i carry my handgun IWB, but my spare mag is carried in a single mag pouch paddle holster by fobus. this works great for me and even if it does show a little it looks like a cell phone holder.

Sheesh...if you need more than one mag...what kind of illegal activity are you doing?

^^ pass the popcorn

Yeah, but your extra mag is a 30 round Glock mag!

Just turn that dog of yours loose on them, and I don't mean that sweet little girl Bullmastiff either.

Ha! Bad guy deterrent is the only reason I keep that dog around. I'm sure the bull would just sit there and look at them!

JUMBO VERSIPACK Concealed Carry Sling Bag - MAXPEDITION HARD-USE GEAR Tactical Nylon Gear for Military, Law Enforcement, Tactical Concealed Carry; Tailored to Perform Tactical

You can carry all kinds of goodies in these. Mags, tool, firestarters, comm gear, whatever. You just have to be willing to be seen carrying a man purse. It's a very masculine man purse though.

Ok, so, just to recap. I need the following
Bandoleer
man purse
Plate armor
Armored car
Raven concealment dbl mag pouch with 33 round GLOCK 9mm
Candy so I don't freak out the children......
anything else?

P.S. I really do appreciate those who tried to answer my question and Reps incoming soon as I can.

Definitely need some protection for that kind of thing. Bad things could happen. Might want to pack some penicillin, just in case.

Some good tips on carrying a spare mag.

My thought is that the percentages just don't require it.

Chance that I'll ever have draw my weapon = 1 in 1000.
Chance that I'll ever have to fire my weapon = 1 in 10 instances of having to draw
Chance that I'll have to expend more than 17rds = 1 in 100 instances of having to fire OR
Chance that my carry piece will have a malfunction = 1 in 1000 instances of having to fire (1 failure in a 1000 rounds, a pretty conservative estimate, really considering that a not all failure require a mag change, just tap rack bang)

So we're looking at about a literally 1 in a million chance of having to fire more than 17rds, and 1 in 10 million of having a malfunction.

If that kind of probability requires that I carry another mag, I should also start carrying a lightning rod. Chances of being struck by lightning are estimated something along the lines of 1:700,000.

Look at all the people who still play the lottery.
I'll stick with having a couple extra mags on me.

I'm good with my 12+1. I highly doubt I'm going to wind up in a shoot out. I'm not a cop. Besides if you get confronted by more then one person, and they all have a weapon. You better shoot straight, and be quick on the draw. Now if I go to Greenwood, or Indy I will carry one extra mag. Just because of the distance from home.

If you have a malfunction a spare mag could save your life. Just saying.

If you're not faster than the bad guy, a vest could save your life. (especially if you're fiddling with your mags) How many folks here wear those?

I suppose you don't have a spare tire either.
After all what are the odds?
Each of us will live within our comfort level.
Many here must have never been Boy Scouts huh?

Marine Corps. It's kinda like the Boy Scouts, only with a better marksmanship merit badge

So, here is the deal. I'm one of those guy who carries a gun but no spare mag. I have noticed it as the next weakness I want to knock out of my carry system.

Now, here is my problems:
1. I'm a concealed type of person. I carry a CBST and they no longer make IWB mag carriers.
2. The only pocket I have free is my rear weak side pocket. I always wear jeans.

So, I need recommendations and preferably pictures of your concealed mag rigs is they are in pocket or IWB.

Thank you for your time my brothers.

P.S. I have been looking at raven concealment for my butt pocket but are they confortable to sit on, does that mag show outside the top of the pocket. Do they bend with the body? Can you fit 2 mags in 1 rear jean pocket?

Edited for details: I have been looking at a phantom double or single for a double stack XD40 mag.

Haven't read through all the posts but take you CB to an Amish upholstery guy and explain to him what you want. I'm sure he can fashion a leather pouch that sits just forward of your gun.
