    "Some testers have indicated hang ups when using tall 3 mag shingles with short bungees--the bungee snagging on the over insertion stop when removing the middle mag first. The stop is ramped to avoid this, however, and we've been unable to duplicate this with the pouch they've had issues with, so we're looking at it closer. From looking at it, if there is any bungee snagging, adding a smudge to the bungee length would solve it."

    Meaning: if you have adjustable pouches, make sure they're not too tight. Therefore the mags are not the problem; having your mag carrier adjusted for a different type of magazine than the one you are carrying is.

    Test you're gear before you roll out - and twice after you change anything in your load-out.

    I cannot get these damn things on!!!

    I just got my Magpul XTM Enhanced rail covers in and tried to snap them on... so far no dice. Does anyone know how to snap these damn things on my gun before I get so pissed that I throw them in the trash?!?!?

    Push harder.

    If you can't, use pliers and they will lock into place. These are certainly more hard core than the earlier standard XTMs, its not just you.

    I am definitely looking forward to checking out the new hand stops. They look like a nice lightweight option... I am hoping that they are MOE+ ish texture wise instead of the traditional plastic feel.

    no they don't have the MOE+ texture to them, just a raised plastic feel similar to a mild stippling.

    Where can I find the new XTM Enhanced?

    I got two of the hand stops and find that I like it installed "backwards" where I can use my index finger as the grab point. If I install it per instructions, it doesn't feel right to me.

    The texturing on the new XTM (came with my hand stop) is different than what was on the CG image on Magpul.com. They changed it last minute and it looks like little tire tracks. Stickiness is great though!
