Esstac KYWI+ Single M4 SHORTY / Pistol KYWI Pouch (Stacked)

I have it on my HSGI Slim Grip belt, and it is solid. Pros: Doesn't sag (even on just 2 rows of MOLLE) Excellent magazine retention(easily adjustable too) Light Weight Cons: A little on the bulky side, but not horrible

Wrote a similar review on the M4/pistol KYWI pouch... I'm using Glock pistol mags and a Magpul 556 mag in this on a soft armor chest rig. I love the idea of two pistol mags and a 556 mag and having the KYWI retention for both M4 and pistol but on a chest rig there isn't enough molle to kee the pouches from sagging out from the weight. If they made the molle come higher like the double M4/pistol pouch (not SHORTY version), there'd be better support for the weight of the ammo. I wish they would make the M4/pistol pouches both have the KYWI retention for both the M4 and pistol pouches but have more molle on the back for better support for the weight of 3 full magazines

Another great piece of gear from Esstac with superb assistance from SKD. The piece is pretty big but still fits on the battle belt just perfect.

Looked a bit bulky at first glance but worked well with my magazines.

Great pistol/happy mag pouch. The kywi inserts have excellent retention, thought I might need to add shock cord but it hold on tight. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the kydex inserts are not beveled on the top edge. It makes it smoother to insert mags when not looking. All in in all I would buy another and I might.

Replaced a fast mag on my belt. It works great for me but might stick out too much on a larger frame. Good retention on both rifle and pistol mags

This was my second shorty. Loved the first and came back for a second. That should say it all.

I am currently at a 2 week firearms instructor school and I absolutely love the pouches. They were a little expensive, but exactly what I wanted.

I thought they looked great but was turned off by the price and tried a variety of other items. After not being totally satisfied I bought some of the ESSTAC gear (M4, pistol, AR10 pouches) I wished I had bought these to start with. They are slick and low profile. Hold the mags great. I bought the shorty pouches and they hold tight. No need for a long pouch for security. These will not fall out. I had a love hate relationship with the malic clips but eventually got the hang of them. They allow the pouch to be very low profile. The construction is top notch. I went back and purchased a 2nd round after I received the first batch.
