Esstac
4.7
(33)
"Esstac"
"Esstac on belt. Can toss belt in bin/bag/back of truck and all the gear stays put."
"I use both but mainly Esstac . It has plenty of retention. Mags will stay put on gear whether on or off body."
"Esstac"
"3 esstac kywi tall on your plate carrier for rifle mags, an additional two on your strong side in a pouch of your choosing inside your cummerbund."
"Esstac - they're kind of the gold standard as far as easily obtainable stuff is concerned."
"Have 3-7 rifle mags on your carrier, esstac placard is goated."
"I always end up putting ESSTAC KYWI's in everything so that would be a good company to start with."
"Esstac kywi , sn"

"HSGI tacos. Pretty much all I use for work or play."
"I love the HSGI pistol taco for my G19 mags. Great retention, doesn't swallow them."
"I love the HSGI pistol taco for my G19 mags"
"I love the tacos personally just cause they’re cheap to be had but work and hold up amazingly well."

Spiritus Systems
4.3
(9)
"Personally a huge fan of the spiritus spud it’s just really expensive, but it’ll fit like literally anything lmao"
"I just like the modularity of the Spud. You have adjustable flap height or just remove it, shock cord retaining or cinching around the item."
"I vote double stack flap/universal as Spiritus Spud"
"Just carrying mags : Spiritus Spud"
"You could try either the haley micro rig or the spiritus with the quad mag placard and retention cords."
"Spiritus mk4/mk5, Ferro Dope, Parashooter gear Nano, or volk for AK, Unontanium Gear sleds, OPS tactical triple, flapped."
"I would say I like the Spiritus Mk4 the most. It sees the most use and it stays on my Plate carrier 95% of the time."
"I like the Spiritus Systems Mk4 and Mk5 placards with their inserts. I have the Mk4 and its been great and very versatile."
"Spiritus Mk IV with triple rifle insert in rear pocket and pistol insert(s) in the front."

"I love my tacos, im every shape and size. They’re just so multipurpose and fit so many different loadouts"
"HIGH SPEED GEAR. ALL OF THEIR STUFF IS LEGIT."
"Something like this might suit your needs. I see them go on other websites including ebay for cheaper."
"They have some that are padded, and can hold 3 AR mags and 3 Glock mags at the same time"
"I used the HSGI stuff in Afghanistan. Big fan but I’ve since switched over to Esstac."
"HSGI (Tacos) are great as well. I find them most useful when running different mags and sizes."
"A lot of people hate them but I like the HSGI tacos because they take AR, AK and 762 NATO without major issues."
"The HSGI pistol tacos will hold the MPX mags reasonably well but mags could fall out if running-rolling around."
#5
