Griffon Industries Pistol Magazine Holster Review

Here is an item that I’ve been meaning to spend some time reviewing. The kydex magazine holder from Griffon Industries. 

 

This holster is great. Mine is set up for Glock magazines and I have been using it daily for several months now. It really is everything you could want for an OWB styled holder. There is plenty on tension holding the magazine in so that you don’t have to worry about chasing your mag down the isles at the local grocery store, yet pulls free from the holder with minor effort. I will say that the Glock 27 magazines can be tough to pull out of it every once in awhile, but the Glock 23 mags have proven to pull free reliably even when sweaty.

One thing that I am going to add to this review is that the pancake style belt loops that shipped with my holster can be quite uncomfortable at times. They seemed to dig into my side in certain positions. This was solved by putting the belt loops on the outside of the holster, I’ll have to add some pictures of what that looks like. But, that has solved the issue for both this magazine holder as well as my Griffon Industries kydex holster that I will do a review on later. 

 

A couple of the great things about Griffon Industries as a company. First off they really support our troops, and that in mind is first and foremost. They also are great on shipping. They charge a $5 flat rate for all shipping, and there is little lead time on their orders. I ordered my holster set towards the end of the year 2012, and they arrived same week. Great quality, great service!!!
