What's the Best Way to Cant My Mags? - The Kore Swinger Mount

Canting your mag pouches is an excellent way to increase the accessibility of your mags and improve the overall comfort of your belt system. For the sake of ergonomics, when your mags are canted, you can draw in a more fluid and efficient motion, increasing your reload speed and improving your overall comfort. When you're drawing your mag normally, you have to rotate your hand to fit the verticalness of the mag, which can be awkward and uncomfortable. Doing so also adds an unnecessary step that, if you can eliminate, might make all the difference in a critical situation. Canting your mag to fit to your body's natural ergonomics is an excellent way to improve your draw speed, but how do you do that? What's the best way to cant your mags? Today, we plan to cover just that.

The Swinger Mount - Mag Canting Solutions

If you’re looking for canting solutions for your mags that seamlessly integrate with your Kore Molle Battle Belt or your current belt system, then the Kore Swinger Mount is right for you. Designed for speed, flexibility and simplicity, the Kore Swinger Mounts offer you ~55° of rotation in either direction for your pistol and AR mags. The Swinger Mount secures directly onto your mag pouches and seamlessly slides onto your molle belt, locking in place with the included hardware. As simple as it is, it makes a huge difference for the accessibility and comfort of your belt system. The Swinger Mount is currently available in Single Pistol, Single AR and Double Pistol Mag Pouch.

How to Use the Swinger Mount - Single & Double Pistol

The Kore Swinger Mount makes canting your mags simple. Each Kore Swinger Mount comes with one mount, one wedge and the hardware needed to assemble. For single pistol mag pouches, starting from the top, take your wedge and feed it through the back of your mag pouch. Ensure that the flat end of the wedge is fed through the top part of the pouch with the lip of the wedge resting at the top of the mag pouch. Next, using the included hardware, screw the Swinger Mount into the wedge, starting with the top screw. 

See the photo below for reference.

Once you have your top screw secure, you can twist your wedge left or right until you've achieved your preferred angle. Once you have your pistol mag pouch canted exactly how you want, you can screw in the bottom and final screw. To attach your canted pistol mag pouch to your belt, simply thread the Swinger Mount through the molle of your belt.

How to Use the Swinger Mount - AR 

Installing the Swinger Mount for AR mag pouches is very similar to installing the Swinger Mount for Single and Double Pistol mag pouches. Begin by inserting both wedges into the back of your AR mag pouch. Next, take the small backplate and screw it into the wedges using the top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right holes. Now, take your Swinger Mount and set it on top of the back plate. The top hole of the Swinger Mount should fit snug with the middle hole of the backplate. Next, screw in the top screw, connecting your back plate and Swinger mount. 

After you've screwed in the top screw, twist your mag pouch to your desired cant. Once achieved, screw in the bottom screw. To attach your canted mag pouch to your belt, simply thread your Swinger Mount through the molle of your belt.

With that, you have successfully canted your mag pouches using the Kore Essentials Swinger Mount. Canting your mags has never been easier
