I just picked this up a gunshow on a lark. It's easy to get on, but once it was there, I could get the mag in, but I could not get the magazine to drop out. In fact, I couldn't even pull it out. So I had to take it off. I held one side up on the mag well, and figured out that there a lip at the back of the Arredondon that was putting pressure on the magazine holding it in. I could pull a GI milsurp mag, but the P-Mags would not come out at all. A little careful filing later, and the mags go in and out like they're supposed to.

All that being said, I love this thing. I haven't had a chance to use it while shooting, but just practicing with it makes mag changes easier. There's no snag funneling a mag in, and it doesn't interfere with those who grip the mag well while shooting. The mags that drop free, drop free. I think it looks a little funky, but as I said, if beauty is in function, this thing is gorgeous.

For about $35 bucks, I think it's worth a try. For what it's worth.
