The author sets out to determine if the mag holster lives up to the companys reputation.
Crossbreed Holsters provided the carrier to the author for review.
Over the years, Ive used a number of magazine carriers and pouches for off-duty use.
Designed for concealed carry, the Crossbreed Confidant Multi-Fit Mag Carrier 2.0 allows you to keep a spare magazine on your belt should you ever need it. Image: Crossbreed Holsters
There were a couple that slipped inside a pocket that protected the magazine and the bullets inside.
Others attached to the belt.
Some were constructed of polymer, others of nylon, and the rest were leather.
Part of the author’s testing included reload training using magazines carried in the Crossbreed magazine holster. Image: Owen Wagner
I am sure many of you are in the same boat.
I still have some of their early holsters and pouches in my possession.
I also had the opportunity to meet Crossbreed founder Mark Craighead around that time.
Crossbreed designed the magazine carrier to work with a variety of magazine sizes. The author used both Springfield Armory 1911 and SA-35 pistols to test the holster.
No manual adjustments are needed; simply insert the single-stack magazine and it automatically accommodates it.
The Confidant 2.0 is obviously the second iteration of the earlier Crossbreed Confidant one size fits many design.
In reading through the literature concerning the 2.0, one thing really jumped out at me.
The Crossbreed mag carrier keeps close to the body, making it easy to discreetly carry under a shirt or other garment. Image: Crossbreed Holsters
On either side is an expansion joint that has four ports or slots.
The magazines are thus held in place by the friction and tension applied through the rubber bands.
In particular, I have been using it with a Nexbelt Supreme Appendix Carry Gunbelt.
The author found the carrier’s belt clip allows the pouch to be adjusted after it is mounted on the belt. A wearer can easily move the Confidant 2.0 to the most comfortable place. Image: Owen Wagner
This has proven a good match considering the relatively thin profile of the Nexbelt.
Of course, it works just as well on thicker leather gunbelts as well.
The belt clip allows the pouch to slide easily once its mounted on the belt.
Not only did the Crossbreed Confidant 2.0 perform well, it has a very affordable price tag that makes it an excellent value.
The price is $34.95 which is a steal.
It may be the only spare magazine pouch you ever need.
The Confidant 2.0 is available in tan or black for carriers that want it to match their other gear.
If you want to carry two magazines, then purchase two and position them together.
This brings me to my final point.
There are many carriers that would like to carry two spare magazines.
I would like to see Crossbreed bring out a double magazine pouch with two Confidant 2.0s linked side-by-side.
