I saw this the other day while surfing. Anyone have any experiences with it? Comments?

I've used something similar, but I'm not sure if its the same one. Its a quick way to slap a mag pouch on most things, and works well enough. I think there are two versions, an older and newer one.

Not sure if I have one floating around over here, if I do, I'll get some pictures of it up.

The biggest thing I was interested in was if it would work with Magpul PMAGs, and they do.

The Gen 1's were a bit bulky and took up a lot of room on a rig, the new Gen 2's are smaller and fit the mag a lot better. They also use a thick rubber band (like the "Live Strong" band) which can be adjusted up or down to increase or decrease tension. Gen 1's used elastic. For added security a "jump strap" can be added as well. These appear to be a good, secure solution for a quick mag that doesn't bounce out of an open pouch. I'm considering adding one to my rig for a test run.

Sounds like you are pretty familiar with the product, if you end up doing a test run, and want to do a write up on it, I would be more than happy to put it up in the review section if you have any interest.

I'd love to, I'll put something together in between reports. I'm curious if anyone else has used it, seems to be a little know product.

used one down range, worked well enough, just had issues when getting in the weeds, the dust made it tricky to use on occasion... overall it was a 1 & 3/4 thumbs up.
