Magazine Sleeve

[rskent]

I have been looking for a magazine sleeve or whatever you would call it. A plastic sleeve that a magazine would slide into to keep it clean and protected in my off-side pocket. No belt clips, or anything that would stick out. Does anyone know of such a thing? I thought I remembered someone making such a thing, but my google Fu is failing me.

The Wilderness Tactical may have something http://www.thewilderness.com/magazine-speedloader-and-ammo-carriers/

A local shoe repair shop could make you one for a few bucks. Simply fold a piece of suede leather over smooth side on the inside and sew the side and bottom. The suede leather the outside will cling to the pocket keeping it from coming out.

Mr. edwardware, looks like your Google Fu is as bad as mine. But thanks anyway.

Plastic will come out with the magazine. I use a Remora magazine pouch, works quite well. It is in my LH back pocket as I type this.

Plastic will come out with the magazine. I use a Remora magazine pouch, woks quite well.

Both of these were my initial thoughts also.

I've been very impressed with the Remora line of products

Plastic will come out with the magazine.

I think that’s what I am looking for. I want it to stay with the magazine. I want to be able to easily put it in or take it out of my pocket which if full of a bunch of other crap.
I just don’t want it so hard to remove the mag from the sleeve that it takes two hands. If I needed it in a hurry the other hand would be holding the empty gun.

When taken in reference to entropy's admonition that it will "come out with the magazine", these two statements are contradictory.

If you want it to stay with the magazine when withdrawn from from the pocket, it will take two hands to remove the magazine from the carrier. What you want is a carrier that will stay in the pocket when you remove the magazine

I guess I will have to keep looking

Your answer was up in Post #6

To take the magazine and pouch out, you just reach down and grab the side of the pouch with the Remora. If you want to take just the magazine out, grab the base of the magazine. How much simpler can it be? A hard plastic magazine carrier that is not attached somehow will come out with the magazine no matter which way you grab it, every time, and you do not want that to happen when you want the magazine for a reload.

Just looking at the pictures, I'm thinking the Sneaky Pete carriers don't look like they would be very easy to free your magazine from

The Sneaky Pete ammo armor looks like it. I was thinking about half as long as the mag, so you could grab the mag and flick the sleeve off with your thumb.
I’ll have to pick up a couple and play around with them. For ten bucks, it’s hard to lose. And way cheaper than making something from scratch.


Thanks for the help guys

Follow up:

Works pretty well. Seems to stay put while I pull the mag out of my pocket and flicks off pretty easy with my thumb. Now if only doesn’t get loose I will be in business.
