The Alpha-Xi magazine pouches have evolved from the Alpha-X mag pouches introduced in early 2018. DAA listened to customer-feedback, both positive and negative, and worked to develop their next generation pouch that builds on the strongest features of the Alpha-X pouch, while addressing and resolving its weaknesses.

The new pouch has a striking modern look with large side cut-outs around the tension wheel. The smaller wheel used is not only convenient to rotate but now make it possible to easily mount a large magnet on the outside face of the pouch body.

The main advancement in the Alpha-Xi design is the manner in which the belt-hanger ball-joint attaches to the pouch body. The dove-tail solution from the Alpha-X were occasionally a weak point when the pouches were hit hard, as when going prone or catching a magazine on a barricade or table edge. In the new Alpha-Xi design, the ball-joint is attached using a custom-made wide-head screw which fits through the aluminum side wall of the pouch, making it extremely durable and strong.

The Alpha Xi pouch body offers 8 connection points to choose from – three height positions each for Right-hand or Left-hand shooters, and two height options for bullets-out mounting. A Key-seat engagement is used in combination with the custom wide-head screw, to prevent any possible wiggle, movement or weakness.

The ball joint is held in the aluminum belt hanger using a pressure coupling with a large T25 Torx M6 Screw. This offers a totally secure lock up and the option to make minute adjustments to the pouch’s angle and tilt.

To further elevate the quality and durability of the product, the Allen screws have all been replaced with T20 and T25 Torx-head screws, and a custom made key which incorporates both these sizes is included.

The Alpha-Xi utilizes the same wrap-around spacers (but not identical parts), which align all magazine sizes in the center of the pouch body, while fully enveloping them with polymer, to prevent any possible binding and to create the smoothest draw of the magazine.

The spacer system incorporates a height-adjustable bridge support under the magazine, allowing the user to determine how deeply the magazine seats into the pouch.

Three sets of spacers are included as standard with every pouch, to fit all double-stack magazines (excluding the very large Glock/HK .45 mags). A single stack spacer adaptor is available too and is sold as an accessory. To buy click  Here.

And finally, a dash of color and personalization can be added with the laser-cut plastic inlays, available for user installation in several colors.

For Option: Red, Gold, and Silver Inlay only

• These inlays will fit into all the various pockets on the Alpha Xi pouch body. Check the fit first for all pieces before removing the 3M tape from the back. Most pockets are unique and require their specific piece. Do not glue an insert in the pocket you plan to attach the Ball Joint to.
• Please note that these inlays have a protective transparent film on their front and 3m adhesive tape cover on their back. Both should be peeled off before installation.

In order to install the inlays do the following:

• Carefully break the pieces out of their frame. There are several small bridges holding them in place which can be broken by hand.
• If you wish, you can use a knife to clean off the tails left by the bridges, but these won’t really be visible once installed.
• Check you have the correct inlay in hand for the pocket you are addressing. Peel off the transparent film from the front, as well as the 3M adhesive cover from the back.
• Position each inlays into their correct pockets in the pouch body and fit them in place.
• Should you wish you remove the inlays after installation, you can do so using the small holes drilled through the pouch body. In order to access these holes, you will need to remove all plastic spacers first. Then, using a sharp tool (like a small hex key) you can push on the inside of the inlay until it comes loose in the corner. Then, gently work it out of its pocket. Note that the inlay may break when removed.

For option: Alpha-Xi Pouch only

• NOTE: This is an Alpha-Xi Magazine Pouch without Inlay!
