Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Makes changing mags much faster
Cons:	Cant fit mags in vests all the time

Ok so this isn�t the most complex product to review, so what? This is a review Database isn�t it?

When I first saw these things it took me a second to figure out exactly what they are for. But basically they are rubber handles that can be fitted to the bottom of your mag. Why would you want �em? Well if you�re like me and use a tec vest or webbing then you know how much of a pain in the arse it can be pulling mags out of your pouches by your finger tips with gloves on. Let me tell you, you will never have that problem again once you have fitted mag pulls.

They are made from rubber, you force them over the end of your mag, being rubber they cling to the mag very well, with basically no chance of it coming off. They have a large finger hole for you to pull the mag out of its pouch with, the finger tab is reinforced so it aint ganna break off. Possibly the two coolest things about this product are: 1 you can fit them to high caps and there�s enough room to still fit your thumb in to wind �em and 2 you can fit these things to real steel mags! Oh and number 3 they look ultra cool � they�re one of those products that if you have them, other players will know you�re hard core, some will even call you the magpull guy!

The only downfall is that some vests/pouches that take two mags wont fit two mags with magpuls cause of the extra thickness added by the rubber. If you have one of these vests then I suggest you use one mag with a magppul and the other without, when you play use the magpul fitted mag first which will make it dead easy to get the second out later.

There are 3 sizes available being: 5.56 � M4s and their cousins, MP5 � or similar 9mm mags, 7.62mm � G3s etc.

There are a couple of companies that make these, I think the quality is pretty much the same across the board so buy the cheapest � and if you live in China like I do, you can get �em for less than a �1 each.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):
Cons:

OK. i have around 20 of these on everything from MP5 mags to M4 mags. and they work great. but i have found one down side. On some mag pouches they may stop it from closeing. just a side note. Other than that i highly recommend them.

Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: �10.00 | Rating: 7

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Easy grip, look 'gucci'. work
Cons:	expensive,

These are great to look at and add a real tactical/special forces look to your weapon. they are also great for reaching and removing from mag pouches. however, for the price you pay, im starting to think are they worth it. needless to say, i picked 3 up for �10 at airsoftsupplier.co.uk (which by the way, is cheaper and is a great shop). up to a matter of opinion and bank balance really.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Very easy to install, easy to use, makes
Cons:	Might be a bit uneccesary for beginners

Using these can give your magazine a new look, no matter what colour it's in.

The only downside of the Magpul: it might be unneccesary because buying these is mostly just for aesthetic looks instead of really being helpful in airsoft skirmishing.

However, I do recommend these to airsofters as they are cheap, but after installing them to your gun it lends a different character for your gun.

Installing them on hi-cap magazines doesn't effect much, as there's still enough space for winding your magazine.

As an airsoft fan, I would recommend this to everyone for decorating their gun.
