DIY Hybrid Holster, Version 1.0

[chefkristian]

I've been practicing reloads and they really aren't appreciably slower than having the mag on the weak side. They're actually quicker than the way I was carrying the spare, which was in my left front pocket. The mag is actually very easy to reach and it ends up oriented in my hand just right to slam it home. I guess the major factor in how well this would work for anyone is how much belly they have to reach across. I've recently dropped about 2 inches off of my waist and I'm working on losing more. I figure the more Iose, the faster my reloads will get!

I hear you on that! I recently lost 100 lbs. and 9 inches around my belly, my reloads are definitely faster :)

I make a lot of my own backpacking equipment, I might have to give this a shot.

I'll echo some of the concerns of the strong side mag. I'm thinking though I might do a similar setup, but with a fixed blade knife mount instead of the mag holder.

Maybe buy the hardware kit and clips from Comp-Tac. They work pretty well and are fairly cheap.

I agree cross body isn't my first choice of locations for a spare mag, but it's much better location than at home.

Yeah, cross body isn't the best, but previously I was carrying the spare mag loose in my from pocket. All this considered, this solution is better, IMO.
