High Speed Gear Hsgi Gen 2 Sngle Pistol Taco Blk
The High Speed Gear Gen 2 Single Pistol TACO is a purpose-built magazine carrier designed for shooters and tactical operators who demand lightweight, reliable gear. This single-magazine pouch holds one pistol magazine or similarly sized item and delivers the same proven retention method as the original TACO, with a refined design that shaves nearly 20% off the weight. Whether you're running a duty belt, plate carrier, or chest rig, the TACO's versatility and low profile make it a go-to choice for range work, training, and fieldwork.
Built from laser-cut nylon laminate wrapped over a woven thermoplastic core, the Gen 2 TACO is engineered to last. The molded sides are contoured for smooth, intuitive magazine insertion—no fumbling when seconds count—and streamlined channels keep the integrated shock cord tails secure and out of the way. Half-inch MOLLE grid spacing on the back opens up mounting flexibility: attach it directly to MOLLE-equipped gear, secure it to a standard belt via the included HSG clip, or pair it with an optional HSG OTR Cover to run it as a closed-top or open-top configuration depending on your setup and preferences.
This is everyday-carry and professional-grade gear stripped of excess weight and complexity. Shooters who've run the original TACO appreciate the Gen 2's lighter footprint and refined edges; if you're new to the platform, you're getting the current iteration designed from lessons learned in the field. The black finish is durable and blends seamlessly into most loadouts.
