While the jaws band are stronger, it doesn't retain my glock double stack mag, when fully loaded, and shaken upside down. Not a huge issue because it does retain it better while upright. The bigger issue I have is that it's scraping the coating off of my double stack magazines. It's not a deal breaker and can be expected with more pressure from the new band, but perhaps some sort of material (felt maybe) could make seating the magazine a little smoother and less abrasive. Overall, the band does what it's intended to do, which is add additional pressure/retention.
This replacement band for the Pitbull Universal Carrier is a lot thicker and have resistance that will keep your magazine a lot more secure. Very happy I made this purchase.
The JAWS are great! They will keep your mags where they are supposed to stay.
My EDC is a 1911 EMP 9 mm and as my PitBull mag holders were losing some retention. With the new Jaws Bands that are 2 times heavier retention is very positive and don’t foresee any future problems.
Fits my mags great very much more secure.
