Up for review I have two holsters. First up is the Tagua double mag carrier.

I purchased this little beauty for my 1911 mags at the low cost of $20 from a local shop. At first, for the price, I gave it a skeptical looking over, in a word this holster is STIFF. It actually took me two days with my mags wrapped in an old t-shirt to loosen it up enough to be able to draw my mags out comfortably and without taking the thing with my mags. It comes in at 4" wide by 4" long and 1" thick, nothing special there. The grain on the holster itself is nice, nothing to 'ooooh' and 'ahhhhh' and write home about but it doesn't look like a $20 POS. It has two buttons on the rear with two 2" slits designed for a gun belt. The stitching is single stitched and the material itself is made from vegetable tanned cowhide. All in all it's a pretty decent mag holster for a really low price.

Next up is the Tagua IWB Yaqui holster.

It's nothing really great, in fact it's pretty flimsy for a holster, and only has double stitching on the sides. The clip is an old military style holster clip and either side of the holster has 2" belt loops, so it can be worn in and out of the waistband. Surprisingly when I draw from the IWB position it holds very tight and the draw is very smooth, from 10 o' clock, 3 o' clock and 5 o' clock. All-in-all I wouldn't spend more than $15 on this holster, but if you want a beater then this is the way to go.
