Pouch for Dropping Magazines: How to Choose a Dump Pouch

A dump pouch is for those who don't want to lose empty magazines during reloads or waste time neatly putting them back into a magazine pouch. It is designed for fast movement: you simply toss the magazine into the wide opening and keep shooting right away. This kind of magazine dump pouch is used on duty, in tactical training and in shooting competitions. The best design depends on the conditions in which you use it.

Foldable or with a Permanently Open Mouth?

Foldable models, such as the 8Fields pouch, take up little space on a vest or rig when folded and don't snag during movement. They unfold in a single motion. This option is convenient if you need the pouch not all the time, but only during active shooting.

The Helikon-Tex Competition Dump Pouch is made for shooting competitions and practical shooting. Its rigid collar with a drawcord keeps the opening open, so the magazine goes inside even when you aren't looking at it. For field conditions, soft pouches with a drawstring cord are chosen more often. While moving, the opening can be cinched shut so the magazines don't fall out.

Where and How to Attach the Pouch

Most of these pouches attach via MOLLE to a belt or a plate carrier. Some models have extra hook-and-loop strips and snaps that secure the pouch better to the webbing. Place it where your hand reaches it without looking and where it doesn't interfere with the holster, the medical kit or other pouches.

Before fixing the pouch in place for good, try it on with your full gear set and practice dropping a magazine several times. A pouch that hangs too low or too far away slows down reloading and bangs against your legs when running.

Pockets, Mesh and Material

Side mesh pockets and a front pocket provide room for small items that need to be at hand. A mesh bottom lets dirt and sand fall through, and magazines are easier to take out of it. Dense Cordura withstands abrasion and impacts from metal magazines well. Choose the color to match the camouflage of the rest of your gear.

For other types — for magazines, a medical kit or a tourniquet — see the tactical pouches category.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a dump pouch differ from a magazine pouch?

A dump pouch is intended for empty magazines, not for storing a loaded ammunition supply. It has a wide opening without a flap so that a magazine can be tossed in without looking. A regular pouch, by contrast, holds the magazine tightly.

How much does a magazine dump pouch cost?

Prices range from 370 to 1 870 UAH. The cost depends on the material, the design of the opening and the presence of pockets.
