FASTmag Pistol Pouches: Not Just for Mags – They Fit Tactical Flashlights and Tools Too

FASTmag Pistol Pouches Fit More Than Just Mags — Tactical Flashlight Compatibility Test

When it comes to modular gear, versatility is key. At Hudson Supplies, we often get asked:
“Can FASTmag pistol pouches hold tactical flashlights?”
The short answer: yes,  many of them can.

 Why It Matters

Operators, law enforcement officers, and airsoft players alike often want to streamline their setup without sacrificing utility. Being able to reuse your FASTmag pistol pouch to carry a SureFire flashlight or similar tool adds tremendous value — especially when every pouch counts on your belt or vest.


? Tested Flashlights That Fit in FASTmag Pistol Pouches

Based on our in-field testing, here are several popular tactical flashlights that fit snugly inside FASTmag pistol pouches:

Flashlight Model Fit Notes
SureFire E1B-MV Backup MV ✅ Tight fit Clip may need repositioning
SureFire G2X MV Combat ✅ Secure fit Ideal with retention cord
SureFire EDCL2-T ✅ Fits both sides Very compatible
SureFire Fury IntelliBeam ⚠️ Slightly large Fits depending on setup & pouch flexibility

 Beyond Flashlights: Multi-Use Potential

 Bonus Use — Because Why Not?

We also couldn’t resist testing a few unexpected items. A Bear Edge folding knife, a Uline utility knife, and yes — even a Romeo y Julieta No. 3 cigar — all fit inside the FASTmag® pistol pouch. While obviously not its intended purpose, it just proves the pouch has more carry options than you'd expect (field notes, anyone?).

We’ve also seen customers use their FASTmag pistol pouches to carry:

  • Multitools

  • Pepper spray

  • Compact radios

  • Small folding knives

It’s this kind of flexibility that makes the FASTmag a favorite in tactical setups.

Ha! I bet you didn’t see this one coming — boom, a tactical broom on your kit.
Okay, I don’t actually expect anyone to run around with a broom strapped to their vest or belt… but these two classic broomsticks are a good reference points, just like the highlighter, to give you a better idea of what fits in a FASTmag pistol pouch.

And yes, that also means your childhood improvised broomstick nunchuck could fit when using two FASTmag pistol pouches side by side. Perfect for cosplay… or tactical ninja vibes.
