That's great for the range but not in combat (which is what we are concerned with here). Carrying loose rounds or even Springfield clips are just not practical. Carrying loose ammo today is still risky; there's noise from them rattling; the rounds can poke holes in your uni and fall out; and worse yet-- get deformed/damaged. Besides, you think you'll only top off once or twice?
