Well, just opened the box of my three new babies. Needless to say, I'm extremely impressed. The size of the mag handles is perfect. I always thought the sjtac was a bit thin and the handles never fit my hand that well, but these are just sweet in the hand.
Some interesting specs on weight. I don't have a mic to check thickness, but I do have scales. and here is the breakdown of my three.
green/black G10 mag > 18.4 oz
black paper mags > 17.4 oz, a little lighter in the hand, i could tell without scales
black canvas mags with no swedge was 17.7 oz
I can't wait to take one to the field to use. It is a great size and feels great. It will also fit a spec ops 6" sheath "a bit snug, and the no swedge won't fit"
although I intend on doing the oven thing like I did to make the ASH1 fit. not too much change needed on this one.
anyway, here they are: Yes, I'm going to order one more maybe two. I thought about an OD handle on Sage and a Black/orange on Satin
