Flashlight/spare mag carrier

[Littlelebowski]

I searched but didn't find what I was looking for. Looking for a mag carrier that also holds say a Surefire G2 or maybe someone wants to talk me into carrying one of the smaller lights with a clip like the Novatac that Todd has.

To each his own, but I always prefer to have separate individual pouches. Takes up no more space on the Bat Belt and provides greater flexibility.

These days I use an RCS light carrier that's been mated to my double mag pouch. In prior days I carried a dedicated Blade-Tech pouch with the Tek-Lok system on it. Either would do fine for you.

One word of caution: Be careful with your light placement. I have tried to speed reload my pistol with a flashlight more than once using concealment gear....In that respect moving it away from your mags a bit might be helpful.

How many mags are you guys carrying concealed? This would be for my G19.

2 spares most of the time on a doublestack. Sometimes only one, but only when I'm in a "non permissive" environment.

If I'm packing a single stack I carry a minimum of 2 spares.

Muscle memory. You're used to grabbing on a certain location on your belt for your spare. Your brain is focused on what's going on downrange. You've also got a lot of muscle memory drawing your flashlight.

Wires are crossed, sparks fly, and the next thing you know you're watching the flashlight approach the mag well and you're thinking...gee whiz....that isn't right. In fairness when it happened I had already gone through the mags I had on my belt or I had dropped a magazine. Of course, in a real life fight you may end up dropping a magazine. After experiencing that a couple of times I'm now keenly interested in replacing all my M&P floorplates with compact floorplates. I got a bit weary of pulling one mag and both mags coming out.

If the flashlight is in roughly the same location as the magazines your muscles can try to stuff it in the mag well before your brain can figure out that you're doing it wrong. I'm going to start wearing my light behind my hip to avoid a recurrence of that.

I've seen this on more than one occasion with folks wearing a combo pouch...

Here's another one from Comp-Tac. Thought about picking one up, but am going back and forth between this and 2 separate carriers.
