I like the looks of it, looks like it might stick out a bit? How are you attaching it, MALICE clips? I'm looking for one to mount on a duty belt. Nice design. Well done.
LOL - i was tired of having multiple single pistol mag pouches spread out, so it made sense to me to consolidate them as much as possible, both for space savings and muscle memory. holds four full sized glock mags, and when you're wearing it, it really doesn't feel bulky, and i'm a little fella. you don't have to put four mags in it, it'll hold two as well.
you can mount it on a 2" or 3" duty belt with malice clips.

Roger that, I meant in the color you wanted instead of having to fill a minimum order. Either way point taken.

Doc,
I use Comp-Tac Kydex for CCW and for Match use. And Paraclete Quad shingles for any time I need "a bit more"


Good times,

Blake

NDD, I use a Bladetech holster, but prefer the Sidearmor mag pouches, because they take up less real estate on the belt.

Used a pair of Uncle Mike's Sidekick Professional Double Mag on loan from a buddy while I look for some new ones. They performed well. Good retention and comfortable for all day use, hardly noticed them.

Since Egg is a Glock-a-holic, he has plenty of mags hanging around to do proper sizing.

I'm pretty sure CDS would put a "Made in USA" label on their stuff if you asked!

Not military, but a Glock shooter...

I have a 19 and 22 and I use Blade-tech 2x pouch on my belt. Used the set up at Blackwater back in January of this year and worked like a charm. No problems with the mags falling out when climbing, running. No problems with getting the mags in/out and no problems with the quality...aka didn't fall apart after a full week of abuse.

I got the Tek-Lok versions ^_^

Doc, you are my hero! To meat a fellow "Glock-a-holic" is just a beautiful thing!

I use a Safariland on duty that holds my G34 and the light on the dust cover. Off-duty, I use a BladeTech combo. Though after 6 years of use, the BladeTech stuff is falling apart. I am constantly using super glue to keep it up. I did call BladeTech a few weeks ago and they stated to me to just pack up the items along with $12.00 and they will replace it for free (I guess the $12.00 covers S&H). FWIW

Wow, you must REALLY be into Glocks!

I use the newer SDS 9mm pouches. M9 mags fit easily and USP 45 mags are a snug fit, so I would imagine G17 mags would fit. I like the way they open from the back instead of the front, it seems easier to grasp the mags.

Shotty

Everyone one loves the pistol (who doesn't).

I would have to admit that shooting my instructors Nickel Sig 9mm he got from his service made for an awsome day at the range!

(I dropped my shooting team (I made it to nationals) and took up Trap/Skeet....Remington 870 RULES! )

NDD,
Belt mounted without kit is the Blade-tech. Hands down. Once you add kit things change. Vests or plate carriers obstruct the belt mounted pouch. For that reason I prefer to mount the pistol mag pouch to the vest when using a MOLLE system. Tactical Tailor or Eagle is at the top of the list. If at all possible piggy back the pistol and rifle emergency reload pouch. An example would be the DBT open top single M4 pouch with a pistol/ double pistol Eagle/ TT pouch attached to it. SO-Tech makes an integrated kydex, pistol/ rifle pouch. It is what I run on my kit. I've run it for 3 years and have yet to be disappointed.

Keep in mind all of this is from a guy that only does CQB via ground vehicle delivery. You start falling out of a perfectly good god damn airplanes I’m not responsible for where your shit ends up

Back to belt mounted with out kit: Whether you carry one or four pistol mags stick with the single mag pouches. Just get as many as you need. They conform to the body better than doubles and are far more concealable and comfortable.

Thanks to MM and Ken at Emdom, I've been running the 6o4 for a little while now. I have one mounted on the vest chest on the weak side just above my M4 mags. And I liked it enough that I bought another one for my go bag (picked up a Recon Waist Bag too MM, that Ken is a good salesman). Although the pouch will work on a belt, I chest mounted them after watching kgoerz - the boy is getting fast as a rattlesnake on mag changes from his vest. It makes sense to lighten the load on the belt and not have to worry about covering them up with the bottom edge of the vest.

My concern about it sticking out was unfounded - it's not an issue. One thing I would like to see changed is the fold back retainer - either make it longer so it positively stays or (my preference) put hook and loop on the backside to hold them open. I can stick one of them to the vest, but the label causes the other one to float a bit.

I am having to relearn muscle memory, but I'm working on it. I have had a little problem with the cut out on the mag hanging up on the internal divider - so I will have to learn to pull it differently or cut the divider out - time will tell.

I'll review it all when I've had a chance to see how they wear, it will take a while as I'm not real hard on kit anymore. But at first shot, I think we have a winner here.

The service at Emdom is outstanding. I like the website too - it tells you how many of what they have in stock or if it is backordered.

I'm not a big fan of MALICE clips, but I can live with them in this case. Well done MM and Ken.

BTW, it will hold the PS.com Leatherman with the little accessory bit holder and still have room for 3 mags.

I have to agree with NDD.

MM and Ken hooked me up with one as well, which I used at the recent two-week smoke session I attended.

I ran mine on my belt, and it was great having four high cap mags on the real estate that two normally take up.

My gripes also included stowing the flaps and the wear on the internal dividers. Over several hundred mag changes, they tend to fray just a little bit, and Ken/MM are already working on a solution.

On the positive side again, materials and construction of MM's great design were first rate.

As noted, the personal service from Ken and the info on the web site make doing business with them a breeze.

+1 on the recommendation, a very nice little piece of kit no one else is making (yet).

NDD and TR,
gents, thank you both for the feedback. regarding the elastic divider wearing eventually, i suggested a solution to ken, and i just received the prototype today where the elastic divider is protected by a piece of binding tape that wraps over it and is sewn vertically. it still functions exactly the same and takes care of that issue. i gave him the thumbs up to incorporate that change.

regarding the pull tab which doubles as tab for 'tucking' the flap behind the pouch (or into that piece of webbing behind the mag) - i thought about making it out of velcro entirely, so it engages the velcro behind the flap when tucked there, but then there's the possiblity that it'll stick too well to the front of the pouch, and prevent you from getting a good grip on it when opening the pouch. i've got an idea that i think might work though - i'll bounce it off ken tonight.

thanks again.
