OK, who has actually used this setup? Did you stick with it? Does it have any drawbacks? Did you get rid of it? If so, why? I see there are a couple of generations of these. Any reason to avoid one or the other? Thanks in advance for your input. |
I have a Gen1, and have taken it on and off more times than I can remember I can never decide if it feals right or is even needed.Gen2 has a button to allow faster use of the bolt release ( the part can be bought and retro-fitted to the Gen1 ) Gen3 has added the ability to eject the spare mag with out ejecting the one in the gun ( or maybe vice-versa or both, I forget ) there is also a 'quick detatch' model. before getting any, just get a simple/cheap mag connector to see if you even like the feal-balance of the gun with two mags on it. |

I've got a Gen I and a Gen II. I like them and for most of the places I have my M4, thats about all that I would probably need. (exiting patrol car while wearing non-tactical uniform). The Gen II Bolt hold open is on my RRA duty gun, the Gen I is on the home defense M4. They can be had for mid 50s in the EE, and they can be a pita to put on. The Gen I is at least six years old and with no worries or issues, other than I broke a mounting screw. The factory sent me a whole replacement hardware kit with no cost. |
