I bought a single used shingle. (Try saying that 10 times fast!) It was in excellent condition for a steal of a price!

Came really fast and the use was in great condition. No complaints and customer service was awesome. They reach back out to me within 24 hours and I placed an order for five more. For the same price you can get the ACU option on eBay but ACU doesn’t fit with anything and I think after taxes and whatnot it actually cost more. This is a win-win for sure

Order shipped and arrived within days of placing the order, so top notch service.
I ordered a used, and a defective item. The used pouch *may* have been used by someone at HQ, not a single sign of wear that I could see. The defective, that would have passed as new Gucci gear to most non-combat units.
Excellent company, quality products.

Bought in used condition but it looks brand new. Great fit for both PMAGS and USGI style SS/aluminum mags. Excellent price, matches the rest of my gear, and is front and center on my plate carrier. Don’t think twice!

I embarked on this purchase with a clear mission: to expand the capacity of my chest rig, to transform it into a tool of greater utility and adaptability. A three-magazine shingle, I believed, would allow my remaining pouches to serve other roles. Perhaps the day would come when I needed more ammunition—when firepower would be the difference between readiness and regret. I placed my order, unaware of the odyssey that lay ahead.
The package arrived swiftly, a harbinger of what I thought would be a simple, straightforward upgrade. But simplicity was a luxury I would not be afforded. With meticulous care, I assembled my rig, each attachment a deliberate decision, each adjustment made with the expectation that I was building something optimal. Yet, as I took a step back to admire my work, a creeping doubt settled in. Something was wrong. A mistake had been made.
Frustration took root as I deconstructed my carefully placed setup. Hours of labor undone in mere moments. Undeterred, I approached it again, believing that this time—this time—I had it right. And yet, as fate would have it, I was mistaken once more. The shingle—this deceptive, insidious piece of kit—was at the heart of my suffering. Was it poorly designed, or had my own incompetence led me astray? I wrestled with the thought as my fingers, raw and numb from repeated toil, traced the fabric of my tormentor.
I would not be defeated.
Once more, I rebuilt. I corrected each past error, carried with me the lessons of every failure. And finally, after what felt like a battle of will against inanimate fabric, it was functional. But even then, as I loaded my magazines to test its readiness, a new horror emerged—the front bulked outward unnaturally, distorting the balance of my rig. The shingle had betrayed me yet again.
Desperation drove me to examine it closer, to unravel its treachery. And then, the revelation. The product description had spoken of three metal magazines. But reality had a different tale to tell. Not three. Six.
Six magazines could be housed within this devious construction, its compartments far deeper than I had been led to believe. My struggles had not been in vain, but they had been misguided. The looseness, the instability—it was all because I had been working under a lie. A cruel misdirection. Yet, in that moment of realization, my frustration gave way to awe.
Though the flap could not close as intended, I saw the potential. With a different retention method—bungee, shock cord—this shingle could hold six magazines securely, doubling its stated capacity. What I had once viewed as a flaw became an unexpected strength.
I will not let others suffer as I did. Heed my words—this is not a mere three-magazine shingle. It is more. It can be more. Let that knowledge save you the hours of struggle I endured.
And despite everything, I recommend it wholeheartedly. The craftsmanship is solid, the utility undeniable. It is not the product I expected, but it is one I have come to respect. Five stars, not for its honesty, but for its potential. It arrived swiftly, tested my patience, and in the end, exceeded all expectations.

Despite being for 3 magazines, it could fit 5 though was pretty tight, best for 3 as stated. Works well with both polymer magazines and metal magazines, though only the metal ones could fit more than the stated amount. Good quality for the price, very good condition, and fast shipping. Would recommend.
