I had a ITW Fastmag mounted about 10 o'clock as a "go-to" mag pouch. In other words, that's the first position I would reach for mag changes. It made for a convenient and fast mag change after endless reps.
While the fastmag is a handy item it is subject to dropping the mag when you go prone. Spewing mags on the deck isn't overly handy. After some searching I decided to give the HSGI Taco a try.
The mag sits much deeper and adjusting the tension on the mag is far easier. Mounting these make you want to say words like @(@#(@# and @^!(#)* and furthermore (@*#)@&*&*. Holy crap. I did find the use of a Molly Stix (a new product at SKD Tactical) made mounting far easier.
I went with the double decker to move pistol ammo off the front of the plates and allow me to lay lower prone.
So far doing dry work in the office it seems to be mounted well and feels good. That, of course, means diddly so I look forward to getting these out in the real world.
Which leads me to a slight modification to allow for training in a PC.....
