The Steel Single Stack 9mm Short fits most single stack steel magazines, such as those used in the Kimber Micro-9 and Sig P938.
Retention is intentionally set fairly tight on all MagClams, and typically loosens slightly over the first month of use. It is also easily adjustable by replacing the shock cord side laces. We have extra 4mm shock cord available. Switching to 1/8″ shock cord will also lighten the retention.
Choosing a Short or Tall MagClam
The Short MagClams ride higher on the belt, making the magazine more accessible, but typically less comfortable and concealable. The Tall carriers ride lower on the belt. This makes them more concealable and comfortable, but the Short carriers may be slightly easier to draw from quickly. When in doubt, we recommend the Tall MagClam.
You may prefer a Short MagClam if you:
-Carry behind the hip
-Carry appendix, and don’t have a beer belly
-Want easier access to the magazine
You will likely prefer a Tall MagClam if you:
-Carry appendix
-Don’t have washboard abs
-Want a carrier that is more comfortable and concealable
Dummy Cord All The Things!
Like all MagClams, the Steel Single Stack 9mm Short comes equipped with a dummy cord retention system. Using the dummy cord loop, the MagClam is easy to secure anywhere along the belt. Mounting points, such as key rings, are also easy to add to the insides of vehicles and purses, and use with the dummy cord. The loop size all MagClams come equipped with is for a 1.5″ belt. If you wear a 1.75″ belt, however, you will need a larger dummy cord loop.
Using a dummy cord, the MagClam ALWAYS:
-Is exactly where you need it
-Moves with your body, comfortably
-Will release the magazine and stay secured to its mounting point during reloads
This MagClam does NOT include a tie down point on the bottom.
Please Note:
This MagClam will NOT fit polymer single stack magazines, such as those used in the Glock 43X/48. It will also not fit steel single stack magazines that do not have flush sides, such as the Walther PPS M2. Magazines that are not true single stacks (such as the Smith and Wesson Shield 9mm) will also not fit in this MagClam.
