X-Carrier – The IWB Mag Carrier from Black Trident
In this article, you'll learn all about our X-Carrier – an inside-the-waistband mag carrier that offers maximum flexibility and discretion. What does "IWB" actually mean? How does the X-Carrier differ from other magazine pouches? And what does the Inner Belt Rugged have to do with it? Read on!
What does IWB mean – and what is the X-Carrier?
"IWB" stands for "Inside the Waistband." This means the magazine holster is worn inside the waistband —hidden beneath clothing. The X-Carrier is our solution for precisely this application.
Unlike combination systems like the Guardian Holster, which combine the pistol and magazine holders, the X-Carrier is completely independent . This allows for maximum flexibility in positioning—for example, at different clockwise positions on the body or in combination with other holster systems like the Viking or Quasimodo .
More compact, flatter, more inconspicuous
What makes the X-Carrier special is its sophisticated design. Instead of two screws, you only need one – saving space and making the carrier significantly slimmer overall.
Mounting is done externally, so the magazine base barely protrudes beyond the trouser edge . The result: a more discreet carrying appearance , especially in concealed use. No conspicuous contours, no distracting transitions – simply functional and discreet.
Well-known Black Trident quality
As with all Black Trident Kydex products, the X-Carrier's draw resistance can be individually adjusted . This allows the system to be optimally adapted to your preferences and setup – whether for training, duty, or EDC.
Conclusion
The X-Carrier is the sophisticated solution for anyone who wants to carry magazines concealed, securely, and flexibly . Holster-independent, sleek in design, and uncompromising in functionality—typical Black Trident.
