Depends on the purpose. I primarily CCW IWB with a Blackhawk flap mag holder support side, cheap and simple, works with any mag, looks like a cell or knife holder, comfortable OWB and works well basically hidden in plain sight with a T-shirt covering it. When I'm carrying light, with a single stack pistol in a pocket holster, I just tuck a spare mag in the small watch pocket of my jeans. If I'm OC ing or carrying at the range or for competition I like the Bladetech carriers, open top, adjustable retension and fast to load from.
Good answer.
What's the mag holder for, CCW, competition, OC, range trips, etc?
General purpose, Alucards suggestion is spot on. Kydex; Bladetech, Comptac, SafariLand, etc.

One reason I like bladetech better is the flared opening, making it easier to stow mags, they also can be had with tek-loks for the same price as belt loops, other brands charge more to add a tek lok "kit" if they offer it at all. For those unfamiliar, squeeze the 2 tabs at the bottom together to open or close the tek-lok, it's hinged at the top, so really easy to clip onto a belt without taking the belt off, and far more secure and stable than clips. Works awesome for changing out carriers for different courses of fire, especially for 3 gun where you may need to swap multiple single and double rifle and pistol mag holders quick in between stages. They have lots of mounting holes to change angle or height.

Agreed, I've got a couple of them, but felt they were still a little too bulky for ccw and not easy to get on/off while wearing your rig. I'm not a fan.
Ideally, simply, slick, one piece of kydex with a belt loop. I rarely actually carry an extra mag on the belt unless I'm qualifying or shooting in a comp that requires it.

First seen, I like it. Plus you could probably use it for a flashlight or other item.

Get one that actually slides on or clips closed on your belt. One with an open clip with just a barb under it to catch your belt when drawing it, is too risky. Nothing like doing a reload and coming up with a handful of mag pouch.
I have been using 2 Galco mag pouches for nearly 15 years now. I like these Galco "concealable" models because they ride high on the belt. Just for the times I may just wear a shorter t shirt and they don't show under.
They are closed loop and are not coming off the belt during a draw. Also the leather is comfier and pliable. Like the picture shows, you can wear it in reverse, behind your belt for closer, tighter concealment. For this purpose, the leather makes it much more comfortable as well.
I prefer using 2 single mag pouches (when I want to carry 2 mags), so that I can separate them farther apart in order to have better concealment around the contour of my sides.
A double mag pouch is wider and gets heavier (top heavy) and is more prone to printing at the top.
I use these for a P229 in 357Sig. (.40 cal size mags)
