Warrior Assault Systems Speed SQM Magazine Pouch — MultiCam

The Speed SQM is a universal MOLLE-mount rifle magazine pouch made by Warrior Assault Systems from military-specification 500D nylon. It is designed for operators working under high stress who need rapid access to a spare magazine without compromising compatibility with standard MOLLE/PALS platforms.

The 500D nylon construction with US military-standard stitching provides resistance to UV radiation and mould — two critical factors for extended outdoor use in humid environments or under direct sunlight. The fibres withstand continuous heat up to 142 °C and do not melt below 265 °C, meaning the pouch retains its shape and structural integrity even when briefly exposed to incidental heat sources in operational settings. The integrated IR treatment reduces the infrared signature of the system, a relevant detail for those working with night-vision devices or in scenarios where IR signatures can be detected.

The Speed configuration — open-top with elastic retention — is the key consideration before purchase. Draw is immediate and silent, with no buttons or hook-and-loop to release, and magazine reinsertion is equally fast. The trade-off is passive security: a snap closure or a closed flap retains the magazine more reliably during sudden movements, climbing, or inverted positions. Those who prioritise draw speed and simplicity will find the Speed SQM the right answer; those operating in conditions where the magazine must not fall out under any circumstances may prefer a solution with active retention.

Key features

• Universal MOLLE/PALS compatibility: integrates on any plate carrier, chest rig, or belt with a MOLLE panel, with no additional adapters required.
• Open-top design with elastic retention: magazine draw requires a single motion, with no unlocking step, reducing access time under pressure.
• Military-specification 500D nylon with anti-UV and anti-mould treatment: retains mechanical and colour properties after prolonged exposure to the elements.
• Fibre heat resistance up to a melting point of 265 °C: the pouch does not deform near incidental heat sources.
• Integrated IR treatment: reduces the infrared signature of the kit, relevant when using night-vision devices or in IR-detection scenarios.
• MultiCam pattern: compatible with the most widely used NATO operational uniform across mixed woodland and open terrain environments.
