    The Redi Mag might and I say "MIGHT" be good for Police work but for any real combat use it's not my idea of a useful item. I am sure others will differ with me on this but it's what I think.
    Is this knowledge gleaned from your vast experience working with the AR platform?

    I wondered what that noise was-thanks.

    Ouch .... settle down boys.

    To the OP, those do look similar to the mag-cinch. but those look more sleek without the bulky protrusions on the mag-cinch.

    The mag couplers do have there limitations, and there are some good and bad versions out there.

    But to me, it fills a specific role. I keep it in my Home D gun for grab and go purposes.... not bug out, but grab and go see who's trying to break in the house outside or something.

    If circumstances permit me to carry spare mags on my body, then I'll go with a single mag in the gun. The couplers are an option... at tool in the box. Even if I have to mess with the round in the top of mag #2, I'll have something more than an empty gun.

    Do you train to deal with the first round jump? I've seen it happen in mags loaded from 6 rounds on up to 30.

    There is one way a person could avoid the round jump issue. That would be to couple pmags together and leave the cap on the mag that isn't in the gun. Then if you attached some sort of loop to the pmag cap hole on the release tab, when it came time to change mags, you just pull back and up on the loop, the cap comes off and you can switch the mags. Is that very fast? I have no idea since I don't have the stuff to try it and I'm still not sure of what to think on coupled mags. Then one would also have to deal with the loop on the cap catching on stuff as well. It's just an idea I had that's all.

    The problem with coupled mags, as I encountered it, was that I have this empty mag getting in the way. I have not tried the Redi-Mag, but it certainly eliminates that issue.
