This is a very innovative product. It helps to conceal an extra magazine in your pocket while still keeping it easily accessible. It’s designed to look as thought you are carrying a pocket knife and not an extra magazine. The pocket clip is nice and strong but not
strong enough to hold it while you draw your magazine. However, there’s a barb that protrudes off the back of it that is meant to catch on the back corner of your pocket. I wore this with many different pants and shorts to give it a good all around test. It even worked with sweat pants and a pair of basketball short that had pockets. It would seem that as long as your pocket is big enough for a magazine, it’ll work. Even if your pocket is a little too small you could cant it a little as the pocket clip does rotate. You’re meant to carry it on your weak hand side, towards the back of your front pants pocket. You can also carry it in your waistband if you’d prefer. Playing with it I figured out that you can also carry it towards the front of your pocket if you want. If that’s the case though you need to buy one that's meant to be carried on your firing side so that the barb will catch your pants. Loaded with a PF9 magazine and 7 rounds of self-defense ammo this holster does its job. The only complaint I have is that this one was made to hold a magazine for a Kel-tec PF9, Ruger LC9, or Beretta Nano. Since it was made specifically for the PF9 it has a little extra length to accommodate the others that is wasted space with the magazine I have. Perhaps a little time with a heat gun and a dremel could fix that. Overall it is a great product and I would recommend it to anyone. They don’t have one for every pistol though so go to their website and see if they have yours.
