silverplate Posted July 3, 2021 Share #2 Posted July 3, 2021 What is a dump pouch? Never heard that term before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomorgan Posted July 3, 2021 Share #3 Posted July 3, 2021 When unsnapped the pouch then hung open end down and the shells fell into your hand for loading, very common method of carrying your extra rounds in the wheel gun era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottz63 Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted July 3, 2021 Nick name sort of thing for these. This pouch is generally worn upside down. When you open the pouch flap down, the ammo "dumps" out into your hand. There is also another hidden snap inside. You can wear it right side up and then using the hidden snap inside you can flip it down and also :dump" the ammo. This requires an extra step though. Better to just wear it upside down.
