Favorite concealed carry mag holster?

ArtificialGrape · June 29th, 2007, 03:50 PM

So what is your favorite magazine holster for concealed (not competition only) carry?

Manufacturer? IWB? OWB? Paddle? Snaps? Leather? Kydex?

and why?

I'm looking to get a double mag holster for my PM9, and a single for my P99 (perhaps combo with a light). I'm generally a fan of leather, but thinking that mag holsters may be quite well suited to Kydex.

Thanks.

I prefer: Leather, double mag carrier, OWB, belt mounted.

Leather won't break, 2 is better than 1, IWB mag pouches are 50/50 on the comfort level, belt mounting is the most secure IMO.

I have two mag carriers that I am fond of, both for single stack .45s
1 was made by Rhome: Desibens Custom Leather (currently not making holsters

)

The other is made by 5 shot leather.

I also have a single mag carrier made by Rhome, and a single mag pouch from Desantis, which has a snap, which I'm really not fond of.

I like leather IWB tuckable (you don't have to tuck if you don't want too).

I most often use Smartcarry

Edited to add Why

How I dress for work requires deep concealment, so mag in Smartcarry pocket or IWB with my ID badge in front of it.

Blade-Tech combo mag/light holder for SF E2D.

with Tech-Lok

Why-b'cause I needed a light and carrying one in my pocket wasn't making it. "Someone" (Chris Bird?, Ayoob?, Am Handgunner?) said you'd probably need a lite more than a 2nd mag. This thing doesn't get into my pants like a paddle holder, stays put and the Tech-Lok works well with all my belts 'cept the Rafter S (too thick).

I use a Mitch Rosen dual mag carrier.

Why? Because I like this model.

I love the Rosen design, but purchase mine from Rafter S

Gary's OWB leather. I like the angle of it. Superb workmanship as are all of Gary's products.

I had a nice Del Fatti leather carrier but I sold it...now I only carry a spare mag when I have a jacket...I find a gun and mag pouch just too much for daily civilain life...

I prefer the Don Hume single mag leather clip on. It is well made, easy on and off, and reasonably priced.
