So after 4.5 months... $400 worth of Milt Sparks sharkskin trimmed leather showed up. Belt, Criterion holster, and D4C double mag pouch...
everything is awesome as you'd expect, but the mag carrier just sits on the belt like a brick printing like crazy (not that anyone would know exactly what it is, but it's 110% obvious something is there). I just don't know if it will work and I think it's important to carry an extra mag, but I've yet to figure out how to do it comfortably. How are the rest of you doing it? |

Well I use a wheelchair and my cushion has a nice pouch on it that works great. My problem is finding a comfortable place to CC my pistol. I have been thinking about designing a holster that straps under the webbing. Could probably make some money on it.

I think rolling around in a wheel chair to solve my mag problem would be even more suspicious than carrying them on my belt.

I use a Bladetech kydex single mag pouch with non quick attach belt loops for my Glocks (maybe the Eclipse?) on my weak side (about 8 o'clock) and it is fine, much easer to conceal then the pistol. If I'm carrying a pocket pistol like the P290RS or P380 I'll use an Uncle Mike's pocket holster as a mag pouch in my weak side front pocket. That works with the Glock as well but I usually use the belt pouch. If I'm carrying a J frame the speed loader (a Safariland Comp I) goes in the same pocket as the pocket holster.
I hurt my weak hand earlier this month and actually moved the mag pouch, worn reversed, to about 3:30 until my hand healed, I would have had to put the pistol back in the holster to reload but had no problem concealing the mag. I carry the pistol between 4 and 5 o'clock depending on the pair of slacks or jeans I have on at the time. |

After using one for so long it really wouldn't be hard to make one. Thus why I am thinking about doing it. Got to be a market out there for it granted a smaller market. Although I have been trying to figure out the rifle sling to use with a wheelchair just haven't figured that one out yet. |

What gun are you carrying?
I have a D4C for 1911 magazines and while it sticks out a bit I have no issues concealing it, especially when I move it around on the belt. I could see it being an issue with something double stack. |

Comp-Tac leather pouch IWB for me. Bend at the knees, save your back. I dont carry that much up there though I had essentially given up on appendix due to these complaints above. Seriously. Wasted hundreds of dollars on holsters Id use for an hour trying out the idea. Could never get it to work with full size 1911s or even shorter 4" barrel and officer framed guns. Was too uncomfortable and would never conceal well enough. The gun would bang into things all the time. I just never could get it to work. Im taking a break from the 1911 this year for serious shooting. Got into the BHP. Its rougly the size of a Glock 19 or a commander 1911. I needed a holster and once again I thought how appendix carry would be nice. When I ordered this holster, I seriously figured I had wasted my money again like the other appendix rigs I have tried. Im not sure if its due to the different size of the BHP vs the 1911, or the holster itself, but this thing is working for me rather well in the comfort and also concealed. The shape and overall design helps conceal everything and also not create pressure points on your pelvis. On the bending over thing, I honestly havent changed anything on the way I bend down or move around. Granted, I bend at the knees more than I do at the back to begin with, as I lift heavy things at work day in and day out. Im only a week into this holster, so well see how it works out long term. After a few small adjustments it just rides right. ETA. The only thing I have changed is my carry belt. I had always used a very stiff belt when carrying a 1911 at 3 oclock. I gave a old whimpy leather belt a whirl. It works a whole lot better with that belt for some reason. Not sure if I can tighten it down a little harder and get the grip to tuck into my side or what. I also think the belt has more "give" for when you are sitting down or bending over etc leading to better comfort. |

I just drop one in the painters pocket on my carhertt pants,..or the in back pocket, nothing fancy

I just put 2 spare mags in my back left pocket... I only do it if I'm going to be out all day and carrying my Glock 30S, but it's not a problem. *shrug*

I use two single belt mounted mag carriers unless it's winter and I know I won't be removing my jacket. I've never found a double mag carrier I could conceal without a jacket.
|
|
Finally got my Magholder carrier from here. I really like it as the mag sits sideways on your belt and is completely unobtrusive. I got one for the Shield and one for the G23.

Blackhawk quick release pouch:
on amazon I like that the belt clip can stay on the belt and I can pull the pouch off for when I'm inside the house, but toss it back on quickly when I head out. Also, I have a single stack and a double stack and both fit either belt clip jack |

I carry a Ruger LC9 IWB, and keep a spare 9-round mag in one of my front pockets. Works for me.

Neo Mag Been carrying one of these for the last two months and really like it. The magnet holds the magazine securely but allows a smooth draw. Reholstering a magazine is also smooth and positive. Pocket clip is crazy strong and required a slight adjustment to allow clipping and unclipping single handed. |

If my schedule doesn't interfere I plan on shooting an IDPA match this weekend to test it further. So far it has become part of my daily carry and has not revealed any unwanted issues. I used to run these but during IDPA stages the entire unit would come out of the pocket more often than not. So now my snagmags live in the cardboard box of former must have gear. Or what I call the "some day I will post this stuff in the EE" box |

Fury concealment single mag holder. When shooting IDPA I use that and a dual kydex holder who's name escapes me. When shooting USPSA whatever I can find in my range bag to hold magazines as I generally need a lot of them.

Almost entirely too lazy to carry one, sometimes I'll toss an extra G43 mag in a pocket if I remember.

I carry my G19 in a MTAC at 5:00, and have a spare mag and a Fenix PD32 in a small Blackhawk pouch in my pocket
Not the most "tactical" but it's very comfortable and does not print |

In the neon green bag that has the Kel-Tec SUB 2000 & the 1st aid pouch.

I found some knife sheathes that Bass Pro sells from Redhead. 3 sizes for 6.95 each. Each size perfectly fits my G42, my G19 and G17 mags. Only downside is that they don't clip to your belt...you have to thread your belt through the slide. Cheap and effective until I find something better.

I have one of these and I like it. Easy to put on and remove.

HSP Incog with mag caddy for me. I separated them though and carry the gun at about 1:00 and the mag at about 11:00. The mag caddy would work just fine anywhere IWB (same with the holster). I would just pick one of them up separately or any similar IWB single mag carrier from a reputable manufacturer. I say single mag carrier because it's easier to conceal and less brick like. Get two of them if you want to carry two spares.
There are plenty of options from many great holster companies i.e. Raven, bravo, Gcode, etc. |

I carry a Glock 19 in a Contact Concealment AP holster and a Wilderness double stack mag pouch horizontal option A at 9:30-10 o'clock. Makes a lot easier to get the mag out if I happen to be seated whether in my truck or at a restaurant, etc...
Also conceals a little better, IMHO, because it lays in the "crease" created by the belt on most of us thicker folks. http://www.thewilderness.com/magazine-speedloader-and-ammo-carriers/pistol-mag-pouch-double-stack/ |

I wear a StealthGear Onyx IWB holster for my weapon and a double and a single Eclipse magazine carriers from Blade Tech on my belt (Eclipse carriers are streamlined and pull the magazines in toward your body to reduce their silhouette). I carry a 1911 pistol, so the magazines are single stack and conceal quite nicely. I usually wear 5.11 or Hawaiian shirts, which will cover and conceal regular double stack magazines as well.
