Howdy comrades. I'm building out a little kit, and I'm being thrifty about it. I need advice for 556 (and 9mm pistol I guess) mag pouches. Are they all the same? Is it possible to go too cheap (ie, Aliexpress)? I want to carry 4 556 mags on this kit, but they have to be split up, since my rig is a vest.

Surplus is your friend. Standard double mag Coyote brown should be cheap enough. Those were my SI when deployed and they worked fine.

I'm mostly getting surplus stuff, but I ended up ordering mag pouches with elastic bands.
