What is the Best Glock 20 Magazine Pouch?

[sargents1]

I just got a G20SF and I am looking for mag pouch(es) to use for 3-gun matches.

In the past when I used my 9mm I have needed all five of my 15 round magazines to complete the course so I need to have some way of carrying four spare mags for the G20. Naturally my pouches from my 9mm dont fit the larger G20 magazines.

Does anyone have any first hand experience with something they have used for a 10mm double stack gun?

I would hate to have to resort to using toilet paper rolls and duct tape in a match...its just kind of silly to show up with a brand new gun and some starvin'-Marvin mag pouches.

These work fine for me.

Order a Glock 20 version of what you have, if you like it. Otherwise, Blade-Tech.

Heck of a 3-gun stage that needs 60+ rounds.

Blade-Tech makes some good magazine pouches, but I'd stay away from the adjustable ones. They don't hold up.

I use and very much like the Safariland 771s.

Thanks for the replies! I am considering buying some kydex sheets and making my own for two reasons

1. I want something that carries four magazines securely.
2. I like aggravation and wasted weekends.

Those Dueling trees can eat up a lot of ammo if you dont hit them all with the first shot.
I figure: 7 targets/tree, two trees, *1.5rounds per target average = 20+ rounds just on the trees. Then add in the rest of the course...yeah you can use up 60 rounds pretty quick.

Plus, I like to shoot. Sometimes I take a few extra shots just to make sure the target is Extra dead .

I've seen guys go through 4 mags worth of ammo on a texas star... get rattled, frustrated, and just bang away and miss until they run out of ammo.

Yes, at some point it is better to put one round at each target (to avoid failure-to-engage penalties) then come back to them. Seen it at rifle matches, too, especially on long range targets, burning through a mag just to get 1 or 2 targets. :banghead:

A star - if you miss, go shoot some other targets then come back to it after it slows down. Stars are most fun with a shotgun.

Most of the matches I shoot require you to clear the star before moving on. Diabolical.

I went thru one match where I shot the whole pistol course (was doing fine too) and got to the end, cleared the last two paper targets, and two poppers and was in the process of putting the gun on-safe when someone yelled "tree!".

So, I took the gun off-safe and shot down thru the dueling tree and flipped 'em all from black to white.

Then, after I got to the end of the tree, I remembered that the pre-match instructions had said "no white showing", because one side of the plates on the dueling trees were painted white. So I again took the gun off safe, and re-did the tree, white to black.

Turns out that someone had re-set the tree wrong with the black showing to start with (the white side should have been showing to start so you would flip them from white to black). They let me take that last string off my final score, but goes to show that even when you are doing well, you can basically forget that you just fired a whole shot string at a dueling tree...duh

Moral of the story is, get your head on straight and pre-run the course if you can. Run it several times in your head.

I've got one of those CDNN holsters in 9mm. It is ok, as long as I don't need to carry two mag pouches. The paddle on that thing is too long and it digs the bejesus out of your thigh if you have it at 10 or 11 o'clock, as opposed to 9 o'clock. It's ok though after you take a saw and a dremmel to it.
