Who uses one? I'd like to carry a concealable backup mag when I carry my G27. I'm leaning towards IWB however I'm running out of room "inside the waistband". What are the preferred mag carriers you guys are using? IWB? OWB? Anybody using a horizontal mag carrier?
I like the Glock brand mag carriers for OWB, I've yet to find anything better for belt carry.
I dont like IWB, but I do like Snagmag pocket holsters. Kinda flimsy looking for the price but I've had one for my G17 mag in my pocket daily for a few months and it's no worse for the wear.
I recently started using a single kydex carrier I got off Ebay for 18 bucks. Works well. It's worn vertically with a clip and can be either IWB or OWB.
Safariland 123. $11.09! Horizontal OWB, conceals well, no poking, can hardly tell it's there. You can orient the mag bullets up or down. I've never had a problem with the Velcro not holding securely.
This fits Glock G17 mags but it will work fine with G26 mags. There are others that may be smaller that would work too. Mine works with every magazine I have, HK, M&P, Glock, Walther P99.
I never carry a spare mag with an EDC weapon, since I don't live in the Middle East or Detroit. Real-life examples of an armed citizen in the USA needing a magazine reload in a real self-defense confrontation are essentially nonexistent. So...that gets rid of a useless pacifier on the belt.

"Essentially". Odds that YOU will ever need the gun at all are essentially nonexistent too. "Essentially nonexistent" is a fancy term for low but non-zero.
Two is one and one is none. Semi-autos jam. It's faster to clear some malfunctions with a spare mag. Did you not know that?
So what gun do you carry, how many rounds? If more than 6, why so many? Anything more than 2 or 3 (the average shooting) is nothing more than a useless pacifier, right?

With my G27 I carry an extra 15 round mag OWB.
When carrying in Kydex I use a BladeTech with Tek-Lok. Leather I use an El Paso Saddlery with snap loop.
The Blade Tech is a little bulky, but really like the Tek-Lok attachment, and the El Paso is quite slim and comfortable.
Because of its ultra minimalist yet functional design, the Kytexgear mag carrier is the only one I use. I have one at 9:00 on the belt all day, everyday under a t-shirt.

Im slightly confused by your post, as the "baby glock" is a G26- per Glock...
that being said, horizontal mag carriers are great for uniformed work, but I don't think that a double mag horizontal is great for concealability...
1st, CCW is an art and it varies from person to person... next I CCW a G29 and carry at least 2 15rd back ups..
I overall use the blackhawk single mag holders and just add them as needed.... I have also dropped a high cap mag in my back or off pocket, or used CCW pants that have mag holder built in. I also may carry back up mags "off body" in a bag
^^^ For most people, the G26/G27/G33 family are the "baby glocks." Kind of a misnomer anyway as the G42 and G43 has come out after the term became popular.
For OWB I use Raven Concealment. IWB I use a Dale Fricke one. But I never carry another short mag. If I'm carrying the G26, I carry a spare 17 round magazine. If I need to reload, I probably need as many rounds as I can reasonably carry in a spare.
Cry havoc gear iwb mag carrier but I carry a glock 17 magazine it will fit a glock 26 magazine though.
