If you have ever wondered how safe from damage magazines were in your back pocket, I did a “test” yesterday. I was carrying two LC9 magazines in a Simply Rugged magazine pouch walking down a wet grassy slope on my way to my son’s karate practice. Big mistake - went down hard on my butt. The magazines don’t even have the slightest hint of damage/bending. I, on the other hand, am sore and managed a light sprain in my arm.
