Description
The DeSantis A01 is a two-magazine leather carrier built for folks who want spare rounds on the belt without the bulk of a big plastic rig. It's made from black unlined cowhide, fits double-stack Glock 17, 19, 22, and 23 magazines, and rides on any belt up to 1 3/4 inches wide. A snap-to-the-belt loop means you can add it or pull it off without unthreading your whole belt, which is a small thing that ends up mattering a lot on a busy morning.
What Sets the A01 Double Mag Pouch Apart
The design keeps things simple and low profile, and that's the point. It carries flat against the body, so it disappears under a jacket or untucked shirt better than the chunkier pouches from a lot of the bigger names. Each magazine slot gets its own tension screw, so you can crank one down tight and leave the other looser, or set both for a quick, clean draw. Leather has a nice habit of breaking in over time too, so the pull tends to smooth out the more you wear it.
Running the DeSantis A01 Vertical or Horizontal
Because it's ambidextrous and reversible, you decide how it rides. Set it vertical for a traditional look, or run it horizontal in the small of the back or on the strong side for a flatter profile. Right-handed or left-handed, the pouch works the same either way, which makes it an easy pick if you swap carry positions depending on the day or the outfit.
Longtime carriers tend to reach for leather because it wears well against the belt and body, and this one earns steady marks for build quality and value against pricier Galco, Bianchi, and Safariland options. If you shoot a Glock and want a durable, no-nonsense way to keep two backups within reach, the A01 gets the job done and looks sharp doing it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which magazines does the DeSantis A01 double mag pouch fit?
This A01 is set up for double-stack Glock 17, 19, 22, and 23 magazines, covering both 9mm and .40 S&W. Since it's built around that mag profile, it also plays nicely with a range of similar double-stack Glock mags. If you run a subcompact or single-stack, check the fit before ordering since DeSantis makes separate versions for those.
Can I wear the pouch horizontally or vertically?
Yes, the A01 is designed to run either way. You can set it vertical for a classic look or turn it horizontal for a flatter carry in the small of the back or on your strong side. It's also fully ambidextrous, so it works the same for right-handed and left-handed carry.
What size belt does the DeSantis double mag pouch fit?
The snap-on belt loop accommodates belts up to 1 3/4 inches wide, which covers most standard gun belts and everyday carry belts. The snap design lets you add or remove the pouch without pulling your belt out of the loops, so swapping it on and off is quick.
Is the leather stiff out of the box?
Leather pouches tend to start out firm and loosen up as they break in, and this one is no different. The dual tension screws let you set retention right away, and the draw usually smooths out the more you carry it. Many folks prefer leather for exactly this reason, since it wears in comfortably against the belt and body over time.
