Other guys, who almost definitely know more about this than me, have already posted, but I'll throw in my $0.02, just because I was messing with my gear last night and it's fresh in mind.
In the Pantac (aka Phantom) double M4 pouches that I have, and with the TM/CA M4 magazines and magpuls (the rubber slip over design), here's what I find.
Having both mags with magpuls in a double pouch is too tight, width-wise (from your body to away from your body). The extra width that the slip ons take up kind of jams them in the pouch. If the one you grab is the one stuck "under" the other mag, I tend to find that the insert of the metal mag get's pulled out (don't know why...but it sucks). Maybe other types of pouches don't have this problem...don't know.
If I put one mag with a magpul and one that just has a paracord loop (I took off the floor plate of the mag, put a loop with a knot in either end and trapped it under the floor plate), things work just fine. And the rubber loop has saved more than one of my mags from some pretty nasty drops onto the concrete floor.
Anyways...do they work for me? Yes. Do the work in Phantom double pouches? Yes, but with reservations.
Hope that helps....
