Every now and then you run across a piece of gear that really knocks your socks off. Something that’s just perfect. That happens to me less and less these days.
So there I was a couple of weeks ago hanging around at one of Tom Givens’ classes with my friend and peer WT Aprill, when he let me try out the Desbiens Reverse Cant (RC) magazine pouch. After working with it for a few hours I knew I had to have a few.
Desbiens Gun Leather is s small company run by Rhome and Belen Desbiens who are SUPER nice folks with old world personable customer service. I called them up after working with William’s pouch over the weekend and ordered one mag pouch each for a Glock, a 1911, and an M&P.
The RC mag pouch essentially positions a spare magazine at an extreme rearward angle and is designed to be worn just off centerline. This works well for positioning gear forward of the hip points to optimize access for confined spaces, entaglement, and economy of motion. Here it is working with a Garrity Invictus, and one of my knives, a Clinch Pick. Nothing get’s in the way of anything else.
For reloading off your back such as fending with an open guard or reloading in the bucket seats of a small vehicle, I haven’t seen anything that comes close to this product.
And from a regular standing untangled reload, this pouch is extremely fast. It’s like a competition pouch optimized for concealed carry. Hand placement is perfect.
Guys this is an outstanding product and for me personally it’s an essential. Plus the Desbiens are REALLY great people to deal with.
Hey Southnarc, i met Rhome at a training session we were giving in winton and our idpa night shoot. his gear design is awesome and the quality of the work is outstanding. all my leather gear comes from him.
He also signed up for my class in Sacramento in the fall. It’s cool as shit that a holster maker will come out and roll around in the dirt with his gear. I don’t have any of his holsters yet but I have a couple on the way. REALLY like his stuff…
