magnetic mag holder!

[shred]

Better yet. Just buy a 1" rare earth magnet and use silicone sealant to glue it to the exposed side of one of your existing mag pouches. Then it's available any time you need it. Should cost all of $1.89.

Rare Earth Magnet. Then enter "magnet" in the search cell.

Heck, just rip apart an old computer hard-drive. Two mega-strong magnets in there.

Of course I don't really want my belt to be sticking to all sorts of things on and off the range, so think I'll pass

Ironically Glock mags DO work with this type of thing. At least the FML ones do.

[joecichlid]

Just don't put your gun on it *coughChriscough* as it will remove a fair amount of the finish on most guns. LOL A way around it is to use some felt on the thing with some contact cement to hold the felt in place.

I have one ofthe Ghost products magnet pouches. It goes off and on the belt easily. Just push in the retainers clips and off it goes,...

I have not used them in competition,..although it should be practiced. I saw a few shooters fumble with them,..and then shoot a stage and not even touch the mag they put on the magnet. Wasted a small amount of time.

THe best set up would be magnets on the outside of mag pouches,..to the side,..not the front.

mine stays on my back,.and I put my LAMR mag or my stripper mag on it.

But you're likely to break the 50mm max distance from the body rule here, aren' t you?

Doesnt help nary a Glock shooter!

Actually it does --- I saw one on a friend's belt at the Summer Blast and slapped one of my Glock Limited mags to it --- it held.....

[jmorris]

Yep it works and on all of the stainless magazines I’ve tried too. Although I just placed a magnet in my pocket and “stowed” my TAC load on the outside of my shorts as a joke.

Saul Kirsch has just introduced this combo magpouch, looks like the way to go:

it would if you started the stage with the mags on the outside of the mag body on the magnet,..but if you started with the mags say on a table,..after the audible, you can show the mags anywhere you want,..put them in your mouth,...your front pocket....etc..or on the magnet.

I'm still waiting to see somebody with a belt full of these go prone on a range with a bunch of old steel-case brass lying around...

I'm going to make one to play with, but I don't yet see a big advantage (especially in Open where you only need one) as yet-- you'd save half a second over seating the mag in a pouch? Then you have to worry about it falling off or what angle it's at later? Then you have to spend the entire match walking around with a big horking magnet strapped to your waist (no changing your belt accouterments during the match, remember rule 5.2.5.3). No doubt that will provide hours of entertainment for squad-mates with loose staples, tables, chairs and assorted magnetic detritus.

Here is a great source for rare earth magnets and you can get 10 one inch discs for $9.00 at http://www.rare-earth-magnets.com/

These are actually ideal for 3 gun in that you put the ar pouches on the left side of the body, the holster and shotshell carriers (for strong hand reload) on the right side of the body and then attach the magnets to the exterior of the ar pouches to hold extra pistol mags. Of course if left handed, reverse these instructions

Here under the IPSC rules....pretty much everybody has one or more, in form or another on their belt....and they work well nobody screw around there is a rules for that

[shooterbenedetto]

It doesn't work...I have dropped all the mags everytime I ran a stage. It will only work if a stage

is static and no movement. Once you start moving, the mags drops!

[ExtremeShot]

I bought one of the Double Alpha magnetic holders to use when you have table starts will ALL mags on the table. ...I got tired of wasting time trying to put my mags into the pouch.

One thing though....don't get your IPOD anywhere near it. In a brain fart moment, I clipped my IPOD to my belt next to it and that was all she wrote. ...Luckily I had about a week left on my warranty and got a new one. I told the Apple guy that lightening must have hit the house when it was charging.

[joecichlid]

Heck you don't even need to go prone near a pile of Wolf cases, just find go prone in sand. You might be shocked at how much iron you will find in common sand.

I am looking at getting a few of the DAA magnetic mag holders but was wondering if they work with Glock mags? I know the newer mags are metal lined, however will the magnet still working through the plastic shell / body?

Thanks,

I tried it with a friend's (not sure is was a DAA) and it worked. It held strong too.

Yes it will work great!

[Jan R.]

That magnet is CRAZY strong! Not only will it hold your glock mag it will render all of your credit cards usless...ask me how I know!!!

You haven't seen funny until you've seen a lightly built lady shooter stuck to her car with her new magnetic mag holder.

[hankfan79]

I have one. Want to buy it? I never use the dang thing.

I might have to take you up one that... I'll get back to you by the end of the week.

[soundwave]

Wondering if these would be Production Division legal for a starter mag carried in front of the hip. The mag would be loaded into the gun before stage start so the carrier would be empty. Would be nice to not have to dig around in my pocket for a starter mag. Thoughts? Thanks.
