Esstac shorties and LAR mags

[Captain Smoof]

Anyone run this setup? Are they still reachable?

What does this have to do with the OPs question?

I tough he was talking about the LAR 15 mags but i might be wrong sorry. I’ll leave this post alone lol

I've got a pair of these pouches but use coupled mags. Single mags could work but would be slow if you're planning to use them for gun games I think

Good to know.

I really wish I’d bought more of the ATRS mags! I feel like they’d be perfect.

heard a couple vendors might be getting in a large order of 10/30 LAR mags in 2-3 months.... I'm tired of ####ing around with short LAR mags and will be stocking up to stop fighting with mag pouches and short mags.

TNA had a bunch of 10/30s last time I checked. I can't recall the brand but they've ran well in all the STANAG rifles I've put them in.

Yeah man. I'm on board. Not thrilled about the price, but it may have to be done.

The ATRS mags are perfect in the ESSTAC shorties. I found the LAR mags a little too short. Maybe OK with the plastic loop the original ones came with, but might have retention concerns. Definately OK if you run them coupled.

There was a 5.11 smart phone pouch that worked OK with the single LAR mags, but I think it's now discontinued.

I have the esstac pouches (LOVE them), but use S&J extensions on my LAR mags. You'd be ok with ranger plates, but competing would be very tricky with stock LAR mags.

Can someone remind me why ATRS stopped making their mags? I sadly bought only two.

Are a few training classes I quickly switched to 10/30 LAR metal mags.

I ran my ATRS mags in my ESSTAC pouches but the pistol mags sit about the same height so it made reloading a PITA on the move

I think there was an issue with a supplier or someone they outsourced to, along with uncertainty about changing laws, or rather interpretation thereof. They detailed it in their section as I recall.
