When it comes to magazine pouches, it can be hard to find just perfect size and shape to serve you in a broad array of activities.  Gun courses, undercover work, and live action are all scenarios in which fast, dependable pouches are a must.  OpticsPlanet carries not only Kydex holsters from Fobus, but their single mag pouches and double mag pouches.  Outfit the team with the best magazine holders available from Fobus Holsters.

Fobus mag pouches are some of the most affordable pistol mag pouches, and their strength and durability are quite often unmatched.  Having been designed for use in aircraft interiors, Kydex holds your magazines tight with Atlas-like support and security.  All of this power doesn’t mean that your Fobus mag pouch has to protrude from your tactical polo or body armor.  All of Fobus’ mag pouches and ammo pouches are sleek and low-profile for maximum concealability.  You can even take the practicality further by electing the Fobus magazine and flashlight pouch which holds more of the gear you need.    Fobus offers different tactical pouches and accessories pouches that take seconds away from your draw and consistently deliver a very clean presentation.

Why spend loads of cash on expensive holsters that will allow your weapon or ammo to prematurely dislodge?  If a scuffle breaks out, and your concealed cache spills amidst the madness, serious repercussions will indeed follow.  Fobus has the situation under control with its custom molded holster mag pouch.  Sidearms, magazines, even handcuffs slide into each Fobus pouch with a complete disregard to friction.

Do the other stores not have the mag pouch you are looking for?  Come to OpticsPlanet.com and find it fast and easy!  Check out our Guide to Holster Buying and learn more about finding the perfect holster for your on or off-duty setup.  If you need roto-holsters, thumb lever holsters, ankle holsters, or holsters accessories, browse through the selection of Fobus products at OpticsPlanet.  You will be glad you stopped by.      

Customers just can’t get enough of the Operator Belt from 5.11 Tactical.  5-11 leads the industry in men’s and women’s apparel that is built to last.  It is only natural that they follow their colossal impact with such a solid tactical belt.  5.11 Tactical pants and 5.11 Tactical shirts have already placed the brand atop the many competing law enforcement apparel brands, and creating an outstanding 5.11 belt was simply meant to be.

The 1.75 inch 5.11 Operator Belt provides law enforcement, military, and fire professionals with the security and function they both need and deserve.  The tactical belt has a hardened steel buckle that has a 6000lb rating. Your off duty holster will feel like it is in a zero-gravity recliner the way it fits perfectly onto the belt.  The stitching and hardware is of an ultimate quality, and could even double as an emergency weapon when times are really tough.  Even with its simplistic design and stature, the 5.11 duty belt is fit for everyday law enforcement, SWAT, or military use. You won’t walk around all day hiking your gear up around your waist. It maintains shape, form, and fit, and also provides an extremely rigid base for a slide or paddle holster, or even that flashlight that is always by your side.

Leather belts can have their advantages to a certain extent, but do not expect the longevity and ruggedness of the 5.11 Operator Belt.  More and more law enforcement professionals are throwing away their elastic belts and not turning back due to the safety and dependability of the fusion nylon mesh of the 5.11 Operator.  OpticsPlanet carries 511 belts, as well as hundreds of other products from 5-11 Tactical.  We are your hub for tactical, police, and military gear.  Find the values you’ve been looking for in our store, here at OpticsPlanet.com.
