I carry my 9c iwb and an iwb mag carrier just sounds uncomfortable and will add another inch to belt. Lose pocket carry works but the mag can move around. Pocket carry for my single stack mags for my kahr cw9 will unload if not in a carrier. How, where, and in what product do you? I was thinking of trying a remora if I decide to go iwb.

I usually carry in a pocket in a Remora magazine carrier. If I have a pair of pants that is large enough, I will carry in the same holster IWB. The Remora is nice so that I have multiple options.
 
I don't carry a mag but I have carried a pocket knife of similar size in my back pocket next to my wallet. It fits real good and is easy to get to.
 
Pocket is often OK, two may fit better than one. But the belt clips that Safariland used to make are great. They are not IWB and put nothing additional inside your belt.
 
I always have an extra mag for my primary. No reload for the second gun. Sometimes I carry on the belt but there is always a spare mag in the jacket pocket. Since I wear the same jacket all the time, it is always there.

Springfield double mag carrier or a simple black leather single mag pouch. Six or Nine o'clock depending on the holster and conspicuousness level I'm willing to deal with. Sometimes I just throw one in my front pocket if I'm making a quick store run. The single mag holster isn't a bother really and most assume I've got a pocket knife in it.
 
I've got my Glock 23 on now in the Glock Sport/Combat holster that is OWB. They also make a single OWB mag pouch for it and sometimes I carry that.
Right now I have a double Fobus mag holder on the off-side. I'm going out at about midnight and am wearing a sweatshirt. You may be wondering why I have 44 rounds of .40 S&W on my person. Well, you see, I watched Die Hard again last night.:eek: 'Nuff said.:D

Yes but Bruce Willis gun holds 100 rounds!:rolleyes:;):eek:
 
Most days, the Shield is my EDC. I've got a Kusiak Leather IWB with the attached mag pouch. It would be tough to get at in a stress situation as it's also on the strong side, but if I have to reload, I'm in a bad corner one way or the other.
 
In one of these:

I have a smartphone pouch by Timbuk2 and it has a sneaky hidden pocket for my spare LCP mag. You'd never know by looking at it. It's a familiar place to retrieve the mag since it is right next to my phone, something I retrieve dozens of times a day. They're available on amazon, they're a great phone pouch if you have a large phone like the Galaxy S3.

I usually strap a magazine to my weak side on my belt for whatever off duty semi auto I'm carrying. However, I always carry a spare mag for my LCP in my left pocket and a speed strip in my watch pocket, regardless of what I'm carrying. Hey, you never know...
