Description
For anyone running single-stack mags, the MAG2.1 is exactly what you need on your belt. Built from premium American steerhide that 1791 sources directly, this carrier holds two single-stack magazines with the kind of retention that comes from proper leather thickness and smart design. The friction-fit system uses two pieces of sturdy leather double-stitched together, so your mags stay put without getting scratched or damaged.
MAG2.1 fits what you're carrying
Whether you're running .45 ACP 1911 mags, 9mm single-stack rounds, .40, or 10mm, the universal sizing of the MAG2.1 handles them all. It works great with Glock 43 magazines, Shield mags, and anything that uses standard single-stack dimensions. The open-top design means quick access when you need a fresh magazine, and the molded shape keeps both rounds secure against movement.
Built tough for real carry
Ambidextrous carry on either side of the belt, sitting outside the waistband at a natural angle. The steel clip grips belts up to 1.5 inches wide and holds everything stable. At 4.5 inches high by 8 inches long, it's compact enough that you don't feel weighed down but substantial enough to actually do the job. The leather starts out stiff, which is a feature not a bug—it means proper retention from day one, and it breaks in to conform to your body over time.
Signature Brown leather that ages well
Vegetable-dyed brown leather that lives on your belt every day and develops character with use. Unlike some carriers that feel flimsy or cheap, this one has real weight and durability built in. Fourth-generation leather artisans hand-craft each carrier individually, and it shows in the stitching and finish. The whole setup is backed by 1791's lifetime warranty, meaning this will outlast most of the guns you carry with it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the MAG2.1 fit my 1911 magazines?
Yes. The MAG2.1 is designed for standard single-stack magazines, which includes most 1911 single-stack mags in .45 ACP. It also accommodates single-stack 9mm, .40, and 10mm magazines. The universal sizing keeps both magazines secure without scratching them.
How is the MAG2.1 different from the MAG2.2?
The MAG2.1 carries two single-stack magazines, while the MAG2.2 is designed for double-stack magazines. Single-stack guns offer a slimmer profile and easier concealment compared to double-stack options, and the MAG2.1 carrier matches that benefit perfectly for those running single-stack pistols.
Does the leather need any break-in time?
Yes, like all 1791 leather carriers, the MAG2.1 comes fairly stiff to ensure proper retention. Many owners follow 1791's break-in procedure of soaking the carrier briefly in water and allowing it to dry molded to their specific magazines. After break-in, the leather conforms to your body and becomes increasingly comfortable while maintaining retention.
Can I wear this inside the waistband?
The MAG2.1 is designed as an outside waistband (OWB) carrier with belt-slide mounting. It can technically be worn IWB, but 1791 offers dedicated IWB magazine carriers if that's your primary carry method. The OWB design is where this carrier excels for accessibility and comfort.
