ima45dv8 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 A word of caution: Do not travel to a match planning to shoot L10 with those skinny little 1911 mags unless you bring the proper inserts with you. If however you do, cut some cardboard (or targets) into strips about 2" wide and 5" long. Fold/roll on one end, flatten, cuss yourself for being such a forgetful pig, fold some more, flatten again and finishing cussing. "Drill" a hole through the ensuing mess with the tip of a knife and run the screw which should have held the intended insert through the hole. Install and tighten. Cuss some more as your friends make snappy comments about your Custom Mag Pouches. Maybe I should have posted this under Match Screwups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ima45dv8 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 can you explain I have no idea what this means These ingenious little mag pouches can be configured to accept a variety of magazines - SingleStack, Para wide, SVI/STI wide, Glock, etc. That little black insert in the picture holds those skinny SS mags against the front wall of the pouch and are sort of critical if you plan on moving around, or even breathing deeply. They provide the friction that holds the magazine in the pouch. Without the inserts you can still run around a course of fire but will almost certainly arrive at next reload point only to discover you have no mags (trust me on this point). If you plan on converting them when you get to a match and then find you've left the inserts at home, (insert forehead-slapping emoticon here), cardboard, humility and a fair amount of cussing will get you through the match.

Loves2Shoot Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I just use the regular inserts and some big washers I wasn't smart enough to figure the other way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B12 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 WOW!!!!!!!!!!! I posted the same question in a differnt forum. I too ddint think to use the insert like that. Also didnt think to look in the biggers forum for the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galt11 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I bought some of the CR pouches for the same reason and found the only "complaint" I had was you really had to tighten the pouch a lot to be sure the mag wouldn't fall out. My old Safarilands didn't need to be tightened so much. Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
