I use this for concealed/off-duty wear with an HK P2000. First thing noticed was that the belt loop attachments are flared open making it stick out from my belt farther than expected. Also, its takes some serious effort to get them broken in, so don't expect to use them effectively right out of the box. I sprayed break-free inside and still had to twist the magazine around inside the carrier before it would let go. I purchased 2 of these thinking that I would be able to conceal both on my 6'1" 220 lb body. After getting them, I realize that its tough enough to conceal one let alone 2. May be possible to conceal both but not likely and definitely not easily. I typically carry my weapon IWB on my strong-side hip. 2 positions on my belt that I found work the best for this carrier: small of back with opening facing non-gun hand; and gun-side front of belt near buckle facing non-gun hand. The latter really is the best. The biggest advantage of this carrier is that it allows operator to sit comfortably in a vehicle for long trips. Not my favorite way to carry an extra mag but it does give me another option.
