Carrying a backup magazine is all about preparedness. While the likelihood of actually needing a backup magazine is small, it’s better to have one and not need it than to need one and not have it. Having a backup magazine is much like having a spare tire for your vehicle.
Imagine finding yourself in a situation where your primary magazine runs dry or malfunctions during a critical moment. Having that backup magazine readily accessible can mean the difference between life and death. Just as with holsters, you have many options for carrying a backup magazine.
I had been looking for a comfortable and convenient way to carry a backup magazine that provided quick and easy access when working out in the hot summer weather. When I came across the new Universal Fit Cloud (UFC™) Ammo & Accessory Carrier from Galco® Holsters, it seemed like exactly what I needed, so I arranged to have one sent out. I wasn’t disappointed.
Galco Universal Fit Cloud Ammo & Accessory Carrier
The UFC is a versatile and economical solution for carrying spare ammunition and everyday carry (EDC) accessories inside the waistband (IWB). It was designed with comfort and convenience in mind and is suitable for carrying both single and double stack pistol magazines and revolver speed strips.
The UFC is constructed from ballistic nylon with closed-cell foam padding and backed with Galco Comfort Cloth™, an Adaptive Performance Mesh™. The edges are bound to prevent fraying and elevate the overall aesthetic. It has a sturdy spring steel belt clip that fits belts up to 1.75”.
Comfort Cloth™ technology is the same technology used in Galco’s highly successful line of high-performance Cloud™ IWB holsters, FasTrax PAC™ and the MyCloud™ IWB accessory, It provides padding, wicks away moisture and encourages airflow for faster evaporation of moisture. It makes a significant difference in performance, especially in hot and humid weather..
The adaptive performance mesh conforms to the wearer’s body, enhancing comfort during extended periods of wear. This combination of materials ensures a comfortable fit inside the waistband, making it ideal for everyday carry, while also retaining a slim profile for easy concealment. The high-backed design of the UFC also provides protection to the contents from sweat.
The UFC excels in providing a secure and comfortable way to carry additional ammo and everyday carry (EDC) items. The carrier us ambidextrous and measures approximately 5.5” high and 3” wide. It accommodates most pistol magazines, revolver ammo in a Galco E-Z Loader™ (speed strip), folding knives, compact flashlights, compact tourniquets, and other EDC items. It’s truly universal and is very versatile.
Performance
When carrying a backup magazine, it’s crucial to ensure that it’s secure and consistently placed in the same location each time you carry concealed. A backup magazine can often be hidden in locations that don’t print. Vertical positioning of the backup magazine will make it easier to conceal and access during a reload. It will also allow you to carry a backup magazine with a higher capacity than your primary magazine (the one in your pistol). The spring steel belt clip on the UFC allows for on easy off the UFC and provides flexibility in placement along the belt line. The belt clip is robust and provides a secure attachment, preventing the carrier from shifting. Comfort is also essential to consider. The Comfort Cloth™ backing and padding keep the UFC r comfortable even during long periods of wear.
The UFC is built to last. The materials and workmanship on the UFC are exceptional, as expected from Galco. The stitching is consistent and even, indicating careful construction, which contributes to durability and overall appearance.
