Yes they do. Hollis Holsters is a good honest man and makes some great ones in kydex.

Cannot imagine ever carrying extra ammo, but from reading this string of comments maybe I should rethink it.

Still I cannot imagine a threat so powerful that I would still be alive and able to use another magazine.
And that is fine for you, SA_Steve. You carry whatever firearm and amount of ammo that makes you feel comfortable. Like many other decisions in life, it's a matter of which risks you are willing to manage and which benefits are more meaningful to you.

That you do carry is the important part. What and how you carry are personal choices based on personal decisions.
Well said. This is the reason there is no perfect gun, perfect caliber, or one gun does it all because we all have different likes, dislikes, and needs.

The vertical mag holders to me are uncomfortable. All of my mag holders are horizontal and they are just single holders.

Re: Do you carry spare magazines?

I carry an extra mag not only for extra ammo, but a lot of failures can be fixed quickly with a mag change.

Revolver days I always carry a speedloader or speedstrip.
