I didnt like how a loose mag sat in my pocket so I Bought a Snagmag for pocket carry. Not terribly cheap for what you get but it does work very well in jeans.

I've tried to access a spare mag in my pockets (both the front and the leg cargo pocket) during a training class; it's ridiculously clumsy. If I were in an actual gunfight at the times, I would've been walking/running around without a loaded gun for ten or more seconds. In one case I was forced to stop running the drill to yank the mag (somehow got stuck ) out of my pocket. In other words, I most likely would've been killed trying to get a mag out of my pocket. And forget trying to get a subcompact mag out of your pocket under stress; in practice you'll probably be unable to even find the thing in your pocket. Like I said though, don't take my word for it, try it out for yourself. Create any semi-realistic scenario for yourself and just try getting your mag out of your pocket while trying to move off the X/towards cover. Then try it with even a crappy mag carrier. There's no comparison. |

Whatever way you find to carry it, don't carry it in Calif.

6+1+6 with a slim light weight IWB pistol - and a slim light weight pocket mag for that mythical mag failure. Red. |

A Gerber multi tool pouch on a belt, will hold a 16 round mag perfectly
And it looks like a multi tool |

Ive used a nylon knife pouch as a mag carrier in the past, but that was a long time ago. These days, I find kydex works much better. Ive made kydex pocket mag carriers for a couple of friends in the past. They are sorta shaped like the pocket, have a slight bend to them, to fit the contour of your leg, and carry two mags. I carry to much other junk in my pockets for them to work for me, and as was mentioned, its a lot easier to get to the mag, when its outside of the pocket. They dont get all those dust bunnies in them either. |

I've carried a spare in a pocket many times; not so much around here, but when I used to work.
This neomag works and I assume it will work for mags other than H&K https://www.hkparts.net/shop/pc/NeoM...-257p18365.htm

"The flap type could easily be taken for a Leatherman pouch at a casual glance."
I use GI digital camo flapped mag pouches for my "belt accessories"(flashlight, multi-tool, phone, and pistol mag). |
