The head honcho at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.extracarry.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ExtraCarry<\/a> got in touch and asked if I wanted to give their concealed pocket mag pouch a spin.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m always interested in new means of carry and also helping small companies get the word out about good products. I asked for a P365 variant and promptly received one.

First, it uses an enclosed pouch at the bottom. Unlike other designs, the ExtraCarry is an actual pouch. The bottom is enclosed, and that protects the rounds and feed lips from all the junk and gunk floating around in your pocket.

I don\u2019t pack the spare mag on runs and when working out. Other than that, carrying a spare magazine has become part of my daily carry. The ExtraCarry makes it convenient and easy to slap it on and go about my day. You mostly surrender that pocket to the ExtraCarry, but that\u2019s not a big deal to me.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_531975\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-531975\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-531975\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-700x333.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-768x366.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-1536x731.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-2048x975.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-150x71.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-696x331.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-1068x509.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-1920x914.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-882x420.jpg 882w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-560x267.jpg 560w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-700x333.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-531975\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-700x333.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-700x333.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-768x366.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-1536x731.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-2048x975.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-150x71.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-696x331.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-1068x509.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-1920x914.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-882x420.jpg 882w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0921221854a-560x267.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-531975\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It drops right in without issue (Travis Pike for TTAG)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The ExtraCarry packs the SIG P365 mag without complaint.
