OK, so maybe I should be carrying an extra mag. Problem is, It don't feel great in my pocket. I have an IWB mag carrier from crossbreed, but added to my IWB holster my pants are too tight and don't need to look any wider.

I've always thought that having a mag carrier attached to the holster was not a good idea, because I think ideally that you'd want to be able to get to the mag with your weak hand. Anyway, now I'm considering an IWB holster with a built-in mag pouch for my XD9SC. I like my crossbreed fine, but I can't carry a mag like this, and I don't like clipping extra stuff to me anyway. Do you know of a quality IWB holster with a mag pouch? Not sure that I've even seen one IWB. Thanks.

We cannot recommend this method of mag carry. There are makers out there that offer holsters with mag pouches and secret decoder ring compartments but we feel this is a dangerous way to defend oneself.

Your spare magazine must be ready and available at all times, not just when you've run the first one dry. Malfunctions are not predictable.

A holster typically carried behind the hip on the strong side is as far as possible from your weak side reloading hand. What could be worse?

We recommend carrying your spare mags where they are most accessible to your weak side hand.

I understand what you are saying, and even agree with you.

Not carrying a spare mag at all. (which is what I do because of the hassle of another thing clipped to me and/or potentially making it even harder for me to squeeze into my pants.

I carry my spare single stack mags in an old elastic tube that I got many years ago. it slides thru the belt and then I place the magazine in it on the belt. It rides on the same plane as the belt and is un- noticeable, very quick to put into action.

You probably won't consider this a quality one, but I have one that looks like an Uncle Mike's IWB with a mag pouch on the front. I carry appendix, so it would be accessible to my weak hand if I used it to carry. But I generally use this holster for my car gun, and use a Leatherman holder, a horizontal belt pouch, and/or pocket for extra mags.

Only a suggestion...but I would keep my extra mag holster on my weak side! I prefer using my weak hand grabbing the mag from the weak side...although it can also be done taking the mag from the strong side...
I guess it's what ever you practice...OMO

...and yes, I have seen holsters w/mag space...IWB and OWB...

Comforting, not comfortable!

Honestly, I have tried to come up with a solution myself. I finally gave up and decided I'd carry a spare mag OWB in a holder that is easily removed and slipped into my briefcase if I have to tuck the holster or something.

I made a spare mag carrier for my Ruger P90 mag from an old glasses case. It's the pocket carry type of case with a kydex clip already sewn on. I just trimmed the to of the case down and used upholstery adhesive to glue the liner in real good. It keeps large mags upright in your front pocket or can be clipped inside the waist band or inside the belt so that the belt pressure holds it tight. Depending on the mag, it will hold one or two. Sorry, I don't have any pictures.

I use a homebrew mag pouch that fits in my left back pocket. The backing plate on the pouch is sized for the pocket so the mag stays vertical for easy access.
