Overview

Built for carrying a spare magazine in a simple, accessible setup, this carrier uses an open-top design that keeps reloads within easy reach. It is made from certified American Heavy Native Steerhide and relies on the natural friction of finely stitched leather, along with custom wet molding, for retention without added devices. The fit is specified for single stack .40 and .45 magazines, making it a practical choice for shooters who want a straightforward leather carrier with a classic brown finish.

  • Designed for single stack .40 and .45 magazines, so it is not a universal carrier for other magazine types.
  • The open-top design favors quick access, but it does not include an additional retention device.
  • Leather construction and wet molding provide friction-based retention, which may require a proper fit to the intended magazine profile.
  • As a single magazine carrier, it is a compact carry option rather than a higher-capacity solution.
