I have several methods of mag carry. Sometimes I use a single OWB leather mag pouch, sometimes I use a double OWB leather mag pouch, sometimes I use a single OWB plastic mag pouch, but most of the time I just use a single OWB cordura mag pouch (for a cell phone).

Cool Gueantes, if you tested it out and it works for you, carry on. It definately looks like it conceals well. To the OP, I currently use a DeSantis single mag pouch on my support side behind the hip or a double mag pouch from Pure Kustom. The double mag pouch actually conceals better because of how Rocky makes it hug the body. I actually should be receiving a single mag pouch very soon from him as well. I'll be checking the PO tomorrow

It is better to have your gun and not need it, than to need it and not have it!

I prefer to make single mag pouches,that way you can locate them where you need them

This. Doubles won't contour to your body the way a single will. Some people really seem to like the Maxpedition single sheaths because they'll hold a mag horizontally. I use a Gould & Goodrich single leather pouch.

I've tryed Nylon with velcro pouches, they sag, leather, the snaps wore out, and I finally came up with this by iTAC

Spare magazine carry - the work of the devil. I have no "favorite" way to carry them.
I keep looking at mag holster options but have not ordered anything perfect yet. Right now I just carry clipon leather ones that I wear iwb with a cant. I might end up having a local leathersmith do a custom canted light/mag carrier, or maybe the troika: Light, Magazine, Phone.

I usually go for a leather belt loop dual mag pouch. I've found that, like others have complained about, the snap-on types just don't conform very well and they stick out too far off my side. My favorite one is a dual mag pouch for my M&P from Des Biens Gunleather as I can wear it at 9 o'clock and it conforms to my hip very well, the front mag is also canted forward which helps as well, plus it gives you a bit more space between the basepads.

My favorite is this:blackhawk.com Double-Stack-Mag-Case-Matte-Finish
Mine are all black, they clip on easily and really hold on well. No danger of them coming off the belt when you go to pull the mag out.

I have a Gerber pouch that I use for my Glock spare...near perfect fit and almost everyone has something similar and it doesn't stand out...

I like "in my teeth," there's a prepared individual!
I've tried several ways, but unless its out in the open, its in my front pocket. The last few years I have acquired cheap Galco pocket carriers that cover every weapon I carry. It kinda helps balance the belt-load there too, when I've got a heavy gun at 4 o'clock.
