I really wanted to like this pouch as it looks good and is well made. However, the mags seat way too deep in the pouch, and the magnet retention system seems pretty gimmicky. The magnet is stronger on the outside than on the inside - makes no sense. The retention is coming from the elastic more than anything, combined with the fact that only 1/2" of my hi power mags are exposed. The retention isn't that strong so they're easy to remove, but difficult to initially grab as well. I know there are better pouches out there, so I'm going to return this and go with another product.
Pros: integrated molle straps, stitching quality
Cons: mags seat too deep, magnets do very little
Would recommend: No

Excellent quality product. I love the magnets holding the magazines in place with out a cumbersome flap or retention strap. The only down fall, but only a minor one is that magazine inserts very deep making a quick reload a little difficult to get your hand on the mag. When running drills I only insert the magazine about 2/3 of the way in, and the magnet is situated at the top of the puch so it still has a very firm hold. The ABU color matches Foliage green perfectly. I like that this pouch will my Sig 226 mags and also hold my 1911 mags. No need to switch out pouches.
Pros: Good construction
Cons: Pouch is a just a bit too deep.
Would recommend: Yes

These mag pouches are great and attach well to my chest rig. It's a tight fit and the pouches feel very secure. The magnets kept the magazines secured during run-and-gun courses of fire. I would recommend using higher capacity magazines. I was using Glock 19 15-round magazines and the pouch really swallowed them up. The Glock 17 round magazines were more ergonomically suited for the pouch.
Pros: Durable, works well, attaches securely to molle platform
Cons: Multicam pattern only shows up on the back of the pouch
Would recommend: Yes

These work great and the trade off is accessibility and low profile vs positive security. Fast and works as designed. Won't hold mags in if you are inverted or in a helicopter hard landing, but then that would be the least of your problems.
Pros: Well Made, low profile, works as designed
Cons: Won't hold your mags in if upside down during a hard landing
Would recommend: Yes

My only complaint with this item is the amount of mag that is available to grip during reloads. I'm using them with Glock 22 mags and there's only about an inch of mag to grip. I was thinking about putting something in the bottom of the pouch to allow the mag to stick up more. Pouches attach easily to MOLLE gear. Haven't had them long enough to comment on durability. Overall, I'm happy with the product, I'm just going to have to work with them a little.
Pros: Great retention, easy to attach to MOLLE
Cons: Doesn't leave much mag to grab.
Would recommend: Yes
