It was very “grey man” and worked great for years, but eventually the velcro wore out.
In search of the better mouse trap, I tried the magnetic clip on route thinking I would be quicker if I didn’t have to lift the now worn out velcro flap:
I have a couple of these for a few different models, they can be bulky and tie up a pocket but they are durable because most of these I have had for 5 years.
I’m using NeoMag Holder, the magnetic one you didn’t like.
I’m my case it the best concealment and fastest access to spare mag.
It requires a little adjustment how the mag is grabbed from the packet, comparing to regular holders, but still this one is the most convenient for me.
My spare mag rides next to my wallet in the pocket on my left butt cheek positioned exactly how I want it for a fast grab and reload. Been doing this for years and practice all the time with this setup. Works great and stays in place very well.
I have one of those for my 9mm (only carry occasionally). Although it works well to protect the magazine, it takes two hands to get the mag out. This is why I am happy with the Galco pocket magazine holster as a non belt option.
