Gear Review: Maklarbak Time-to-Change T-Mags (VIDEO)

Maklarbak. Strange name, but an interesting concept. The Time-to-Change magazine lets you know when you are about to run dry. The bolt will lock back when there's one round left in the mag. Drop the bolt, rock out the mag, and you still have one in the pipe for your magazine change. Does it work?

The FNX-45 is an ambitious pistol. The stock design of the Tactical model incorporates all of the extras. With its threaded barrel and pre-milled slide, the pistol is ready for micro red dots and silencers, but it works fine without them.
