After my last range day I'll have to retract my praise for the elastic pistol insert. Since it's just an elastic strap holding the mag, gravity will take the mag all the way down to the bottom of the pocket making it a little harder to get a hold of the magazine for a reload. It's not awful, but I'm reloading from closed-front concealment so I'm already behind the power curve. The cheap BladeTech/Uncle Mikes/whoever double pistol plastic mag pouch, with the paddle replaced by velcro, may actually be the best option here.
