My wife came up with the name and I liked it so that's what I'm calling this new magazine carrier. This is a quick post about my latest updates to the design which I originally introduced in this previous post.


As you can see I shortened the "T". After wearing the original style for a day and a half it became uncomfortable because the extra extension would poke me when I sat. I realized that it didn't need to be so long to accommodate the amount of shirt that needed to be tucked in so I went about trimming it and reforming the kydex. You can also see that I improved the retention by dimpling the kydex where the mag catch is. This allows the magazine to click in and out so you know it won't start sliding out on it's own. Another feature that I made to enhance concealment is a slight tilt of the mag towards the body. I found that when the mag was straight up and down in line with the bottom T that it would lean out away from your body when attached to the belt. The slight tilt counteracts that and helps keep the mag close in.

With the refinements it's become an incredibly comfortable way to carry an easily accessible concealed spare magazine without taking up valuable pocket space.

I call this idea a solid success!

It's an interesting design. I'd like to see a vid demonstrate how quick a reload would be. It seems to me I'd want the base of the mag facing my weak hand.

I have a video located on my blog (link in my sig). There are also more pictures and a more detailed writeup of it.

Ok, I was asked if this would work for a double stack and then also asked if it could be made with a J-clip attachment instead of velcro so last night I decided to give it a go for one of my double stack S&W mags. Here it is:


And some pics of it being worn. Now you see it...

...now you don't.

In my blog I have a video showing how well it conceals and how easy it is to access.

Interesting design. For those of us with a little more around the middle it looks like it might be awkward.

weak side pocket still works great for me...

nice.

have you tried it on the back at about 7-8 o clock?

I have tried it at the 7-8 o'clock position and it works there. The single stack PM9 mag's a lot more comfortable (no surprise), but a double stack isn't a problem. I carry it upfront with my PM9 so I can untuck both my spare mag and gun with one swift pull. Another option would be to wear it at the 12:30-1 o'clock position with the mag pointed left towards the weak hand. If you wear a button down shirt you can then unbutton the bottom most button so that all you have to do is shoot your hand in and grab it no untucking necessary.
