"Mag pouch" is the most common term I've heard/read/used.

"Mag carrier" is also common. As is "mag holder", which isn't listed as an option.

But "mag holster" is a term I've rarely heard/read, likely to avoid confusion with the more ubiquitous (pistol) holster.

Good callout. I added Mag holder as an option.

I voted “mag pouch.” That said, when I’m referring to one of your company’s products, I always refer to it as the proper noun “Magholder;” the term “pouch” just doesn’t fit for me in that context.

IMO, Mag pouch only if it's soft like leather or nylon.

Calling it a carrier/holder covers all descriptions for them all.

Any are correct, but I associate holsters with the gun. For magazines I usually use carrier.

Do not care what you want to call it as long as it works and gets the job done as intended. ................. drill sgt.

I personally call it a magazine pouch but have no problem with any of the listed choices.

I consider them two different things.

Mag pouch makes me think nylon (cordura) or leather.

Mag holder makes me think Kydex.

Most certainly me just being weird but you asked Smile
