I am about to order one of these
https://www.jmcustomkydex.com/p/SPMP3-G940.html
My dilemma is which 1.5in clip to get. I *want* the slimmest clip possible but I also may find myself attaching it to an Andrews Leather or similar Beltman 1.5in belt from time to time.
For those that have the thinner clip and a similar belt, any advice?
I have the same mag carrier with the "concealment" clip. I use it on a 1.5" wide Wilderness Instructor 5-stitch belt with excellent results.Quote:

As long as the belt isn't truly slack, the OWB mag pouch (on the offside hip) is held in place just fine by reasonable belt tension, even though the clip's or loop's opening is intended to fit a thick belt.
For OWB mag carry, how much concealment difference is there between the narrow-belt clip vs. thick-belt clip? Not much.
If you want to have one OWB mag pouch to do double duty with thick and thin belts, the thicker clip is OK, at least IME.
Well, I’ve got three of the “thin” in on order now.
It’s really for my wife, and she probably won’t carry at all, just use them for a class and maybe some matches eventually, so I think we’ll be ok.
We’ll see how they work on a wilderness belt and adjust accordingly.
