Pursuit Pods Review

Pursuit Pods aren't too well known, but they were definitely worth looking into. I use mine for a pair of TPX's, but you may find your own use (paintball or not) for them.

Features listed on the Pursuit Pods website:

1. Seven individual chambers within the pod. 

2. Rugged rigid outer material. 

3. Innovative spring loaded cap with top sliding trap doors.

4. The pursuit pod holds 105 paintballs. 

5. Designed and built by a Paintball field owner with 20 years experience.

6. Excellent for storing non paintball related items

I bought a couple pursuit pods to use with my dual TiPX setup. The kind of pods you order depends on what you plan to use them with. All pods use the same 7 chamber design, but the volumes are different.

Pods and their primary uses:
-Pursuit Pod 70: Holds 70 paintballs total. 10 in each chamber. Ideal for stock class players who want to cut back on 10 round tubes.
-Pursuit Pod & CRC: Each pod holds 105 paintballs total.
-Pistol Pod: 8 paintballs per chamber for a total of 56 paintballs. Excellent for Tiberious Arms magazines and the old style TPX magazines.
-TPX Pistol Pod: 7 paintballs per chamber for a total of 49 paintballs. Excellent for the newer TiPX magazines.

Ordering/Shipping:
I placed an order for two of the TPX pistol pods and had them at my door within a week. No issues with the ordering process and fast shipping. You won't hear any complaints from me here.

Durability: These pods feel strong. The honeycomb design provides extra reinforcement for the outer shell, so I have no worries about crushing them. The lid also feels surprisingly robust. Even the hinge seems quite durable. There is a good amount of plastic around the metal pin that holds the lid to the pod. It is a tad bulky, but it is a good trade considering how many pod lids I have snapped.
The lid itself is thick enough to accommodate two small sliding doors. One on the edge, and one dead center. I don't see any way you could really break these either.
5 out of 5 stars.

Ease of use:
I did not buy these to reload a magazine in the middle of a fire fight. If you do, then you will look at this much differently than me. The main reason I bought this is to reload magazines during a lull or quiet moment in a game. No matter what (whether ten round tubes or these), reloading your magazines on the field is going to be tedious compared to emptying a pod into a hopper. Utilize those quiet moments to reload your empty magazines.
For the use I just stated, I don't think there is another product out there I would rather use. Ten round tubes work okay (after cutting them to hold 7 balls), but I would much rather keep track of one pistol pod than 7 cut down tubes.
Another benefit of this pod over tubes is you won't need a dump pouch. Just shove this into any 50 round pod holder and you're good to go.

Loading a pursuit pod is just like any other pod. Just pop the lid open and pour paintballs in until all the chambers are topped off. When emptying into a magazine or feed tube, open one of the doors (center or outer edge of lid), rotate the lid to a chamber of your choosing and empty.

Overall, I really like these so far. They probably aren't a necessity for the guy touting an electro around, but for the pistol guys I found nothing better. If you are out there fumbling around with tubes trying to reload your magazines, you may want to give these a shot. I carry one or two of them out there for the average/long rec games (with 6 or 7 mags) and doubt I will ever need more.
