How/Where to Carry an Extra Magazine for CC

[bigfatdave]

In one of these.
Why go half-assed, you can match the design of your SuperTuck and have your mags balancing the gun out.

Or you could carry a LOT of mags:

See, I really don't care for the feel of a supertuck or similar holsters due to that huge leather backpiece, and in following, I really don't like that IWB mag holder either, for the same reason. I like my firearm, holster, and mag pouch to not only conceal well, but leave as small a footprint on my comfort as possible. I keep a 1911 in an IWB at about 5o'clock, with the mag pouch either at 7 or 9 o'clock. Neither weigh enough to drag a good belt down, and they're comfortable... The current holster is a blackhawk nylon convertible type holster with a removable thumb-break (which is removed) worn IWB. Very thin, comfortable, doesn't let the gun pinch or poke me, and holds the gun VERY well, even running. The mag pouch is a multi-tool pouch on my belt, so worn OWB and basically openly as they're about as common as seeing a cell phone on someone's hip. Comfort and concealability are key for me, and I really can't see that mag pouch being comfortable, especially for a smaller guy like me.

Suggestions for sources.

Smoky Mountain Knife Works "SMKW" has a nice catalog, and besides knives, there are other tools, and MANY sizes of pouches / cases for inconspicuous carry. I black out the names with marker. My favorite carry for G-21 mags is the 6" Stanley one-snap tool pouch, up-side-down on its belt loop. I worked it over a bit to reduce the "snap!", but that's a personal thing. These pouches are $3.99+ship. ...

Well, you free up pockets for the grenades, at least.

I actually like IWB, I tend to need to squeeze my self into tight spots (more than just a side-effect of bulk) so crap hanging outside my belt generally gets scraped off and left behind for me to pick up on the return squeeze-through.
Stuff carried IWB, on the other hand, slips through just fine, I've never snagged anything but the clips on my SuperTucks or that Tucker Gunleather mag carrier.

I have a winchester multi-tool pouch that has long since lost it's multi-tool that has fit every magazine I've thrown at it (though I haven't had occasion to try a desert eagle mag lol) including singlestack 9mm, doublestack .40 and .45, and single stack .45

It holds them fairly securely with a velcro flap, and goes over the belt in two different ways for vertical or horizontal hold. I prefer horizontal around 8 o'clock.

You just saved me some money.

No problem, Glockurai, glad I could help

yes, however you descide to carry it, be sure you train with it. there are some disadvantages to not carrying it in a mag pouch on the belt, however you shouldn't train one way on the range doing something that is different from what you will be doing when you actually need to use your gun and or do a reload in a fight.

Since I am just a "J.Q.Public", having never been in LE, or the Military, and the like, I was mentored to do what I would actually be doing in real life. So I did, and still do.

Repetition becomes habit, habit becomes faith.-Anon.

So all my life, including those years in some serious work, I kept it simple, and continued quality practice with simple. This way it did not matter if I was working, or doing quality practice, or taking lessons, or was awakened in the wee hours.

Besides the fact I am not that smart, is the fact when matters get serious, we humans lose some motor skills and we can get brain-fades.

Less is more, and simple is good.
