Do any of you guys have an issue with the PMAG GEN3 over insertion tabs in these pouches?

I haven’t run into an issue with the Army-issued MCT M3s I carried in Tall Esstac 5.56 Double KYWI Pouches for about a year. I didn’t swap mags in and out of them in training very often, but the dozen or so times I did, I didn’t have any problems. I switched to the Midlength Esstac 5.56 Double KYWI Pouches about a year ago and haven’t found any issues with those either, but again, I haven’t had the chance to do a ton of training with them. Are your tabs getting hung up on the pouches, or are you considering trying them?

Thank you...

Considering purchasing them. I emailed esstac and support told me they would be fine. Just wanted to check with someone that has used them.

That settles it.

I'll make my purchase.

I haven't had trouble with the Esstac pouches and Gen 3 PMAG's, although most of my shooting has been done with Gen 2 and USGI pattern mags.

That's good to know.

I'm new to the AR platform. I've purchased a lot of mags and realized my rifle likes the GEN 3. The only mag that will freely drop when released, and I don't have to jam in... I have OKAY and PMAG GEN2's that don't drop upon release.

I liked the retention of the polymer insert in the KYWI's but didn't want to waste money on something that didn't function well with my mags.

Thanks for your input.

Late to the game but the 3's are all I run and they've done well with Esstac. You're good, order with confidence and be sure to make a snarky comment in the order comments. Like chili has no beans or 45 over 9, maybe even 1911 over glock, and wait for a few surprises in with your order


<-- has previously done that and found out
