Didn't learn after the first time? Gee, I thought I was slow.
Kidding aside, why would you keep using mag pouches that allow your mags to fall out so easily?
Yeah, but it's such a rare event it doesn't seem worth testing. It seems to me there are tests far more relevant to the way mags are actually carried and used. Of course, they wouldn't be as dramatic as driving over a mag with a big, camo-painted truck.
The former owners of C-Products should be making new mags very soon. That'd make two manufacturers, which would help.
Memory? Was I supposed to remember something?

Actually, I do learn kind of slow, but it was two different rigs that let them go. One was a "crap, I forgot the right rig" setup, and the other was a vest that had a securing band of velcro, that evidently wasn't quite up to the task of hanging onto a full 30 round mag when the inertial forces actually kicked in.
I'll agree on the "runover" test. It was always just one of those "show it for the sales guys" kinds of tests in my mind.
Hopefully the former C-Products owners will keep a high standard of QC as the basic premise. New line setups always are an issue, especially with folded steel, and even more when you fold AND curve it!
