Is the XTM delayed too, or just the mags? That's still showing Spring 2012 http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG511/46

The XTM hand stop does look interesting.

I'd like to change out the floor plates of my existing pmags..
Guys question on the mag link. Recently a firearms instructor in my agency said they are no good unless the right mag is lower than the left so that the ejecting brass does not hit it and go back into the chamber inducing a malfunction. With the mags even it is already lower than the ejection port, and correct me if I'm wrong but unless something's wrong with the rifle the brass should be going up. I think his logic is from the old GI mag couplers that were made of straps and a spacer, allowing the mag to ride up. I have several hundred rounds through mine (with the mags even) and no issues. Anyone else have issue or malfunctions with theirs or is this just one of those "I heard from somewhere sometime some guy had this happen....."
Keep your heads down and your powder dry
One of the big issues with running the coupler is that the top round in the magazine can slide out forward making a mess of a quick reload. that would probably be more of an issue than ejected cases hitting the mag and going back in. Also the rounds are exposed and can get alot of dirt in them if your running around in a dynamic situation, hitting the ground and banging the gun around. Probably wouldn't be an issue with normal range use, but for combat I wouldnt. Something like the redi mag would be ok, as it covers the top of the magazine keeping dirt out, and keeping that top round secured in the magazine.
