This can be had at Acadamy Sports & Outdoors for about $10.00. They have a single mag version for a couple $ less. It has a velcro cover which has the added benefit of being worn with an IWB and tucked shirt.

for a budget item, and a "grunt work" item (not dress-up), dig around in the used holster/knife sheath bins at the local pawn shops and find a nice nylon (large size) multi-tool (generic description "leatherman") belt sheath. I'll guarantee one can be found to fit most any conventional handgun magazine for $5-6.

I can personally attest to their functionality

Wow thanks for all the good advice. Fortunatly a tax refund is on the way so hopefully I'll be able to get some choice selections from your suggestions.

I am now looking for a double mag pouch for the 45 XD mags

Did your new XD not come with the accessory kit, which includes a double mag. pouch? Here's my XD 45 setup:

Spare mag in a pants pocket.

Ar-15 pistols can use stripper clips.....
revolvers chambered for semi auto rounds use moon clips....

I will try to find the link later... but I bought a little V shaped pouch that the mag goes into then slips into your pocket and breaks up its print.

Glock 17 in galco summer comfort.

I don't know about mags, but I see alot of spare tires being carried around!

anyway, I wear cargo jeans, which have a (I kid you not) perfect sized pocket on the lower "saddle bag" pocket that a mag fits into, with just the base plate sticking out. to the unknowing observer, you can't even tell it's a mag.

that's a nice MTac, though.

Ok, what brand cargo pants? That's cool.

WalMart brand.

srsly.

Cool. I'll check them out. I'm always looking for more pockets to carry stuff.

Told you there would be more good cheap ideas.

I use a Desantis mag-packer in my left front pocket if I do not feel like wearing one on my belt. I have practiced with it a great deal and feel that it offers a good cheap alternative. These can be had for under fifteen bucks.

This is a stock photo....you will not find a 1911 magazine in mine!

Sounds to me like a confession of sin that needs to be repented of.

You have such good taste in everything else! Or perhaps you are just coming out of the closet?

Seriously though, for a while I carried a spare magazine in my sock. Took a couple days to get used to, but I just never could find a way to sit comfortably with it on my hip. Maybe that'll give you some alternative just in case.

Wait a sec...

They make a generic ramen???
