A device for carrying an ammunition magazine has a band which encircles a conventional magazine and which has two downwardly extending plastic tabs. The two plastic tabs are spaced sidewardly to define an downwardly opening, downwardly extending gap, which permits the tabs to be received within openings in two adjacent loops presented by a standard MOLLE webbing on a Pouch Attachment Ladder System or PALS grid on a vest or other clothing item. The tabs are shaped to slide behind standard MOLLE webbing and engage the webbing to hold the magazine securely until the user grabs the magazine and pulls it away from the MOLLE webbing. The tabs are biased towards the magazine, and have a lower protrusion which engages beneath a belt, allowing the same device to be attached to a belt.

The device of claim 5 wherein the portions of the upper element which engage and grip the magazine comprise an encircling split ring having a first portion defining a first end which is spaced from a second end of a second portion; wherein the tabs extend downwardly from, these portions, and wherein a fastener extends between the ring first portion and the second portion, the fastener being adjustable to clamp the magazine within the ring. 7. The device of claim 5 wherein the first tab has a main segment which extends downwardly from the upper element, and wherein the second tab has a main segment which extends downwardly from the upper element, the main segments having outside edges, and wherein the first tab and second tab are bendable towards each other to reduce the distance between the tab main segment outside edges to allow the first tab and second tab to be inserted within two adjacent upwardly opening loops. 8. The device of claim 7 wherein the first tab and the second tab decrease in width as they extend downwardly from a protrusion, such that the decreased width portions of the tabs are receivable within upwardly opening loops on the support, further downward motion of the tabs into the loops causing the tabs to displace towards one another until the protrusions have passed through and extend beneath the loops. 9. The device of claim 7 wherein each tab main segment has an outside relief below where the tab extends from the upper element, such that the tabs narrow as they extend downwardly, then widen at a protrusion, and then narrow again as they terminate in feet, such that where the distance between the two protrusions is wider than the width of two adjacent loops in a carrier, the tabs may be urged towards one another, narrowing the width of the device and allowing the tabs to pass through said two loops, and when fully inserted, the tab reliefs are received within the loops, and the protrusions are beneath the loops. 10.
