I am always looking for really good gear. Especially really good and inexpensive gear. The flashbang grenade pouch is one of those pieces of gear. I have come up with a number of good uses for this sized pouch. But I think I am only scratching the surface. I will leave it up to your imagination to come up with more ideas.
The flashbang grenade pouch I am talking about is this one…
The approximate dimensions are:
- 2.5″ wide
- 2″ deep
- 5″ – 6″ tall (adjustable)
The pouch is made from hevy-duty Cordura nylon, has a strong nylon stealth buckle, and heavy-webbing and MOLLE II compatible straps. The pouch also has a drainage grommet in the bottom of the pouch.
These pouches can be purchased online for $4.25 – $7.95 depending on the website you buy from. Shop around! I got the best deal on eBay for a bulk purchase of them.
Here are some examples of what you can use it for…
UV-5RA with regular/standard battery (L) and the option 3800mAh (R).
Standard UV-5RA fits with perfectly with the pouch flap covering the entire top of the radio.
UV-5RA with the larger, 3800mAh battery. Pouch flap doesn’t cover quite as much of the top of the radio. But it is still a great fit and the radio is very secure.
