I bought a new holster and mag holder…
I bought a new holster and mag holder for my FN Reflex XL. While I’m extremely satisfied with the OWB paddle holster I’m not so satisfied with the mag holder. I called in and voiced my concerns but I feel that my concern may not have been fully understood, as the issue is not with knowing how to properly adjust or use a magazine holder. My concern is that the holder itself does not appear to be long enough, resulting in very little surface area for the magazine to sit securely within the carrier. I attempted to adjust the retention, but while retention changes the tightness of the fit, it does not change the overall length or depth of the holder, which is what I believe is contributing to the issue. Cristin mentioned that the mag holder is custom-fit to the firearm, but I am struggling to understand that explanation given the similarities between these magazines. The FN Reflex XL magazine is a fairly standard double-stack magazine and is very similar in overall dimensions to the magazines for my Canik METE MC9L. For comparison, I previously purchased a mag holder for my Canik magazines, and that holder was longer in length, allowing the magazine to seat deeper and feel significantly more secure. When I tested my FN magazines in the Canik mag holder, they fit noticeably better and felt more stable despite the magazines being extremely similar in size and thickness. Because of this, I am having difficulty understanding why two magazines with such comparable dimensions would require mag holders with such noticeably different lengths and fitment characteristics.
