I wonder if anyone has any experience good or bad with the product or the manufacturer in terms of quality, etc. </div></div>
I have a good amount of experience with it. It currently holds eight Springfield 20rd mags for my M1A. The fit is snug and there is an elastic band at the mag entry point for additional security in addition to the velcro flap that goes over top of the mag. No chance a mag falls out, even if being jostled.
However, I didn't like it for my 308 20rd Pmags. The fit is far tighter and even though I was able to get 8 of them in (after substantial effort), the carrier will no longer lay flat. In other words the extra width of the pmags causes each pouch to touch the other so that the carrier bows slightly. Even if I could live with that, pmags are difficult to pop out.
If not for this pmag issue, I would have bought 2-3 more emdom carriers as the product is excellent. If you look closely at the pics, they show 3 metal mags on the left and only the pmags on the right. Had they put pmags next to each other, it would be evident that it wasn't designed for them. I even thought about buying them to carry 1 Pmag in each pouch. The elastic band prevents them from falling out, but now the Pmag looks like a thin guy in a baggy pair of jeans.
I'm still looking for a solution to carry 8 308 Pmags. If I buy another M1A, I wouldn't hesitate to get another Emdom carrier. I'm only a weekend warrior so I don't need a chest rig and I don't want to use individual double pouches on rig or belt. I just want a single 8 Pmag carrier. Still looking. Hope that helps.
