Safariland Bianchi 123-18-2: Conceal Mag Holder, Plain, Black

I wear this every day as part of my EDC and it has not failed me. The Velcro is as strong as the day I bought it. I carry a P365 XMACRO 17rd metal mag with Hornady 135gr Critical Duty rounds and the leather just envelops it with ease!I actually worked a drill technic into my training for this holster. I know there’s already a reloading technic called reloading but I wanted to get as familiar and as far as I possibly could with my gear. Just like if you get a new gun holster, you drill it and drill it and drill it until your lightning. Well here’s how I drill this mag holster situated on my belt at 11 o’clock while I carry appendix.I call it RGPS. Rip-Grip-Press-Slam.• RIP • Rip the Velcro flap holding mag in holster.• GRIP • Grip the magazine and slide it out of holster.• PRESS • Press the magazine release on your handgun and drop the empty/malfunctioned mag out.• SLAM • Slam the spare mag home and if you do it hard enough it’ll actually release the slide without having to add the extra step of pressing the slide release, that is, if you achieved slide lock in the first place and that will allow you to quickly get back into the fight, but if you didn’t achieve slide lock then you’ll have to rack it but that alone should be incorporated into your malfunctioning drill. Anyway, I digress…I love that I can take it on and off easily with the strap that wraps up, under my belt and comes down, overtop to Velcro in place. It retains the shape and the contours of the magazine.I LOVE the fact that it is in line with my belt and practically disappears under a shirt. I’ve tested this holster with my Glock 43X extended mag + just for 💩&🤭 I thought I’d throw in my 1911 single stack and just as I excepted, I HANDLED THEM FLAWLESSLY! I’ve attached photos detailing all this. As well as a photo of the magazines tested using this holster.In conclusion, this is not a bespoke, but it is a highly versatile, highly adaptable, HIGHLY RELIABLE magazine holster! I highly recommend this for anyone that needs an EDC mag holster that’s not Kydex and isn’t straight up and down vertical crap.IF YOU WANT A GREAT LEATHER HOLSTER TO HOLD ONTO YOUR SPARE MAGAZINE AND KNOW IT WILL BE THERE IN THE SAME POSITION AS YOU PUT IT 10-14HOURS PRIOR IF GOD FORBID YOU ARE EVER PUT INTO A POSITION WHERE YOU NEED TO CHANGE MAGS, THEN BUY NOW!!!

I got this for my Kahr P45 6-round magazine. It works like a champ. Also tried my 1911 8-round mags, no problem. Now a 10-round single stack 1911 mag? No dice, it will not fit at all. That's fine, it works with single stack and I am pretty sure it will work with others that I have. of course if the mag is too big you need a different model.I got this solely for being horizontal but I have learned much more:1. Vertical mags are fine but I'm not built like a chimney and anything sticking up above my belt line is going to have to fight for space if you know what I mean. That means I'm going to get poked and grabbing a mag will be that much slower.2. It looks like a cell phone case or a pipe case. And why not! Why do concealable mag cases need to look like something the Adam-12 folks wear on duty? I'm not subject to inspection so I don't need patent leather and all the shiny stuff. Just hold my mag please. Now if the case gets exposed it won't shout that there is a firearm nearby.3. The entire mag is covered! Cool! That means less chance of something snagging it, bumping it, spilling on it, or soiling it. Also less a chance that it can fall out yet I can still grab and rip at better speeds than a vertical mag holder.4. Yay for Velcro! I had a really cool mag case but it would not fit on my favorite belt. Then what's the point? A 2" belt may be 2.01" and a 2" mag slide may be 1.99". Either way there is no flexibility there. The Velcro lets me adjust the tightness and width accordingly.5. Putting this on after already having your belt on is easy. You slide the leather up under your belt, then roll the mag upwards and then attach the Velcro from the top. Very easy. You are not fidgeting with small pieces of material in a tight space at an odd angle. You can even harness this to yourself one handed. And I suppose if you want this on your other side (I wear it on my left) then install it upside down with the leather going down behind your belt and not up. You can also remove your belt and have the case drop to the floor (or catch it) rather than fighting with it before you can pull the belt any further.6. Love the material. I had debated getting something in nylon or something ripstop, but being at waist level it may compete with me for the amount of food that it can attract. When I remove it at the end of the day it is as clean as when I put it on. One less thing to clean.7. The end cover piece...well you can pull it right and use all the Velcro and your mag is snug (assuming it fits in the first place). Or you can connect the Velcro right on the very end. While the mag may slide around a little it will not fall out or make any noise, but there is that much less Velcro to yoink when you remove your mag. Think of it like adjustable tension.8. No drama. I searched online for a mag case, found this one, then googled others and found ones that appear the same for 2x the cost. Even here on Amazon here are different models and the tiny images they show you do not tell you really what the differences are. Well fret not and just get one. Unless you are replacing the exact same model for some reason, they all do the same thing. They hold the mag horizontally. Let's not make that an expensive drama. You're not missing anything.Well there is probably more but if you have read all this and are still undecided then I have to wonder how long it took you to pick your socks out of your drawer this morning. If it takes you longer to choose socks than it does to read this, then by all means write to the manufacturer for a spec sheet. The rest of us, well just click buy and there you go. I'd check the manufacturer site to make sure it worked with my mags if I had something unusual. But a 1911 is easy and that's a pretty well known standard size.So there you go, no more guess work, and a deal at twice the price!

This thing works great. I love not having a mag sticking into my side or printing all day long. This rides my belt nicely and I found that, being right handed, I can comfortably carry this at the 10 or 11 o'clock position for optimized comfort and draw. I am a big guy at 6'4" 450 lbs which was of concern at first. My big gut does hang over and rub on the sharp part of the seam in the "leather" but some clipping and conditioning made that bearable. You can see where I am talking about on the flared out part opposite the retention flap in the display photo. This is the only mag pouch I can recommend for daily carry and if Safari land will make this with the seam points on the INSIDE where they belong, I will buy one for all of my carry guns. Slight upgrade to material or assembly would be 5 stars.
