Eric2340 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) I need to find a better way to carry a spare G19 mag on a daily basis that is both durable and comfortable (meaning it does not dig in to my side rolls when I sit ). The old nylon knife sheath I've been using ain't cutting it anymore and looks cheap anyway. Biggest issues again though, is I need something that carries a little lower so it does not dig into me (read: fat LOL). I'm hoping for a solution vs having one custom made to fit "me". Any suggestions that WORK? (PS - "pocket carry" doesn't work either, I've tried it!! ) - Thanks!!! Eric Edited August 28, 2018 by Eric2340 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmcbeat Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I usually wear 511 cargo pants or shorts. They have a mag pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaDub Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I'm a fan of the OEM carrier. Very light weight and adds almost no bulk. Inexpensive too. I don't know if it will "fit" you or not. You may try moving whatever carrier you have to a different location on your waist. Try moving it a little further back. Maybe 7-8 O'clock to get behind the "problem" areas?

B0308 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Well, you can go old school and not cheap, Milt Sparks leather, or try JM Kydex, who has both traditional OWB mag pouches or AIWB. Based on body type and how long you carry, one or the other should work. You may find a magazine in the phone pocket of pants/shorts a little slow to work when you really need it. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the holster too. It works surprisingly well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgg9 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Some are modular, and you could set it to lay horizontally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collim1 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I also use the Glock brand mag carrier, and have for many years. Don’t let its price fool you, it’s works surprisingly well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Papa Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Safariland 123 Horizontal Magazine Pouch. I thought it looked cheap, but I wanted to try the horizontal carry. One of the best investments I’ve ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't change my system at this point, but I could see that being very effective for someone with some girth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric2340 Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 This is what I am using now (again, cheap nylon knife sheath). It works "ok" but looks like hell, and is slow to get open. About the only good thing it does is it FULLY covers the mag so it does not "look" like a spare mag hanging off my belt. I pocket carry my G26 (So. Fla) so literally NO one can tell I am carrying a gun or much less even a mag. I've thought about reaching out to come custom leather holster makers, as the big thing for me is it sits LOWER on a belt than a traditional mag carrier does, which I prefer for comfort reasons (does NOT dig into my side rolls LOL).
