Description
The Safariland Model 079 is a dependable, patented double magazine holder designed for everyday carry and duty use. Built from rugged Safari-Laminate polymer, it holds two magazines securely in place while keeping them close to your body for maximum concealment. The design is compact but tough enough to handle daily use without breaking down.
What sets the 079 apart is the adjustable tensioning device that lets you dial in exactly how much resistance you want when drawing magazines. This means you can customize the retention to match your preference, whether you prioritize speed or security. The low-cut design makes grabbing magazines quick and easy, even in an emergency. Unlike the competition-focused Model 076, the 079 features a two-strap belt loop for solid, stable mounting.
Works with belts up to 1.75 inches wide and fits Glock 17, 19, 22, and 23 magazines, plus many other popular platform magazines depending on configuration. It's ambidextrous, so left or right hand users can carry it either way. The straightforward snap-on attachment means no tools needed – just slide it onto your belt and you're set.
