Idpa mag carriers

[Craig T]

What mag carriers are you using for idpa? I'm looking to upgrade from fobus paddle. Looking for mag carriers I can use for both idpa and uspsa production. Christmas is coming

 

[gregkl]

How many mags do you want to carry? I had a guy who made my holster(Kydex), make me a mag carrier that holds two.

 

[Craig T]

I need two mag pouches for idpa and 4 for uspsa production

 

[Grelber]

I like comp tac single mag pouches. Kind of pricey though

 

[Craig T]

i was looking at the safariland model 773... I have a 50% off card that expires the end of December... only thing is, it says its legal for uspsa production... but says nothing about idpa... any thoughts?

I just looked at those and they appear to be ok for IDPA. If they aren't, they would be so close probably no one will care. It has to cover 2" of the mag I believe. I'd call Safariland and ask if it does. They have great customer service.

I will jump in here and agree with an earlier post regarding Comp-Tac mag holders. I use singles, but I do know some folks who use the double carriers. Again, I use them both for IDPA and USPSA Production.

Thoughts on the Safariland, they would probably be ok for a local IDPA match, but there are equipment check stages as you move up to State, Regional, and National competitions. Sign-up for Comp-Tac news letter...they have discounts multiple times a year.

I used to use these:
Single Open Front Magazine Pouches-Wilson Combat

no idea of legality under current rules.

I always recommend singles. you want a little space around the mag to quickly get your hand around the mag and for most folks the doubles put them too close together.

I like the Comp-Tac mag carriers, too although I prefer the double-mag set up. My Comp-Tac gear is fantastic and I don't regret a single cent I spent on it despite a higher price tag than some other manufacturer's products.

I have both blade tech and comp tac stuff. I prefer blade tech myself. The OP had a 50% off safariland though. I've never seen anything that cheap on comptac or bladetech.

Have you thought about having a local Kydex holster maker,making you some? I had some 2 mag units made for me. I picked the direction, color and belt size. Plus he used my mags to ensure a perfect fit(they do have a tension screw though).

 

[rvb]

just some more scoop on the wilson carriers.... i started off w/ bladetech. while taking a class w/ ernie langdon he saw i was occasionally struggling to quickly snatch the mag from the carrier and he recommended the wilsons (what he was using at the time). They are open in the front and as you draw allow you to rock the mag forward and out (don't require a perfectly straight up draw). he said he had ditched bladetech carriers for the same reason. a good tool in a game where you can't have adjustable tension. Bill W is above all else a capitalist, so I can't imagine he'd make a rule that makes his own product illegal...

I use Comp-Tac double mag for IDPA

 

[Killion]

dont they sell fishing vests with built in mag carriers?

 

[pdg45acp]

I shoot IDPA with a Glock 17.
I've used the double Fobus carriers, they work but that's about it
Two of the cheap Glock single mag carriers work great.
The Blade Tech double mag carriers are what I use the most.

I use the Blade-Tech double mag pouches with the tek-lok belt clips. They work great for me. I have used the fobus mag carriers in the past, but I prefer the Blade-Tech.
