Ever Heard of this? Want it? It's designed by a veteran and looks pretty cool. Does anybody own one and wanna provide a small review? I am thinking of buying it but at that price, I'm gonna wait for more info.

ok...that's cool.

Cool design, except for that thing about putting empty mags back in your magazine pouches...

 

Why would I want to put an empty mag back in a pouch where you train to draw fresh mags from in order to save a half second? That's just asking to draw an empty mag when when I really wanted a full one.

 

Here is a better TTP - transition to your blaster to save your life, or just let the empty mag fall out of the magwell as you speed reload.

 

Retaining empty mags should not be high on the priority list while you have some jerk trying to kill you. If you have time/distance/cover/support then you can take the .5 seconds and go to your dump pouch with an empty. Otherwise dump that mag in the floor and pick it up after you are a winner.

 

If you are tac-loading or reloading with retention (swapping a partially full mag for a full mag) and time is of the essence because you are in a gunfight, you are wrong. You should be pressing that trigger and emptying that mag to solve the immediate problem, not topping off.

 

I see no use for this product as advertised other than to build training scars as you keep the range nazis happy with a clean deck with no mags. I would be very curious to see the rusumé of the Marine that developed this.

 

I know a Marine that will spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair because of the stupidity taught in the Marine Corps about placing empty mags back in pouches.

I learned in Vietnam in 1968 that the easiest way to retain a empty mag is to just stuff it in your shirt. That's when you have the luxury of doing so. However, in many military combat situations and in all LE applications I'm with HE on this. Drop the mag it is of no use to you.
