Keep your mags in your pistol!

Ok, I figure I might as well offer you a solution that I foud works well. Jackals (Chef) lost a Glock mag last weekend, and at Op: Knights back in May my G19 mag fell out without my knowing (was in my CF issue shoulder holster, I figure it wasn't latched properly) and luckily I found it later.

I searched for a solution and came up with no really decent looking/working ones, then fell upon my solution by accident. I bought a few different sizes of bicycle innertube to use for various airsoft related things and planned to put a section on both my G19s as well for better grip. I roughly measured the length needed (I think the size I used was 14" x 1 3/4" or somewhere around there), added another 1/2" or so that I figured I'd trim off. Anyways, I rolled it on and found the excess overhanging the mag well, then it occured to me that I might be able to use that to hold the mag in. Lo & behold, it works perfectly! To change the mag, simply pull the flap off the mag onto the grip and dump the mag, slap another home then pull the flap well over the end of the mag (at the front if you need to know). If you plan to be using your pistol a fair bit and need mag changes more frequently, keep the flap pulled up over the grip and you can change mags the same as if it wasn't there.

It looks good, makes for a great grip when shooting, and holds the mag in place when you carry it around in whatever holster you use. Beats using tape to hold it in. I'll get pics later if people need.
