FASTmag Pistol Pouches: Not Just for Mags – They Fit Tactical Flashlights and Tools Too
Posted by Simon on Aug 5th 2025
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.
