On board mag carriers on AR's?

[Bcwitt]

Just keep the mag in the gun and the chamber empty.

Some state laws prohibit magazine in gun @ certain times (in the car, etc). This might be a solution.

I wouldn't place too much stock in what the IDF does. They have some excellent special units but in general everyone takes their turn serving and don't receive any particularly good training. Before following what an Israeli soldier does I would want to know who they were and what they actually did.

I would do the same for anyone from any military.

I first saw something like this in Nam. Infantry guys would tape 2 mags together so when the first ran out they could flip i over and keep shouting. Remember real M-16's were full auto and ammo went fast even in bursts.

Tried it and dropped it.

For a carbine that's for grabbing and fighting with what's on the gun, and only what's on the gun at super short notice, they're one of a few decent options. Mag couplers/jungle mags, redi-mags, and buttstock pouches are all decent ways to have a reload on a carbine you're going to fight with, without being able to "suit-up" with beforehand.

If you're able to, I'd prefer to keep spare mags on my body. Keep the rifle light and maintain a more streamlined profile if possible.

Agreed @gotboostvr . I have vests and mag carriers around but I doubt we, any of us, are afforded that much time to react so I got a couple 3 pks of these which seem easy to keep close and can clip on just about anywhere so long as you're wearing underwear at the very least. I've used em and I like them. Perhaps they'd be good for a match as well......

For your information the product is called "Crye Precison Magazine Clip". If you try to Google Magazine Clip you might not find this product . You might have an easier time tracking down the shoulder things that go up, but luckily for us, the Crye Mag Clips aren't nearly as heavy as some boxes that you might be carrying.
