Best Glock Mag Holders And Holsters
Feb 14th 2020
Glock is one of the most recognizable brands in the gun world. Simply put, they make excellent firearms. However, a great gun is still incomplete without a high-performance holster to keep it secure. Furthermore, when you’re thrust into a self-defense situation, you never know what threats may arise. Sometimes your gun’s standard ammo capacity isn’t enough.
To truly maximize your ability to defend yourself and those around you, you should be carrying magazine holsters along with your concealed carry gun.
Magazine Holsters
It never hurts to be prepared, so investing in extra magazine storage is a smart idea. Single-mag or double-mag pouches can be carried easily with belt clips and are slim enough to be concealed carry along with your Glock pistol. Mag carriers should firmly secure your magazine and ammunition, while also making it easily accessible and simple to remove.
Just like regular gun holsters, a mag carrier comes in two different styles: OWB or IWB. OWB stands for outside of the waistband and IWB stands for inside of the waistband.
OWB magazine holsters are better optimized for open carry; however, when they are paired with a long shirt or loose jacket, they can still easily function as concealed carry holsters.
IWB is optimal for concealed carry as these holsters are comfortably out of sight. A good magazine carrier should have slim dimensions ,while still accommodating the magazine for maximum comfort.
Magazine holsters are made using a variety of materials, including light metals and different types of plastic composites. However, the most superior material for mag carriers is Kydex. Kydex is a type of ultra-durable thermoplastic.
This acrylic-polyvinyl chloride composite is virtually indestructible, while also remaining lightweight and easy to carry. Due to its structural integrity and lightweight properties, Kydex is also used to manufacture airplane parts as well as holsters.
Kydex is resistant to the elements. It is completely waterproof and is highly resistant to corrosive agents and chemicals. Wearing down Kydex takes a lot more than you are likely to encounter. It also remains unaffected by extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold. Modern Kydex molding allows for Kydex holsters to be slim, space-conscious, and extremely solid.
Gun Holsters
Every great gun deserves a great holster. Buying a Glock is an investment, so it makes sense to ensure your gun is as safe as it can possibly be at all times. Fortunately, gun holster design and technology has continued to evolve and improve over the past decades to offer truly high-performance holsters.
A good holster should serve to protect your gun but also offer an easy and uninterrupted draw. Gun holsters typically come in three different styles: IWB, OWB, and paddle-style. Just like magazine pouches, IWB and OWB gun holsters possess their own unique advantages and disadvantages.
IWB gun holsters are optimal for concealed carry as they effectively cover the majority of the gun. OWB can still be covered by a long shirt or a jacket. OWB can also offer a faster and less obstructed draw if you are not comfortable with the IWB carry style.
The third option, the paddle-style holster, is designed to be carried as comfortably and securely as possible. This type of holster has a small plate that rests between your body and the actual holster when clipped onto your belt. The paddle contours to your form, ensuring extra security and a super comfortable carry experience.
A paddle holster employs elements from both the IWB and OWB holster styles. The part of the holster that actually holds the gun resides outside the waistband, while the paddle is inside.
Gun holsters also are made using a variety of materials, but three are more prevalent than the rest: Leather, nylon-polymer, and Kydex. There is some debate as to which material is the best.
Leather is the classic holster material that grew in popularity during the 1800s when more civilians began carrying personal sidearms. Leather offers an incredibly quick draw, but it does little to protect the gun from the elements and impacts of any sort. Some leather holsters can also have poor retention as well.
Nylon holsters feature many of the same issues as leather holsters. They simply do not provide the safest possible carry experience. What can be said for nylon is that drawing becomes dead silent. However, both leather and nylon are inferior to a Kydex holster.
Not only is Kydex resistant to blunt trauma, inclement weather, and corrosive chemical agents, but it’s also a very high-performance holster type.
Kydex holsters offer positive retention that nylon and leather holsters do not always possess. Also, retention in Kydex holsters is completely adjustable. Kydex is rigid, meaning it will keep your gun secure and in place at all times. The constant shape also makes reholstering easy every time. The best Kydex designs are also slim and compact, making them the best examples of a good holster.
