I am working with a new carry setup. I normally wear my IWB at about the 4 o’clock position due to concealment issues as well as being able to reach behind with my weak hand and draw should my strong hand become injured for any reason.
I normally carry my extra mags on my left side, which I will probably continue to do. I have been playing with keeping a single mag at the 3 0’clock position in front of my gun in the event that I would need to reholster and reload one handed. I find that if I place the mag further back on my belt, say around 5 0’clock, it messes me up when trying to draw my gun. Another thing is that if I am doing a tactical reload (one handed); taking the mag out of the gun is a bit tricky with the extra mag at 5 0’clock. And, if I happen to fall to the ground I don’t like anything on my back. At the 4 0’clock position the gun isn’t really on my back but in a more padded area than carrying further back at 5 or 6 0’clock.
I am still getting used to feeling the extra mag at the 3 0’clock position when reaching for my gun, but it hasn’t really posed any real problems when trying to draw my gun. The one thing that I did like about having the extra mag at 5 0’clock is that I can just take the mag out of the holder and slide it right into the gun when doing a speed reload.
Has anyone ever tried this setup? If so what are your thoughts on it?
