| What is the best brand of mag coupler to buy as far as sturdiness of the coupler, the ability to hold either 20 or 30 round mags, and the best type of coupler to not deform the mags themselves? |
h/w, that said, i dont really like the dual mags as it adds on the extra weight and sometimes the mag in use's top rnd pops upward during the AR's use That is something to think about; I'd rather have reliability than extra ammo! Might just go for a buttstock mag pouch. Thanks for the info. |

The Arredondo are best by a mile. The two main reasons, other than the fact that they hold the mags securely are: 1) The mags are far enough apart that you don't smash the edges into your trigger finger when you change to the left one. 2) Because of the spread, you can put both mags at the same height and the resultant combination, especially with Arredondo mag bases, is a great monopod platform (two mags, instead of one), for precision shots. Besides, Ralph is such a great guy! ha ha ha... Seriously, I liked his stuff so much that Wes and I started carrying Arredondo accessories ourselves. Even his expanded magwell, which does look a little over the top, until you try one. |
| My question is - who really uses their mag coupler? I bought a BlackHawk one a little while ago which eliminates the problem with the second mag top round shifting out, it has a little plastic cap that clips over the top, is easy to flip off for a fast mag change, and doesn't require downloading one round. That being said, I have not really used it outside of regular range shooting. Anyone use theirs for 3 gun or anything else that really utilizes it? |
