IWB and OWB Magazine Holsters
IWB Mag Carriers for Concealed Carry
An IWB mag carrier sits inside the waistband, with its attachment clip securing it to the belt. Compare the carrier’s backer, clip, and the waistband space occupied by the carrier and magazine. The Single Cloak Mag Carrier includes a removable neoprene backer and a tuckable IWB clip for this configuration.
OWB Mag Carriers
An OWB mag carrier sits outside the waistband. Check the attachment type and belt-width requirements before choosing a carrier. The Double Cloak system’s joined two-magazine configuration uses an OWB paddle or belt-slide attachment.
Match Magazine Stack Size and Caliber
Magazine stack size and the number of magazines a carrier holds are separate choices. A single mag carrier can hold a double-stack magazine when you select the corresponding size.
The Single Cloak, Double Cloak, and Single Mag Carrier offer single-stack and double-stack size options in 9mm/.40 caliber and .45 ACP/10mm. The PHOTON Mag Carrier offers single-stack and double-stack options in 9mm/.40 caliber.
When choosing a 9mm magazine holder, match the magazine’s body size as well as its caliber. Select the appropriate size category and confirm compatibility with your particular magazine, including any aftermarket version.
Cloak mag carriers use adjustable retention to control how firmly the carrier holds the magazine. Follow the product’s user guide for retention and cant adjustments.
Magazine Carrier Sizing for Glock Magazines
Glock 19 magazines use the double-stack carrier size, including 10-round versions with the standard magazine body. Alien Gear’s magazine sizing guidance also places Glock 43X/48, SIG P365, and Springfield Hellcat magazines in the double-stack size category. Confirm your specific magazine and carrier model before ordering.
PHOTON Holster and Mag Carrier Compatibility
The PHOTON Mag Carrier can function as a separate carrier or connect to a compatible PHOTON holster using the sidecar attachment. Choose the sidecar configuration if you want the pistol holster and magazine carrier connected, and check both product listings for their included components.
