ITW FastMag
by Sean
ITW Fastmags - I carry two of these on my Weak side as my Primary reload pouches. I love them. My reload times have been cut in half. They are very sturdy and even with my knack for breaking things they hold up. I have worn out the rubber band on the outside from rough use and they still retain my mags with no problems. The only issue I have had is that they make noise when my rifle slaps against them. View More SKD Staff Picks

Great Product
Mag retention is as great. It can even be mounted up side down and still retain the mag if you wanted. I run two of these on my belt as my primary source for reloading. And reloads from these are as fast as you make them.

Nice mag carrier
Great mag retention, with easy access. Works with PMAGs, USGI mags, ARC mags, and Lancer mags.

Great piece of kit!
Just purchased two of these for my belt when I don't feel like wearing my PC for shooting classes. Reloads stay secure no matter what position and are easily removed when needed. I've gone through countless mag pouches before I found this product. I am more that satisfied. I will be ordering several more with the MOLLE option for my PC before my next deployment.

Nifty!
At first I didn't want to purchase these Fast Mags because they seemed kind of gimmicky, and I didn't think they would hold up under constant use. I am happy to report that I wear 4 of these on my chest rig, and they are holding up really well. They are very secure, yet release the magazine very fast when you need it to. My only complaint is that I can't put them right next to each other because of MOLLE spacing. Otherwise, this is a great product.

Awesome product
I purchased two of these to use in 3 Gun competition. They are lightweight, well made and securely hold your mags without any straps or bungees. Mags are easy to remove with a little tug. I would definately buy these again.

Good to Go!
I have 2 of the ITW Fast Mag Gen 3 on a ATS warbelt and they work great. The elastic band can be moved up or down to change the tension on the mag. Works with P-mags and regular mags. Very secure. Haven't had them very long but they appear very durable.

Frightening Speed
These simple but effective devices hold the mags secure in any orientation and release them with a slight twist and tug. Come with attached clips to integrate them with any type of attachment system.

ITW Nexus Fast Mag, Gen3
I purchased 2 foliage ITW Nexus Fast Mags, Gen3 for law enforcement duty use. The fastmags are great for quick access due to the open top and due to the retention system being built into the outer shell of the item. I did find that the fastmags won't completely close on a mag if two fastmags are situated immediately next to each other on a molle vest/panel. I used them for several months and never lost a mag during running or other activities, but it a potential concern. I also mounted pistol mag pouches on top of the fastmags via alice clips and they worked okay. I had to use zip ties to keep the pistol mag pouch from sliding up or down on the fastmag body as the molle system and the fast mag didn't line up properly with my ATS mag pouches. I also had to cut the molle/snaps of the back of the ATS pouches to use the alice clips.

They're from the future
At first I was skeptical. I highly recommend these if, like me, you want superfast reload times. I'm sick of velcro or fumbling with bungee cord. I've tried almost every kind of mag pouch and this is by far the best I've encountered. The fact that these are rigid allows you to jam your mag in blindly and not crumple the walls like on cloth pouches. Inside, the rubberized inner wall firmly grips the mag and helps keep it from sliding out. The first time I fielded these I had grease and water get on a few of my mags. I was just waiting for the moment when they came flying out. Never happened. And guess what...I had them mounted upside down too. (Although not recommend for Gen3). I tried doing jumpingjacks and counting until the mags fell out. Never happened, but I did give up after 100. I was so impressed I ordered more. They do take up slightly more space than regular pouches, but well worth it for me. I have 4 rows of the belt version stacked on top of the molle type.
