    Where/how do you carry spare ammo if you carry aiwb?

    Now that my aiwb holster came in I'm curious where I'm going to carry spare ammo. A speed strip fits in my key pocket petfect. Sacrifice my front right pocket for a speed loader?

    I'm waiting on a JOX speed loader pouch that I'm going to try at 11oclock and see if reaching across with my right hand is feasible​.

    I have a galco speed loader pouch but it sticks out a mile. I also have a leather pouch that fits a speed strip but I would normally carry that at the 1 o'clock when carrying owb at 3 o'clock.

    Let's see your setup or hear your recommendation.

    I use Del Fatti PMC carriers for my 9mm 642-1, which I do carry AIWB.



    Either in a cargo or side pocket. Perfect indexing with the rod, and positions the moonclip for reloading.





    I’ve tried a few different methods of carry, belt posts, Ruger clips, etc. Feel these are the best bet... judging you are running moonclips.

    Normally when I carry a revolver it's my 60-14. I normally carry it in my right front pocket and a speed strip also in the same pocket.

    With a revolver, the speed loaders are typically in the right pocket with a strip in the left; for pistols the spare mag(s) are in the usual 9-10 o'clock position.

    I keep my magazines around 11oclock. I've been carrying aiwb for the past 5-6 years I think. So I'm used to it. It's just a bit different with the revolver it seems due to reloads and bulk.

    Why the speed strip in the L pocket?

    So far tonight I've got the speed loader in my right pocket. I guess I've lost some weight as it fits comfortably. I just usually keep my keys there.

    I keep a speed loader in my right front pocket on J-frame (or K-frame) days, FWIW. If I have a jacket, I'll usually have a couple more sprinkled about, because, why not.

    From hanging around Darryl, I thought the proper place to carry your primary extra revolver ammunition was in a second revolver?
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    Do you mean watch pocket? I carry two speed strips back to back in my watch pocket with the tabs upward. Its been a strip of wadcutters and one of SWCs, which I suppose is what was handy when I loaded them last. The J was usually loaded with wadcutters.

    Not exactly your answer, but I normally have a J or Colt D frame and a speedloader in the right front pocket, so a speed loader shouldnt be bad.

    A NY reload. I like it!

    I do weak hand reloads, so a Comp III stays in my left front pocket.
