As I already have QVO Tactical’s More Discreet AIWB holster, I wanted to try/experiment with a side car holster and I saw that QVO has what’s called a Flex Connector, which is a side car attachment.
My More Discreet holster is green carbon-fiber. I wanted the side care to match, so I ordered it as green carbon-fiber too. They didn’t sell the flex connector in carbon-fiber, though, and I didn’t trust that their green coloring option would match well with the carbon-fiber, so I ordered the flex connector in black.
Here’s the holster with the Flex Connector attached:
This required that one of the clips be removed so that the Flex Connector could be attached to that area. The removed clip then connects to the side car.
The mag holder’s cant can be adjusted to a lesser degree, as well.
What does this mean for me? It means I can carry a spare mag without having to carry it in a cargo pocket or weird position on my belt. As well, if the spare mag is under my shirt, it’s less of a problem where someone might see that I may be carrying a gun or something weird.
Now, I’m not going to lie…the whole thing is somewhat beefy and it feels beefy when it’s on my belt. It may take a while to get used to, but it still tucks in very well, as I’m still using a wedge on the main portion of the holster and the claw is still present.
I had to order more SD ammo since I’m now carrying two mags’ worth!
If I end up not liking the side car, I can always remove it – that’s simple enough of a process.
I’m quite excited about this change-up. I’ll let you know if I run into any issues.
UPDATE (5/18/2025): I decided to remove the Flex Connector from the holster, as I found that it made the whole holster system bulky enough to impede concealability. Without the FC, it conceals nicely. With the FC, it makes my lower abdomen protrude too much…all for the sake of a mag holster. I’m better off carrying a mag in my pocket again, but I think I’m going to try a NeoMag, which was recommended by a fellow r/2011 member.
