We start with the AG mag pouch and I immediately love what I see with the additional structure to the actual mag retention itself. With other mag retention, you often have issues where you have multiple other steps when reindexing due to the mag retention lanyards getting in the way.
The AG mag pouch by Agilite solves this wonderfully and the mag itself can be used to easily kick over the mag retention out of the way and then easily pop it all back up with one and to easily secure the mag. And the best part is that all of this can be done quickly and easily with just one hand.
Looking at the front of the AG mag pouch, we see it also includes three molle sections to fit pouches as large as five molle rows tall. Also on the front of the mag pouch is loop backed portion that you can connect in patches or markers. I also believe Agilite is working on some cool attachments that will use this area in the future!
Finally, the rear of the AG mag pouch also includes four reinforced tabs that are weaved into the molle to secure the AG pouch to your gear. It’s great to see a product that includes all of the required items you need to connect it all up.
Looking at the pincer placard, we see three elastic mag pouches that have a large reinforced mag opening near the top. This is Agilite’s fantastic solution to the elastic mag pouches that work so horribly.
I found I could get a great purchase on each of the mags and easily reindex magazines. The large mouth of the Pincer Placard makes mag retrieval and reindexing fast and effortless.
The front of the Pincer Placard also has two slits between the mags and they actually teased some prototype pouches that will connect into this in the future. I’m excited to see how the entire Pincer placard turns into an entire Agilite placard system.
Flipping the placard over, we see the attachment method used to connect the placard onto to the carrier. You can lift up and remove the adjustment straps to change out the connecting hardware or adjust the actual ride height of the placard itself on the carrier.
This is a welcome improvement as so many different carriers have wildly different ride heights of so many of the placard attachments.
Also included with the pincer placard is an entire set of ITW QASM buckles. These allow you to interface with a normal placard connection system if you prefer that style of placard connection. Overall, its great to see Agilite included both sets of hardware when we see so many companies not including any hardware at all.
The AG mag pouches and Pincer Placard make for an insane upgrade for anyone looking to take their K19…or any other plate carrier….away from that elastic mag pouch and bungee mess. Both of these products have an immediate impact on the speed and function of the user.
