High Speed Gear Hsgi Gen 2 Sngle Rifle Taco Mc

The High Speed Gear Gen 2 Single Rifle TACO is a purpose-built magazine pouch designed for shooters who demand reliability without excess bulk. Whether you're running a chest rig, plate carrier, or belt setup, this rifle magazine holder delivers quick access and secure retention in a package that's noticeably lighter than its predecessor. The Gen 2 refinement strips away weight while keeping the same proven functionality that made the original a standard in tactical and hunting circles.

Built from laser-cut nylon laminate over a woven thermoplastic core, the Gen 2 TACO holds a single rifle magazine or similarly sized item with ease. The contoured molded sides guide magazines in smoothly and extract just as cleanly—no fumbling when seconds matter. An integrated shock cord handles retention adjustment on the fly, so you can dial in exactly how much grip you want depending on your load and how rough you're running your gear.

Mounting flexibility is a core strength. The 1/2-inch interval MOLLE webbing on the back means you can attach this pouch to any MOLLE-compatible platform: carrier, chest rig, assault pack, or belt system. Want to upgrade it later? An optional HSG OTR (Over Top Retention) Cover converts the TACO from open-top to covered configuration, letting you adapt the pouch to mission requirements without buying new gear. At nearly 20% lighter than the original TACO, the Gen 2 is engineered for operators and hunters who count every ounce.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I mount this TACO to?

The Gen 2 TACO's MOLLE backing (1/2-inch interval webbing) mounts to any MOLLE-compatible gear: plate carriers, chest rigs, assault packs, or MOLLE panels on tactical belts. It can also be mounted directly to belts without MOLLE.

Can I convert this to a covered pouch later?

Yes. The Gen 2 TACO is compatible with the optional High Speed Gear OTR (Over Top Retention) Cover, which lets you switch between open-top and covered configurations depending on your mission needs and gear setup.

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

The Gen 2 weighs approximately 20% less than the original Rifle TACO, though the exact weight reduction varies by SKU. The laser-cut nylon laminate and woven thermoplastic construction delivers the durability and retention of the original in a trimmer, lighter package.

How does the retention system work?

An integrated shock cord provides adjustable retention that you can customize on the fly. The updated molded sides feature channels that keep the shock cord tails organized and in place, so the pouch stays clean and functional without loose cord flopping around.
