Reviews & Ratings for Galco Horizontal Magazine Carrier — 11 reviews — Page 1

I bought this horizontal magazine pouch for my Smith & Wesson 16 round magazine. I’ll be walking along in the magazine falls out of the mag pouch. Zero retention. The retention screw is as tight as it goes. Will not hold the magazine. Does it do me no good if I need the magazine and it’s laying on the ground somewhere.

Fits tight but that is good so the magazine doesn't fall out. Works for me since I often have to sit in my job. The outside finish looks nice. But since I just got it I haven't practiced a lot with it, so if there are later issues I may update this review.

I purchased this for my Glock 26. I carry a Glock 19 Mag as a spare. I was skeptical of the horizontal magazine carriers, but found that it carries comfortably at around 1 o'clock. Concealment is no problem even in t-shirt weather.

quality product I use every day. No complaints.

I was looking for a horizontal magazine carrier for the M&P Shield and took a chance on this one. Knowing to the size of the 45 auto and the size of the Shield magazine, this Galco HMC26 fit perfectly. The break-in was simply massaging the leather which took a minutes. I also have one for my M&P 40c. LOVE IT.
Pros: Low profile and comfortable

Horizontal is the only way to go, much more comfortable.trich3
Pros: Horizontal & Quality
Cons: Price

Very comfortable to wear. Holds Mag secure!
Pros: very comfortable

Must be worn on "strong side" to grab with weak side hand. When pulling to remove magazine from pouch, the Galco horizontal pouch slides forward on my belt slowing the removal of the magazine. I have sent this item back and will reorder a vertical positioned pouch.
Pros: Quality Built
Cons: Slides on belt when removing magazine

I thought I really wanted a horizontal magazine pouch for discrete conceal/carry on my belt. What I leanred is that since I am right-handed, it must be placed on my right hand side (in front of my holstered firearm) and when I go to pull out the magazine, the "mag pouch" slides forward until it hits a belt loop to stop it. As well, it places two things (firearm and mag pouch) all on my right hand side which is heavy... and I wish it was spreasd out. I will return and buy a verticle single mag pouch (fully enclosed with snapping cover) to carry on my left/weak side of my belt... however, I will buy it from Optics Planet as their pricing and shipping is second to none. The Galco Product itself is built first rate, but it's the "sliding" of the pouch on my belt when pulling the magazine out that is the problem for me... which is not safe or takes extra time.
Pros: Quality & Slim Profile
Cons: Slides on Belt When Pulling Magazine Out
