Thank you OhShoot for the reply, I had previoulsy seen pictures of all the models you printed above but thank you anyways. I think that the more I think about it I am gonna just buy the Safariland velcro version. I dont really like how on the Galco Holster the magazine sticks out and is uncovered. All the other ones seem to be too bulky for me. thanks again
My pleasure. I think you'll like it fine, since I do, and I'm pretty persnickety about gear.
I worked the XD boot/spacer thing on the 16 rounder slightly down into the mouth of the carrier to get plenty of grab on the end and all has been well. Been wearing it about a month, can take it off or just leave it on for next day if wearing same pants. Pretty quick deployment of the mag.
Velcro holds very well so far, both the belt part and the mag part. Fits up to 1.75 belt and I have one (but don't wear it all the time) and on it, even though there's less "grab room" on the velcro it still is secure. Can actually slide it back and forth between belt loops once it's on to tune to sweet spot. It
is leather, btw, thin leather.
And yeah, I just ordered another one for the future, just in case! Since I don't think I'll ever find anything better.
CopsPlus, btw, is probably as good as anywhere, 16.80 (6.92 shipping, though, about average I guess). The drop down selector just shows "Springfield XD 40" but of course it's fine for 9mm also.
best,
