High Speed Gear Hsgi Gen 2 Ext Pistol/Smg Taco Mcb

The High Speed Gear Gen 2 Extended Pistol TACO in Multicam Black is a streamlined magazine pouch built for operators who need quick access to a single long pistol or SMG magazine. Whether you're running a duty belt, a plate carrier, or a chest rig, this MOLLE-mountable pouch delivers the retention and versatility that made the original TACO a staple, now refined for speed and lighter carry.

The Gen 2 design cuts weight by up to 20% compared to the original Extended Pistol TACO through a construction of laser-cut nylon laminate wrapped over a woven thermoplastic core. The result is a pouch that's sleeker without sacrificing durability or function. Contoured molded sides guide magazines in and out with minimal fumbling, while an integrated shock cord locks your round in place with user-adjustable tension. The molded side channels keep shock cord tails neat and prevent snagging.

Mounting flexibility is baked in: the 1/2 inch MOLLE webbing on the back accepts both MOLLE and standard belt attachment. One HSG clip is included to get you started. If you prefer a covered setup, the pouch is compatible with HSG OTR retention covers (sold separately), so you can adapt it to your mission profile without swapping gear.

Built for shooters, medics, and field operators who understand that a good pouch is invisible until you need it—then it just works. MCB (Multicam Black) blends into both urban and tactical environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mount the Gen 2 Extended Pistol TACO to a plate carrier or chest rig?

Yes. The 1/2 inch MOLLE webbing on the back works with any standard MOLLE surface. Attach it directly to a plate carrier, chest rig, or tactical vest using the included HSG clip, or add more clips as needed for a secure fit.

What size magazines does this pouch fit?

It's designed to hold 1 long pistol or SMG magazine. It will also accommodate similarly sized items such as batons, flashlights, or other tools, though the primary application is magazine storage.

Can I add a cover to this pouch?

Yes. The Gen 2 Extended Pistol TACO is compatible with HSG OTR (Over-Top Retention) Cover accessories, which are sold separately. This lets you switch between an open-top and covered configuration depending on your mission.

How does the shock cord retention work?

An integrated shock cord is built into the pouch and runs through channels in the molded sides. You adjust the tension manually to secure your magazine or gear; tighter shock cord = more retention, looser = faster draw. The streamlined side channels keep the cord tails organized and snag-free.
