That sounds like a good thing to me. I think the first gen Pmags must have been before my time as I'm just getting into this stuff as a hobbyist and anything I used before this year was what was issued to me by my agency. But being able to snap the dust covers onto the bottom sounds handy so they don't get lost. I wonder why newer versions were changed to a degree that they don't do that too.
I also wonder why they're so expensive. I can buy a whole MagPul magazine for $1 less than a MagPul Ranger Plate, yet the latter is a fraction of the material and has less moving parts.

I still like the L plates on USGI mags. But even that little (1/2" or so) addition makes the mag really tall. I already shoot mostly 20 round mags for prone.

Holy 12 year necropost! They do give a little bit more purchase on the mags. I use them, but not on every mag
Wow, what a necro!
FWIW, I've been experimenting with different mag carriage options. One configuration was using a large GP/SAW/Canteen pouch with 4-5 mags stuffed in it. It's a throw back to MACV-SOG. With 4-5 mags stuffed in a pouch not necessarily designed for mags, there's not a lot of "purchase" to get a mag out, so having one in the middle with the ranger plate helps get the whole thing going. It's easier to get the rest of them out after that. I've found the same with enclosed triple mag pouches from Velocity Systems- but the ranger plate adds too much height, so I'm looking at old school 100 mph tape and paracord loops.
