The Mini Utility Pouch from Tactical Assault Gear is a great piece of kit. Being that it is a utility pouch, it can be used for a variety of uses and applications. I chose to use mine to house my survival kit items. Due to the smaller size of the mini utility pouch, you are […]
The Wilder Evolution Series Universal Magazine Pouch securely holds any AR-15 (5.56/.223) magazine. The compression strap design grabs your magazines and maintains stability even when empty.
