Genuine USSOCOM SPEAR ELCS Pistol Pouch | 9mm Single Mag | Safariland 2004 | M81 Woodland | NOS
Description
A highly sought-after piece for dedicated collectors of early Global War on Terror (GWOT – Operation Enduring Freedom & Operation Iraqi Freedom) and turn-of-the-millennium U.S. Special Operations gear. While rifle and grenade pouches came standard in every SPEAR ELCS Basic Kit, the Pouch, Magazine, 9MM, Single (NSN: 8465-01-A12-9499) was a standalone Optional / Ancillary Component. Never included in standard issue kit bags, these pouches were ordered separately in limited quantities for US Navy SEALs, US Army Special Forces (Green Berets), and 75th Ranger Regiment personnel.
Manufactured by renowned defense contractor Safariland Ltd., Inc., this pouch is tailored to hold a single double-stack 9x19mm pistol magazine (specifically for the issue Beretta M9 or the SIG Sauer P226 / Mk25 favored by Navy SEALs). In the field, SOF operators also frequently used this exact pouch to carry a multitool (Leatherman / Gerber) or tactical handheld flashlight.
