ClackClackBAM Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I like the idea but I don't want to be a gear queer. Tbh I don't think it looks bad, plus it's functional. Just don't think it's necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraBG Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 It would be a handy feature if the single extra shell was essential. I understand that sometimes it can be. It's not for me though. I like the KISS keep it simple stupid style. I already have a light on my M4 handguard and don't want extra hardware or snag points. A Velcro side saddle on the receiver would make more sense to me if you want to carry extra rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not in a hurry to hang more things off of my gun. I have a spare set of handguards coming so I might just try it out on those. If it works, great. But if not, it will be an easy fix.

DFWSFO Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 FWIW I feel like MatchSaverz are a niche product. Makes a ton of sense for competition, but questionable for HD use. A side saddle is worth it if you want to be able to just grab and go and have some optionality (e.g. mix of slugs and buckshot). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) The less stuff hanging off of a weapon, the better. If I am going to add something, I have to justify it to myself. The more you hang on a weapon, the more chances it’ll hang up on your gear when slung, or catch on a door frame.

ClackClackBAM Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 I can think of at least two places it would hit on a door frame or corner. Maybe I'll just be happy with the eight rounds I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 If you’re approaching a door where there might be an armed assailant, you’ll probably scrape the skin off your support hand finger knuckles if clearing to the right.

truckcop Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I've got one on one of my competition guns. The name (MatchSaverz) is a clue. I've used it a number of times in man-on-man events to win when there's a quick reload needed upon the bolt locking back. As something useful for a defense/fighting firearm, not so much. But that's just one opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
