. I can't really test it right now, since I don't own an AR (I used a friend's mags a while back to see if they'd fit in the BAR belt). |

The thing about MOLLE straps is that...you can put them on almost anything. Even non-modular belts

I like this for adapting MOLLE pouches to your belt.

Use the old-fashioned ALICE 3-mag pouches. Cheap and awesome.
They are also pretty versatile. I cut the dividers out of one and use it as a medical kit that can fit both my molle pack and my belt when I hike. |
