Title: How do you wear your Mag pouches?
Post by: JHS on February 09, 2012, 02:05:43 PM: As the title asks; In pouch, are your mags (rounds) facing forward or backwards? Also what do people prefer, all single pouches or a couple doubles, or a mix?

I tend to like the mag facing backwards. Seems to yield a smoother insertion then my left hand slides smoothly into position afterwards.

Post by: wanderer on February 09, 2012, 03:34:15 PM: definitely nose forward and single mag pouches here too, but i use DAA all round.

Any problems deploying the mags when having to switch from front facing to rear?

I use the CR Speed Versapouches.

Post by: JHS on February 10, 2012, 08:53:12 AM: This may help me figure this out. According to the IDPA rules under magazine carrier criteria....

G. Be worn in a belt location that will position the front edge of the carrier behind the centerline of the body.

The description of centerline is a little ambiguous with the word "behind" in there. Is the centerline in the anterior view or lateral?

Post by: Stuart on February 10, 2012, 08:55:59 AM: Lateral.
and you won't be able to use the CR Speed or DAA pouches.. look at the BladeTech single or the Comptac singles

Post by: JorDanO on February 10, 2012, 09:42:48 PM: Here's a picture of the way I was talking about. Just something that I thought I'd try out to be able to space out my front 3 a bit, and still reach the rear pouches a little easier.
