   Looks like solid kit. I like how you can run mags inverted to accommodate a more dynamic loadout. Anyone have experience using these?

     A dynamic loadout?

   I’m always super curious whenever I see these hard polymer mag retention devices. I wonder as to how much abuse these things can withstand. IE How much force is required to shear it from the molle it’s mounted to? Something I might imagine happening while rapidly exitig a vehicle. What happens when someone runs this thing into a doorframe inside a building? What happens when this thing takes a round with a loaded mag inside? Is there spalling?

   Just general curiosities…

     I’d imagine they’re built similar to the plastic 1606 frames. Tough enough to withstand servere punishment while still able to flex to a certain degree.

   What is the appeal for the inverted mags? Has anyone ever really mounted them upside down?

     I would assume the advantages (real or perceived) of running your mags inverted would be:

     1: It leaves more PALS “real estate” available above the mags on the plate carrier.
     2: It could theoretically provide faster reloads due to keeping the mags oriented the same as they would be in the gun. No need to flip them over before stuffing them in the mag well.

     Whether these actually provide enough or any practical improvement is a question for someone willing to test it.
