Milt Sparks makes a similar product that works well with a pair of jeans or slacks with deep pockets. The Cross Bread product looks like it would work well in pants that have a more vertical opening that typical jeans pockets.

If I had a smaller carry gun this is certainly something I'd look in to.

I generally carry a Glock 21 mag as backup (for my Glock 30), and I don't know how well this would work with such a large magazine. "Is that a mag in your pocket or are you..."

I carry a full G20 mag in my pocket for my g29. I am always happy :)
Im not worried about it printing, I usually have a knife or light in there with it so the shape is obscured. I wonder if I can carry a light or knife along with that pocket holster shown above.
What do you think @Glock 'em down ?

This is probably not a good pouch for larger/full size mags. It's geared mostly for sub compacts.

Again, the Gideon isn't really advised for full size mags.

I would look at the Milt Sparks pouch and carry it in my left, back pocket.

I've been running Magholder. Love it. Sits horizontally so you don't have to worry about it digging when you sit or lean.

THIS IS SPARTA
So you have a pistol in one front pocket and a mag carrier in the other... where do you put all your other stuff like wallet, keys, pen, change, phone, etc.?

Cool that it works for you, but it wouldn't for me. I carry too much stuff in front pockets.

When I do pocket carry with a subcompact, I just put the spare mag in my back left pocket, bullet tips down and to the left. It rarely ever moves from this configuration, and part of my reload manual of arms is using my index finger to feel for the bullet tip, so if it's facing the wrong way I can quickly flip it as I'm drawing it out. Lint isn't a big problem since nothing else ever goes in that pocket... I would tend to think it would be worse in a front pocket, even in a pouch. I know my pocket gun accumulates plenty even in it's Super Fly.

Which brings up another point... you do regularly inspect your carry gun/mag and clean them if necessary, right? I've seen a lot of nasty-ass rusty, lint-y, dirty carry guns.

When I'm in normal street clothes I carry a full size double stack, and like the mag carrier the Glock store sells for my spare, worn IWB.
