High Speed Gear, Inc. (HSGI) produces some of the most popular shooting-related accessories in the business. From belts to bags, holsters, chest rigs, plate carriers and more, if you’re looking for a piece of gun gear there’s a decent chance they make something you could use. The products for which High Speed Gear is best known, however, are their TACO pouches. These mag pouches are used by warfighters, competitive shooters, and plenty of others. Last year HSGI was contracted to supply the US military with more than 30,000 TACO pouches in conjunction with Heckler & Koch’s fulfillment of the Army’s SDMR (Squad Designated Marksman Rifle) contract.
HSGI’s TACO mag pouches are popular with all kinds of shooters.
Lately, unfortunately, many people have run into issues finding High Speed Gear’s TACOs and other products in stock anywhere, just like many other companies’ offerings. As most of us are painfully aware by now, demand for most guns, ammo, and gear is at all-time highs. Thankfully, HSGI has responded to this issue by announcing an effort to boost their supply. They have recently added additional manufacturing capabilities at their North Carolina facility, so hopefully, better High Speed Gear availability will be on the way soon. The press release detailing this announcement reads as follows.
High Speed Gear offers their products in several camo patterns and solid colors, such as the OD Green options seen here.
