Fobus 4500NDP Evolution Double Mag Pouch for 1911 & .45 Single-Stack Double Magazine Pouch, Ambidextrous Paddle

I am using the Wilson Combat 8 round single stack magazines in this and they hold awesome. The one and only problem I have had with this holster is a slight discomfort. At the top of the paddle, where the front half is joined with the back half are two protrusions. These dug into my side a little at first, now I don't notice them. Could have been pilot error, but I was more than a little irritated. Since then I have no problems with it. I have not filed them down, like you may be thinking, even though I intended to do so. It is in the same condition as when I recieved it. If you are looking for a 1911 single stack magazine holster, and you want it to be a paddle hoslter, there are not many options. But believe me it's because this holster fills the gap. There isn't a need for more. Get it.

This magazine paddle holster delivers as promised. The materials and construction are of excellent quality. It is rugged, durable, lightweight, and quite comfortable. The magazines are held firmly in place without any risk of falling out yet easily deployable without any dragging, sticking, or snagging. The draw is virtually silent and the matte black finish is non-refelctive which is useful for stealth operations. My Kimber 1911 mags fit perfectly. Be sure to read the description carefully for compatibility. Product shipped faster than estimated despite being shipped from Israel. Customer service was very responsive and helpful via email. Would definitely buy from this seller again!

I have several products that I have purchased from Fobus. It has a great look and feel, not to mention that it works exactly how it is described. This product is designed for single stacked magazines. I have both .45 and 9mm clips that are single stacked and both fit perfectly. The 9mm clips have a little room on the sides, just because the shells are not as long as the .45. Both clips are held snuggly in place by the self-adjusting design. The paddle design is the same as all of their other paddles with the non-slip silicone material. You will be happy with this if you don't want a belt magazine holder.

I ordered this pouch knowing the risk of my 9mm M&P Shield magazines not fitting. I thought, well.. if it doesn't work, I can always return it. So I gave it a shot. The mags fit VERY tight at first. This is indeed a single stack magazine pouch but the magazines for the Shield are just a little bulkier than the average single stack mag. Therefore, I removed the retention screw in the middle completely and they went in a lot better. I believe that there are such mixed reviews about them not fitting because holsters like these are made like how bulk ammo is made in the sense that there's no consistency in terms of size.. I haven't used mine yet at the range and unfortunately I do not shoot competitively so I cannot review it in that aspect BUT I have tried to quickly insert and remove the mags as if I was doing a speed reload and it's not that bad. Due to the soft material on the inside, let's just say it's not your typical Safariland or Blackhawk firearm holster that locks into place. It simply slides inside and is held by the pressure of the retention. Overall, with slight modification in terms of heating up to mold the mags, I give it 4 stars. I honestly can't complain about mine. Some people expect too much for something that costs too little. I'd say this is the perfect holster for occasional range time and even some pistol courses but definitely not competition.

I've never been an huge fan of Fobus holsters but this mag pouch works as well as advertised. The magazines are held securely but can be removed easily, The mag pouch has a thin profile which works well for concealed carry. Best of all, the paddle is comfortable to wear all day and doesn't shift around when I move.

Nice pouch. Clips securely to waist band, smaller than you might think so it's easily concealable (See the not very good pic for size relative to a Shield). Bought this for my S&W Shield 9 mags. They're a little odd, something between a single stack and a true double stack, but they fit fine in this. A little snug initially, but the pouches seem to mold to fit over a few days. Very happy with this pouch.

I have tried numerous different one, and I wish I had found this one first. I would have saved some money. I could not find one that worked well in terms of holding the mags securely (leather or otherwise)..... for thinner single stack mags. This has worked very well, with about every 9mm single stack mag I have put in it. I plan to buy another one and when people have complained about the same issue, recommended this one .... and they have all been very happy with it.

I’m an armed officer and carry a 45 single stack while doing Theatre work. The paddle fits a 2” belt and retention is just right. The back plate has a rubberized backing which helps it cling to duty pants. A decent holster for concealed or duty.
