Another vote for Redimag/Redimod. It keeps a spare magazine handy and you wont lose 1/2 of your ammo loadout if you have to dump a mag during a malfunction. Weight wise, its 1 more pound . Not really a big deal for me so far.

As has been said about a dozen times, Redi-Mag/Mod is the way to go. I had one for a while and liked it but, like an idiot, I sold it.
If it's something you need right away, I'd look at a mag coupler. They work okay and will get you by until you pick up a RM.

-VERITAS VINCIT-
Duty rifle carries a redi-mag w/2 20s. When the DDM4 arrives it'll wear the new aluminum Redi-mag and it'll hit the street.
Granted, all my AR trigger time has been with a Redi-Mag. So, manual of arms, weight distribution, etc. is second nature. Those who have more exposure than I have said the transition isn't too bad.
The op should have just turned this into a poll...
Redi-mag/mod> 90%
Duct Tape> 9%
All other stupid crap> 1%
I voted duct tape, but it had to be done. A. Marine B. from Indiana![]()
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood for something, sometime in your life.----Sir Winston Churchill
If you are switching from the 2nd generation of the Redi Mag to the aluminum one there is no difference in operation.
The first gen has no separate mag release. It is tied into the rifle's magazine release and drops both mags simultaneously. The 2nd gen, Redi Mod, and aluminum version has the separate mag release.
Besides the weight savings benefit of the Al. version it is also a much better design. Especially the way it mounts. Excellent machining & finish (something lacking in previous versions) as well.

That got me thinking about something. Two things about running with an empty redi-mag...
Damage
Is there potential to damage the redi-mag running it without a magazine.... say you are running drills and you end up with an empty redi-mag... it bounces against your chest, the dirt, etc. Is it susceptible to potential damage?
Comfort
I would assume a redi-mag with a magazine will lay against the body correctly when using a sling. How is it when the redi-mag is empty? Does it snag/catch against chest gear, etc.
Here are some close ups of the redimag on my gun.
