ITW FastMag™ Pistol
The FastMag™ Pistol [FMP] is built from the same hi-strength, GhillieTEX™ IR reducing, anti-fragmentation polymer as the original FastMag™. Our new FMP reduces reloading time for the operator and can be mounted in the up or down position. This system eliminates the need for traditional top closures while providing a secure point of access. The enhanced urethane tension strap is adjustable to meet the user's preference for removal tension. The FMP is also designed to 'double-stack' on all FastMag™ Gen III & FastMag™ Heavy.
The FastMag™ Pistol Duty Belt is designed with an adjustable/removable belt slide that fits most belts including rigger and duty belts. The FMP Duty belt is also uniquely designed for 'double-stacking' by removing the adjust belt slide.

Gave it a try
ITW FastMag for the pistol were new and the fact that they can accommodate different caliber double stack mags for pistols is awesome as I found both my .40 and .45acp double stack mags fit, just need a little break in time.

Fastmag
A great magazine holder for LEO and Military applications. I am on a Special Operations team and I use only the Fastmag holders for Urban tactical ops and the High Speed Gear TACO carrier for Rural Ops! Got rid of all my Bladetech gear as it did not retain magazines well at all. Only good for range use!

So far... so good!
I like the fact that the magazine holders work for a variety of magazines. This makes it easy for me to not have the need of replacing mag pouches on my duty belt when my weapon preference changes. The Mag pouches are smooth to draw from and hold my P226 40cal mags and Glock 23 40 cal mags perfectly. Getting the magazines back in is a learned skill because the mag lip can get caught on the inside of the pouch, but changing the angle of insertion fixes that problem. It is merely a muscle memory problem that will be fixed with repetition. Two thumbs up!

Rugged, bulky, maybe not for everyone
Definitely not low profile. These are bulky, but rugged. Easy to draw from. Caution: They sit high so if you're trying to pair these up with a chest rack, body armor, or plate carrier then you might run into clearance issues. You can always learn to overcome any quirks in your equipment, but if that's something that would bother you then keep it in mind before you pair this with any torso-worn gear.

perfect

Great mag holder
These are great. I loved their M4 mag holders so I thought I would give these a try. I have a handful and they retain the mags very well, full/empty, wet/dry, clean/muddy. The plastic is sturdy. The strap and nub to hold it on the molle or your belt seems wimpy but after years of use, they have held up well, exceeded my expectations.

Fast mags
Ill start with the only downside to the fast mag... The tension band keeps the magazines locked into place so firmly that there is really nothing fast about the mags until the "break in" period is over. Pretty good piece of equipment for the operators that are using the pistol as a secondary. I'm using 1911 mags in mine and they can be sticky to get out. Although I noticed that the Glock mags pulled a little easier. Other than that this is a solid piece of gear that I would recommend.
