For operators and responsible owners who prioritize modularity and retention, a compact magazine carrier that adapts to mixed loadouts is indispensable. This review breaks down the build, mounting options, and real-world utility of a dual-format pouch designed for rifle and pistol magazines.

HIGH SPEED GEAR TACO integrates the standard TACO and the Pistol TACO into a single Double Decker unit that accepts a variety of magazines and small accessories while maintaining secure retention. The pouch uses Cordura injection-molded polymer brackets and shock cord to hold gear firmly without permanent deformation. The unit ships with High Speed Gear’s new Adaptable Belt Mount (ABM) system: a vinyl-backed 1000D Cordura nylon laminate loop secured by a YKK snap and two lasercut slits that let you adjust the loop for 1.5–1.75″ belts or 1.75–2.0″ belts. Priced at $56, it’s a tactical solution for operators who need mixed-mag carry without multiple pouches.

Design and Mounting

The Double Decker construction stacks the larger TACO over the Pistol TACO, letting you mix rifle magazines, pistol mags, or multi-tools in one footprint. Injection-molded polymer brackets provide a rigid interface to the shock cord body for consistent retention across different shapes. The ABM belt mount replaces older soft loops with a stiffer, more durable vinyl-backed 1000D Cordura laminate and a reliable YKK snap—ideal for duty belts or thicker webbing where stability matters.

Belt Compatibility

Two lasercut slits in the ABM strip allow precise threading to match common belt widths. Set it narrower for 1.5–1.75″ belts or expand for 1.75–2.0″ belts without sacrificing retention or introducing wobble during movement.

Versatility and Field Use

Retention is adjustable via shock cord tension, giving a positive feel for empty or loaded magazines. The pouch is also suitable for small tools, TQ kits, or multi-function items; it’s not caliber-specific, so it supports various magazine types across models. Available in multiple configurations, the HIGH SPEED GEAR TACO lets users tailor a compact loadout that reduces bulk while increasing on-belt capacity.
