Extra Ammo

While I'm thinking about extra ammo on patrol, here is the new more compact Maxpedition "Mag Bag Double" I just received.( click here for specs )It will fit 4 30 round mags upfront and 2 pistol mags on the side. Inside space is very limited, but lined with soft hook and loop.  My plan is to transport this back and forth daily from the vehicle.  This will allow me to keep a fresh snack inside, as well as other things I don't want exposed to the extreme Texas temps when left in the car. Also, the smaller size was needed so allow it to stay up front with me at all times, even if I have a front seat passenger. 

I removed the waist belt, because I'm unlikely to use it, the fewer things I have around me to snag on stuff the better.  On the molle side I put a sheath to hold a multi-tool and my Spyderco Resue.  I already had some hook and loop shotshell holders from High Speed Gear Inc. so they worked out nicely on the inside of the bag. They can be ripped out and put in my pocket if so needed. The quality of the bag is standard Maxpedition stuff, as expected, overall it's well made, water resistant and should last.  Basically, I am using it like an Active Shooter bag, extending its use without impeding function. 


What's In My "Mini-Patrol Bag"

Realizing the intended purpose for me is primarily ammo, it's holding: 2 30 round P-mags, 2 Glock 17 Mags, 3 HSGI Shotshell holders with 10 rounds of buckshot and 5 rounds of slugs, Spyderco Resue, Gerber Multitool, Fenix PD-32 flashlight, 4 CR123 batteries, mechanix gloves, light stick, Advil, Power Crunch Whey Protein Bar, travel size Sunscreen.
