Similar Holster for Rohrbaugh?

(1/2) > >>

Wanderer:
Does anyone happen to know of anyone selling something similar for the Rohrbaugh?    I've been looking for holsters that have a spare magazine pocket,  but I haven't had much luck so far.

This is my Seecamp holster

Well, now I am going to offer an opinion you didn't ask for...  ;)

Keeping your spare mag in your strong side pocket (with your gun) is awkward.  In the event of a reload, you need to transfer the gun to your weak hand, fish out the magazine, and either load in that manner or swap things around in your hands again. 

That being said, an awkward magazine is better than no magazine, but just be sure you have given some thought to how to deploy it.

I'm sure you have already thought of this, and if so just tell me to mind my own business!

I agree with you, Duane. Carrying a separate magazine in the weak side is much more efficient should the need for a reload occur. I have always carried a spare magazine in a Hedley magazine holster.

Wanderer:
That is a good point,   my thoughts and considerations are as follows,  note I am not that practiced at mag changes using the european style on the Seacamp or the Rohrbaugh.  I have a lot of practice to do before I will feel proficient at these mag changes.   Ideally I will have 3 magazines,  if I can find another one.  so one would be on weak side.

I figure that if you are firing either of these you are within 20 feet.  So you have 7 shots to hit the target and break contact to get to cover. 
I can shoot with either hand although I prefer dominate hand

I'm also bad about picking up everything so having a spare with the gun at least means I have a spare,  for those times I can't
 figure out where I put the other one.

I'll probably end up getting a pocket carry holster and an inside the waistband holster.   And maybe even one of those sneaky pete's but I'm on the fence on those.  I like to have options depending on what i'm doing.   A lot of time I end up carrying a loose magazine or two in my pockets but that didn't seem like a good idea with the Seecamp and i'm guessing for Rohrbaugh as well.

Just my opinion:  “Loose” mags in a pocket are at risk for picking up lint and other detritus that would not be welcome….a mag holster, even in a pocket, would be preferred I would think. 

I have owned R9’s and LWS 32’s for years.  Although I usually carry an extra mag, I don’t foresee a likely combat reload, specifically because those particular firearms are belly guns used at very close ranges.  If the 7 rounds loaded are ineffective at that range, the proximity of the assailant makes a reload unlikely especially with the heel mounted mag release.  A “New York reload” would certainly be a better option. 

If the distance is greater, the likelihood of an effective shot goes WAY down making a strategic withdrawal a very valid option.  When I think I may be put in a situation requiring aimed fire at 15 or more yards, I usually carry a P365 with a 12+1 mage and a 15 round spare.  A good knife may be the other strong consideration for a CQB “reload”.
