Spare PISTOL magazines should sit in their carrier with the bullets facing FORWARDS (i.e. towards your belt buckle).
With RIFLE magazines I prefer the bullets face BACKWARDS (i.e. towards my butt). |

Most people, myself included prefer them to face forward.
When you grab the mag from the pouch it is easier to index your pointer finger along the front of the mag. This allows you to load without looking. Sort of the way you find your nose without looking. I'm sure there is video on youtube somewhere showing this technique. |

It is more natural since the bullets will end up facing forward the gun when your hand rotates up to position. I also prefer my AR mags that way for the same reason. Some folks prefer bullets backwards or the "beer can" grip and truth be told on an AR it works either way. Most folks are going to run their handgun spare mags bullets forward. |

Bullets facing back in handguns and rifles both.
I have practiced reloading this way for so long I don't want to start over doing it a new way. |

Pistol mag rounds = forwards...always. Theres a reason why the top shooters in nation do that.
Rifle mag, it's personal preference. Forward or backward depending on your grip |

It is the same hand rotation movement as drawing a handgun from a holster strong side at 3 o'clock. |

Interesting I've never even given any thought as to which way the bullets face before now
