Who This Is For
The HSG Gen 2 Extended Pistol SMG TACO is ideal for competitive shooters, military and law enforcement personnel, and serious firearms enthusiasts who carry extended pistol magazines or SMG mags like those for MP5, CZ Scorpion, or SIG MPX platforms. Its MultiCam Black colorway makes it equally at home on tactical plate carriers, chest rigs, and duty belts where a low-profile, high-performance mag pouch is non-negotiable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What magazines will fit in the HSG Gen 2 Extended Pistol SMG TACO?
The Gen 2 Extended Pistol SMG TACO is designed to accommodate long or extended pistol magazines as well as SMG magazines — including those for the MP5, CZ Scorpion EVO, SIG MPX, and similar platforms. It can also hold similarly sized items like compact batons or tactical flashlights, making it one of the most versatile mag pouches available.
How does the retention system work, and can I adjust it without tools?
The TACO uses an integrated shock cord retention system that wraps around the inserted magazine to hold it securely. The tension is fully adjustable without tools — simply tighten or loosen the cord to dial in the right amount of retention for your specific magazine and preferred draw speed. This allows a snug fit for skinnier mags and a firmer hold for heavier SMG magazines.
Can I use this pouch on a belt instead of a MOLLE vest or plate carrier?
Yes. The Gen 2 Extended Pistol SMG TACO features a rear MOLLE backer with ½-inch interval webbing slots that support both standard MOLLE/PALS panel attachment and direct belt mounting. For duty belts or rigger's belts up to approximately 1.75 inches wide, the pouch can be threaded directly onto the belt without any additional adapter.
