The Ultimate Accessory for Off-Body or Vest Carry Sometimes a standard hip holster isn't an option, or you need to mount a backup weapon to your plate carrier or tactical pack. The Rothco MOLLE Concealed Carry Pouch transforms any MOLLE-compatible surface into a secure, discreet holster. Unlike bulky hardshell holsters that expose your weapon, this pouch completely encloses the firearm, protecting it from the elements and keeping it out of sight while ensuring it remains accessible in seconds.

The main compartment features a large Internal Loop Field and includes a Universal Hook & Loop Holster. This allows you to position your firearm at the exact angle and depth you prefer for a smooth draw. A secondary Front Zippered Pocket provides dedicated space for spare magazines, identification, or concealed carry permits.

Key Features

  • Universal Fit: Includes an adjustable hook & loop holster insert that fits most standard handguns, from sub-compacts to full-frame 1911s.
  • MOLLE Integration: Two vertical MOLLE straps on the rear allow for secure attachment to tactical vests, assault packs, or battle belts.
  • Rapid Access: The main compartment features a U-shaped dual-zipper design with paracord pulls, allowing you to rip the pouch open quickly under stress.
  • Discreet Profile: Looks like a standard utility or admin pouch, preventing observers from identifying that you are armed.
  • Durable Construction: Built from rugged heavyweight polyester (typically 600D) to withstand field use and resist abrasion.

Why It Matters Versatility is a tactical advantage. This pouch allows you to move your sidearm from your waist to your chest rig for vehicle operations, or attach it to the side of a "Bug Out Bag" for hiking. It offers protection and concealment without sacrificing accessibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Rothco MOLLE Concealed Carry Pouch fit a full-size 1911 or only compact pistols?

Yes, the universal hook & loop holster insert accommodates everything from sub-compact carry guns to full-frame 1911s. The main compartment measures 9.5" x 6.5" x 1.5", providing enough depth and width for larger handguns. The adjustable holster insert lets you position your firearm at the exact angle and depth you prefer, ensuring a secure fit whether you're carrying a Glock 19, Sig P320, or Springfield 1911. The internal loop field gives you complete customization for your specific sidearm.

Why would I mount this on a plate carrier instead of using a traditional drop-leg holster?

Vehicle operations and confined spaces make hip or thigh holsters impractical. Mounting the Rothco MOLLE pouch on your plate carrier keeps your sidearm accessible while seated in patrol vehicles, helicopters, or tactical transports. The chest-mounted position also prevents interference with seat belts, body armor side plates, and rifle slings. Plus, the discreet profile looks like a standard admin pouch, maintaining operational security in mixed environments where overt weapon display isn't appropriate.

Does the dual-zipper design on the Rothco pouch allow one-handed access under stress?

Absolutely. The U-shaped dual-zipper configuration with paracord pulls is designed for rapid deployment. You can grip both pulls simultaneously and rip the pouch open in one motion, even with gloved hands or under high-stress conditions. Unlike single-zipper pouches that require precise manipulation, this design prioritizes speed. Once open, the internal hook & loop holster releases your firearm cleanly without snag points, making it ideal for backup weapon scenarios.

Will this pouch work on a Bug Out Bag or hiking pack that has MOLLE webbing?

Yes, the two vertical MOLLE straps on the rear attach securely to any MOLLE-compatible surface, including tactical backpacks, assault packs, and Bug Out Bags. This makes it perfect for backcountry carry where a traditional belt holster isn't comfortable during long hikes. The 600D polyester construction resists abrasion from pack straps and weather exposure. Mount it on the side panel or hip belt of your pack for quick access while keeping your sidearm protected and concealed from other hikers.

How does the Rothco MOLLE Concealed Carry Pouch compare to hardshell Kydex holsters for tactical vests?

Unlike rigid Kydex holsters that expose your weapon's outline and require specific gun models, the Rothco pouch offers universal fit and complete concealment. The soft-sided design compresses against your body or gear, reducing snag hazards during vehicle entry or building clearance. The front zippered pocket adds functionality for spare magazines or permits—something hardshell holsters can't provide. While Kydex offers faster draws in competition, this pouch prioritizes versatility, protection from elements, and operational discretion for real-world tactical and civilian applications.
