I've done a few stop-drop-'n-rolls with it and no mags ran away from home. Range gravel will test it more thoroughly.
Open tops increase reload time at the cost of retention, but the individual one-pocket-one-mag setup with grippy innards is pretty "grood" so far. It's easy; nothing to manipulate... grab, pull, load, tug. Obvious that the rig isn't perfect for airborne ops or something I'd choose for patrolling, although I could rig up straps, 550 cord, or breakaway bands like some kind of ghetto Rambo.
I think the big issue with any minimalist panel-style chest rig is that it only stays put if its tight... otherwise it flops around like a fat girl doing the 100 yard dash without a sports bra. Annoying. As long as I keep my elbows tight and jerk-draw for my next mag, the carrier doesn't pull up. The PMag loops really help out for this. I know they're total GeerQeer but that's okay with me... I'm just some douche stain that doesn't wanna get into golf.

PM me your schedule 'til December, law school flunky. We need to go shoot - ASAP.
I have no friends.
