The ExtraCarry magazine pouch is a really creative idea that solves a major problem for those of us who like to pocket carry our extra magazine. So when ExtraCarry reached out and sent us a sample product to review, I was really excited. ExtraCarry provides a carbon fiber reinforced nylon holster for your magazine that conveniently clips inside of the pocket. The design of the clip and the ridge in the carbon fiber reinforced nylon guarantees that the holster will stay secure inside of your pocket, meaning that drawing your magazine will always be clean. You might say though, why not just use a side car holster and appendix carry?
Most days when I carry, I carry at the 3 O'Clock position. There are definitely some speed advantages to appendix carry, and certainly it is the most concealable option. However, 3 O'clock is just way more comfortable in my opinion, especially while driving in the car. So at this point I used a tier 1 concealed echo holster that is canted at an angle, perfect for 3 O’clock carry. With the short handle on the Glock 26, even wearing tight clothing, it doesn't scream gun as the crease looks a lot more natural.
However this presents a problem. Many appendix carry holsters feature a side car attachment, which makes carrying a spare magazine very convenient. If you carry 3 O'Clock, you aren't going to be able to stack a mag on the same side, since you will be holding the pistol with your dominant hand. Similarly, you could in the waistband carry a spare magazine, which I've tried, but it is incredibly uncomfortable if the magazine is still appendix carried while sitting down. It also prints like crazy to be carrying something at both 9 O’clock and 3 O’clock, so that's off the table.
So like most people who 3 O’clock carry, my spare magazine goes in my pocket, or some people don't carry a spare magazine at all.
Before the ExtraCarry Mag Pouch, I would keep my spare magazine in my pocket. I'd either have to keep that pocket completely empty aside from the magazine, or I'd have to fumble with keys, a cell phone, a knife, and possibly an EDC flashlight, to find the magazine. In the heat of the moment, that would be problematic.
The ExtraCarry Mag Pouch instead clips securely inside your pocket. As mentioned earlier, it is designed to fit tightly with the pocket, preventing the mag pouch from coming out with the magazine when you draw. The product is designed to look like an EDC knife, so overall it is pretty unassuming.
Competitor products don't have this locking security so the mag could come out with its holder. They also oftentimes don't protect the top of the magazine like the ExtraCarry Mag Pouch does, so the possibility of debris getting into the mag, or a round becoming dislodged is a possibility with those other products.
The product is very functional and it has become a part of my edc. It goes right in my bedside safe next to my holstered edc pistol. It goes on my person when I wake up, and goes back there before I go to bed. I carry a Glock 26, so I oftentimes will pocket carry either a full size Glock 17 magazine, a Glock 19 magazine with a +2 extension (as I sometimes do carry a Glock 19 sized handgun if the weather permits), or a Glock 26 magazine with a +2 extension. And there's an ExtraCarry Mag Pouch for all of these models. In fact, ExtraCarry has an option for the vast majority of common concealed carry pistols out there, but even if yours isn't covered, they have a universal option that is fully adjustable and works with most single or double stack mags yet has built in adjustable retention that works great.
I can't see myself ever carrying a TX22, but hey, now I have that option because the universal holster is so flexible. ExtraCarry told me it will even work with a 21 round Staccato mag.
So overall this is a great product for carrying that extra magazine in a way that is comfortable and allows quick access to the magazine.
The product is near perfect in its simplicity and usability. It makes pocket carry nearly as fast as any waistline method of carry. I really only have one suggestion for improvement on this product. I wish there was a lower profile option in terms of the clip hardware. One where the clip sits flat. I realize the swivel function might be lost, but I think it would result in a flatter overall profile which would be slightly more covert. I spoke to the creator at ExtraCarry and he is working on a deeper carry solution, so I'm very excited at that possibility.
In any case, the ExtraCarry Mag pouch is an excellent product. I'll a link to our blog where we'll have links to the product. If you use code CRACKSHOT, ExtraCarry will give you free shipping. - Розваги
Very interesting. As soon as my budget allows, this will be one of my next purchases. I’m particularly interested in G17 and G26 sizes. Lots of potential for this product line!
Thanks for watching! I do like it so far, helps keep the mag separate from all the stuff that I edc lol
It is a good product, but why is it $55? I'll stick with my Neo mag carrier. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching!
Neomag is a great product too, but one thing that might be kind of nice is that this would potentially keep pocket lint out of the mag?
That's one of the big differentiators, the owner of extra carry pointed this out to me as a big differentiator as well. These are made in the USA so that is part of the expense I'm sure.
Okay so I looked the neomag up because I wasn't directly familiar with it. Cool idea as well, but yeah that pouch would be the big difference here (keeps first round from getting dislodged or lint from getting in the mag). In practice I don't know how often that could happen although I have had the first round unseat a little on a pocket carried mag before. Either option is honestly better than nothing no doubt. The perfect product might have the combination of the pouch and a lower profile clip.
