a biasing member within the housing; wherein the housing comprises a biasing wall, a bottom wall opposite the biasing wall, an attachment wall, and an outward facing wall opposite the attachment wall, that define a storage space configured to house a stack of magazines; wherein the biasing member is configured to exert pressure on the stack of magazines such that the stack of magazines are advanced within the housing toward the bottom wall and an exit slot on the outward facing wall; wherein the exit slot is sized such that a single magazine from the stack of magazines can be pulled from the housing therethrough; wherein the housing includes a fixed engagement lip integral with the housing that extends from the bottom wall towards the biasing member proximate the exit slot. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The firearm magazine dispenser of claim 1, wherein the exit slot includes an opening in the bottom wall. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The firearm magazine dispenser of claim 1, wherein in order to release the single magazine through the exit slot, the stack of magazines must be biased against the biasing member such that the single magazine does not engage the engagement lip. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The firearm magazine dispenser of claim 1, wherein the housing is bowed away from the outward facing wall. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The firearm magazine dispenser of claim 1, wherein the biasing member is attached to a plate that engages the stack of magazines. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The firearm magazine dispenser of claim 1, wherein the attachment wall includes an attachment portion extending therefrom. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The firearm magazine dispenser of claim 6, wherein the attachment portion includes a dispenser engagement section engaged to the attachment wall and an attachment tab, wherein the dispenser engagement section and attachment tab have different widths. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The firearm magazine dispenser of claim 7, wherein the dispenser engagement section and attachment tab define an attachment gap therebetween. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The firearm magazine dispenser of claim 8, further comprising an attachment mechanism, wherein the attachment mechanism engages the dispenser engagement section. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The firearm magazine dispenser of claim 9, wherein the attachment mechanism comprises an insert that is shaped to engage the dispenser engagement section. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The firearm magazine dispenser of claim 10, wherein the insert is triangle shaped and the dispenser engagement section is x-shaped. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The firearm magazine dispenser of claim 11, wherein the insert comprises an overhanging lip that engages the attachment gap. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The firearm magazine dispenser of claim 9, wherein the attachment portion includes a catch that engages the dispenser engagement section. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The firearm magazine dispenser of claim 13, wherein the catch is movable between a rest state and engaging/disengaging state. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The firearm magazine dispenser of claim 14, wherein in the engaging/disengaging state, the catch is depressed into an opening in the attachment mechanism. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The firearm magazine dispenser of claim 15, wherein in the rest state, the catch extends through the opening. ### Claim 17 (depends on 9) The firearm magazine dispenser of claim 9, wherein the attachment mechanism includes tabs shaped to engage loops on a vest. ### Claim 18 (depends on 9) The firearm magazine dispenser of claim 9, wherein the attachment mechanism is shaped to be worn on a person's torso. ### Claim 19 (depends on 9) The firearm magazine dispenser of claim 9, wherein the attachment mechanism is shaped to be work on a person's hip. ### Claim 20 (depends on 7) The firearm magazine dispenser of claim 7, wherein the attachment portion is shaped to engage a receiving area on the outward facing wall of a second magazine dispenser such that multiple firearm magazine dispensers can be stacked.
