The Kydex Customs VMP-1 Extended 48R Magazine Carrier is engineered to securely retain VMP-1 Extended 48R magazines when used with the magazine cover fitted. Built for demanding military, tactical and airsoft environments, it offers secure retention, flexible mounting options and a low-profile footprint.

Unlike traditional nylon pouches that rely on Velcro flaps or bungee retention, this carrier uses a passive Kydex retention system to grip the magazine body. Multiple adjustable retention points allow the user to fine-tune the level of resistance, balancing security with draw speed for training or operational requirements.

Retention is adjusted using the retention screws positioned along the outer edge of the carrier. Tightening or loosening these screws with a Phillips head screwdriver increases or reduces the grip on the magazine. Once set, the use of Threadlock or Loctite is recommended to prevent screws loosening over time.

The carrier supports ambidextrous setup and can be configured with magazines facing either forwards or backwards. The mounting system can be repositioned to suit left- or right-side placement, and identical carriers can be linked together for a compact double-stack configuration.

Mounting Options

• MALICE Clips – Injection-moulded, heavy-duty clips designed for secure attachment to MOLLE platforms or belts. Once locked in place, they remain secure until intentionally disengaged with a flat-tipped tool.
• DCL Combat Loop – Adjustable, durable belt mount with an integrated locking mechanism, suitable for belts up to 2 inches wide.
• Shooters Belt Mount – Designed for two-piece shooter belts, constructed from layered laser-cut Curv and 3M One-Wrap to fit belts up to 2.25 inches with no lateral movement.
• Low Profile Belt Slider – Ultra-lightweight, low-profile Curv mount available for 1.5", 1.75" and 2" belts, ideal for covert or plain-clothes applications.

What’s Included

• 1 × VMP-1 Extended 48R Magazine Carrier

Kydex Colours & Cordura Wrapping

The magazine carrier is available in a full range of coloured Kydex options. Colours are blended to match Cordura fabrics used across the range, ensuring a consistent appearance with existing equipment.

Optional 500D or 1000D Cordura wrapping is genuine and NIR compliant, reducing reflectivity under night vision and minimising noise on contact with other equipment. In areas of complex geometry, such as the front fold, slight fabric lift may occur; this does not affect fitment or functionality.
