High Speed Gear Hsgi Gen 2 Sngle Rifle Taco Blk

The High Speed Gear Gen 2 Single Rifle TACO is a purpose-built rifle magazine carrier that strips away bulk without sacrificing function. If you're setting up a battle belt, plate carrier, or chest rig and need dependable, no-nonsense mag retention, this Black TACO delivers the carry efficiency that serious shooters, operators, and hunters have relied on for years. The Gen 2 design refines the original with a lighter weight construction and refined molded geometry—all while keeping the core simplicity that made the first version a standard in the industry.

What sets the Gen 2 apart is the thoughtful approach to modularity and adjustability. The integrated shock cord gives you tunable retention without adding bulk, while the contoured molded sides guide magazines in and out smoothly under any lighting or stress level. At nearly 20% lighter than the original TACO, the Gen 2 reduces unnecessary weight—a feature that compounds across a full rig setup. The laser-cut nylon laminate over a woven thermoplastic core balances durability with packability, and the 1/2-inch MOLLE interface on the back means you can mount it to plate carriers, chest rigs, or route it directly to a belt without extra hardware.

Flexibility is built into the design. The Gen 2 runs open-top out of the box, but if your mission calls for a covered setup, High Speed Gear's optional OTR (Over Top Retention) Cover pairs directly with any Gen 2 TACO to convert it on demand. Whether you're running hard drills at the range, working a security detail, or hunting in unpredictable terrain, the ability to switch retention style without swapping carriers is a real advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What magazines will fit in the Gen 2 Rifle TACO?

The Gen 2 is designed to hold one rifle magazine or items of similar size. The contoured sides accommodate standard rifle magazine profiles, but exact fit will depend on magazine width and thickness.

How do I mount this to my rig?

The Gen 2 features 1/2-inch MOLLE spacing on the back, so it pairs directly with MOLLE-equipped plate carriers, chest rigs, and modular belts. You can also mount it flat to a belt using standard MOLLE or compatible attachment hardware.

Can I switch from open-top to covered carry?

Yes. The Gen 2 Rifle TACO ships as an open-top carrier, but High Speed Gear offers an optional OTR (Over Top Retention) Cover accessory that converts any Gen 2 TACO to a covered setup, allowing you to reconfigure your carry style based on your mission.

How much lighter is the Gen 2 compared to the original?

The Gen 2 weighs approximately 20% less than the original Rifle TACO, though the exact reduction varies slightly by SKU due to material sourcing and manufacturing tolerances.
