    Yes. Sometimes I actually put my support hand thumb on the bullet tips of mag 2 (as part of a magwell hold) to hold it in during firing. I also rock the 2nd mag into the mag well like inserting an AK mag. This causes the inside of the front of the magwell to push the top round back far enough to cycle properly. I also periodically push the top round back between if there's a pause in firing. I'm just very aware of it.

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.
    That would work, but there are no pmag compatable mag couplers that I'm aware of. Even the MAG GRIP won't work with them.

    In the way of what? I've never had any problems with the empty being in the way when it's on the ejection port side.

    You know, I've gone out of my way to not even bother bringing up or responding to most of your foolishness, and you now have to try to drag me in.

    Why don't you address the issues that the other people brought up in this thread then? You bought your first AR what, a couple of months ago now? And you're already qualified to speak about what makes a good mag coupler (or for that matter, a good mag like in your repeated attempts at Easymag shilling)?

    So, what is it in your vast 2 months of experience with the AR platform that leads you to believe that this particular mag cinch doesn't suffer the same problems as other versions? How many rounds have you put downrange with them trouble-free? How many reloads have you performed with them to ensure that this version somehow addresses the fatal flaw of all mag-couplers; first round jump?

    Inquiring minds want to know.

    Personally, I've seen exactly this version slip and I've seen the top round on the spare mag jump forward (which isn't really fair, since this product admittedly does NOTHING to address that problem) causing problems with the reload.

    Again, I'm not sure I even like the idea of an extra mag hanging off the weapon, regardless of where it resides. However, my experience with mags in a pouch on the stock and the Mag-Cinch have not been stellar. I would try the the Redi-Mag, but the issue with the bolt catch needs to be resolved in a better manner than what I have seen currently available. I will try it if/when Magpul releases the BAD.

    Well I am a fast learner And from reading all the posts and their threads in this forum I have quickly gained a vast knowledge of the rifle know as the AR over the past two happy Months.

    I even feel I have become even a bit of and expert of the AR I can even now quickly remove my bolt carrier group and replace in blindfolded.

    Also after watching some of the great action movies like the new Dark Night and the Shooter and some of great older ones like Full Metal Jacket and Saving Private Ryan I also now consider myself a real combat ready game player.

    Oh about the reload question do you mean reloading spent Ammo. or just reloading my AR and H&K Mags?
