Single magazine capacity - MOLLE/PALS compatible.
Accessibility and retention - Magazine shall (a) allow easy accessibility to provide shooter his/her first choice for reloading; (b) have adequate retention with, without the use of a closure device; (c) item able to remain in pouch during normal combat operations; and (d) have a single closure device, but it must be able to be stowed out of the way. Rationale - The Speed pouch is the first magazine pouch that the shooter will utilize when he needs to re-load. The magazine must be easily removed to facilitate re-loading. The magazine must not be loose in the pouch and must remain secure during combat operations.
Pouch closure - The speed shall have no closure device and maintain magazine security. Rationale - The closure device is for magazine security and must be able to be removed, undone or stowed during combat operations and be re-attachable. No closure device is needed if the pouch maintains magazine security.
Item control - When the magazine is fully inserted in the pouch, a portion of the magazine shall be exposed to allow user to fully grasp the magazine and gain positive control to facilitate a smooth and deliberate one hand reloading of the weapon. Rationale - The magazine must be able to be grasped and controlled in the user's hand without the need to re-adjust the grasp or change position of the magazine prior to placing the magazine in the weapon's magazine well.
