Kahr mag unloading

[fire259]

I don't always CC, but when I do it's Dos Equis. Wait, that's not right. I mean when I CC, I carry my Kahr CW9 IWB. I recently came up with the extra money to buy one spare mag ($40) I have been carrying my spare mag in the fifth pocket, or "watch pocket" of my jeans. It fits just right with about 3/4 inch of the mag sticking out. The problem is, with everyday movement the first one or two rounds in the mag will come out and end up in the bottom of the pocket. After that none of the others come out. Has anyone else had this kind of issue with single stack magazines? All of my other handguns are double stacked mags and I have never had any issues with them. Is a proper mag holster the only solution?

I carry a PM9 and once tried to carry a spare mag in my pocket, and like yours it managed to empty itself. I now carry the extra mag in a mag holster where it is protected and the rounds stay where they are supposed to.

I carry my mag same way and have never had any problem with rounds coming out. CW-40, pretty handy way to carry mag.

I've had that happen with spare mags in my K9. Do yourself a favor and just get a proper mag carrier.

 

[Bob45]

Mine does that too. Does anyone make a leather pouch mag holder for carry in the pocket, or would that even help?

 

[mbaza3]

They are not leather but check out the Remora magazine holders. They are made out of the same material as the holsters.

You would think it would be harder for the first couple of rounds to fall out because there under more pressure from the mag spring I had a k40 and never had a mag unload on me in my pocket

When I had a CW-40, my spare mag would drop a round every once in a while also. I carried it in my weak-side front pocket.

I REALLY wish someone would make a little kydex mag keeper type thing that'd fit on the end of a mag; something very similar to the Raven Concealment System's Vanguard trigger guard "holster" Vanguard Trigger Guard Holster

When I carry a spare for my PM9 in a front pocket, I will occasionally lose a round, I suspect because it moves around in the pocket. If I put it in a carrier or in my back pocket, no such problems.

I have the same problem and I think it is due to the aggressive feed angle of the top round (pm9). I am looking for a single stack mag holder since all of mine are double stack.

 

[ArmedProgrammer]

Had a similar problem. That said - wouldn't trade the Kahr for any of its competitors.

I am very impressed with the Kahrs myself.

I really like the DM Bullard pocket mag holder for my CW9. Had it for about 2 years now. They also have belt mag holders.

I have a DeSantis MagPacker that also prevents the top round from being stripped off. I used to have another mag holster that would occasionally catch and strip the top round; it was partially leather and was tighter-fitting, but I don't remember the brand.
