Kydex Magazine Pouch Recommendations

[BillSWPA]

What belt are you using, that clip mag pouches are slipping off? Mine are "slippery" on the thinnest belts I own, specifically on the new Tenicor belt, but on a regular leather "gun" belt or my Volund, they clip on and don't even move unless I make them move.

I have broken one (1) kytex pouch in the 10-15 years of HARD use I've given them (didn't actually break, but the body of the pouch caught on a door frame when I was going through it at full speed, and it bent out at 90 degrees - subsequently cracked when I bent it back into shape) - and I use Kytex for literally every semiauto pistol I own/carry.

Just one old fat retired guy's experience, but it's been mirrored by lots of other guys I know.

My belt is a 1.25” wide, double thickness belt made by The Beltman. The pouch that slipped off uses a plastic clip with plenty of room to accommodate the double thickness belt and a large hook on the end to prevent what happened. I have no idea how it slipped off, but once it did, the plastic was irreparably bent. I always thread my belt through the clip as though it was a loop to prevent weakening the clip.

Nevermind. You are looking for kydex.

I may need to expand my search to other materials and/or double magazine pouches. I ordered a Blade-Tech double pouch to serve a least as a temporary solution. Given the all too common use of belt clips for single magazine pouches, it may be more than temporary. I have also previously used a Kramer double magazine pouch, but found the tension screw to be difficult to tighten. Despite that issue, the Kramer may end up being my longer term solution.

My favorite is the JMCK with the fixed belt loop but I don’t believe it’s currently offered. His clip on version works well too.

Another user in favor of Kytex. I have LOTS of them for several different pistols/magazines. They have been used hard for EDC and competition for several years, and never had a failure. Customer service is outstanding and delivery time very good.

I've used their mag carriers for 1911's, 2011's, Glock G26, G36, G19, G17, G34, G20, and G43's, Sig P365's, Springfield XDm's, CZ 75's, CZ 97's, CZ RAMI's, and CZ PCR's. In 1 1/2" and 1 3/4" widths. Zero issues.

Those Kytex ones look almost as minimal (in a most excellent way) as the legacy Custom Carry Concepts Mag Pouches.

I will likely order a few to back up the CCC ones I have as they are essentially unobtanium at this point. I am on my back up set of the CCC ones after I broke a couple after 10 years of frequent use both in the CCW and field training realms.

Kydex is fast, often inexpensive, readily available and is great, right up and until it breaks/cracks etc.

I just picked up a 1.5 inch Kramer Mag pouch in horsehide. A bit bulkier that the CCC/Kytex offerings but with its sewn on loop and leather construction, likely to last past my lifetime.

In that case, take a look at the Blue Force Gear single pistol belt pouch.

Same experience. I have used Kytex pouches for years and have yet to have one break. Minimal dimensions, great retension, easy on/off, durable. Have used for 1911's, different Springfields, different HKs, different Walthers, S&W.

Do you have 1.25" clips on your pouch? I ask because even the large hooks can slip over the belt if allowed to rotate very much. A 1.5" clip would be susceptible to this on a 1.25 " belt. Just a thought.
