Attention all Magpul PMAG M3 owners!

+1 for the Kywi, I have the short ones for rifle mags and pistol mags and they are the best, they hold their shape, smooth draw and are very minimalist. I have tried a lot if other and everything else pales in comparison.
 
HSGI tacos work great for pmags and GI metal ones. They also will take an M14/M1A mag or 762 pmag.

I occassionally also use bladetech double mag holders and they hold pmags just fine.
 
I've been using a Haley Strategic D3CRX and the G3 PMags work just fine including with the plastic pouch inserts that kind of lock your magazines in. The plastic inserts will mark the plastic PMags but not scratch them. The pouches are not elastic and are a little oversized to accommodate any kind of magazine and you pretty much need the plastic pouch inserts to retain your magazines if you don't use the elastic loops or you'll lose your mags.

I just received my Esstac Kywi triple tall and also a short plus two pistol pouches. I have full length Lar15 metal mags and the magazine catch was punched out in a way during manufacturing that causes it to snag and really dig into the kydex. In fact after taking the pouch apart, I found the kydex chewed up and took some sandpaper to it to file the rough bits back down. Unfortunately it seems I’ll have to use my PMAGS that run like butter in kydex.

I’ve seen this with other USGI mags. We’ve got some single mag pouch prototypes that my company is developing, and I’ve seen the same thing happen, where the punched out portion of the mag catch hole digs into the plastic. Our initial batch of test pouches used KYWI’s from Esstac, and some snagged, some did not. We’ve since reached out to some Canadian Kydex companies to make inserts specifically for our pouches.
 
Just changed from the cheap condor ones to HSGI tacos and I'll never go back works awesome with all mags M14,BCL102, and AR mags I have PMags and tapco's and they all work awesome :D
 
I am very interested to see what your company comes up with, as I have invested quite heavily into using USGI mags. I like what Esstac has done but I want to be fast like Garant Thumb lol while it took me 10 minutes to get my mag out!
