I myself avidly use real steel; not just for build quality, but for tolerances, and effectiveness. There are some solid replica/airsoft companies out there, but only standard styles of gear are worth buying. Anything more complex, or items that contain a higher grade of engineering, you don't want to have a cheaper version of. Today, many real steel companies sell for less than some of the Chinese clones, or for not a lot more; making it worth it to spend the extra cash on the real steel items. Realistically if your on a tight budget, taco mag pouches probably are not the way to go. The real taco pouches are excellent, and well worth the money if you have it.
