With an OWB, the only type I've ever used be they leather or bolatron or kydex with not one did I go through all this type (over time) dissatisfaction.

Get an OWB, you'll experience fewer problems and greater comfort.

The OP was speaking of mag carriers... those are predominantly OWB. But the issue is clips, regardless of O vs. I WB. (although most OWB holsters use loops or slots which are more durable)

One size does not fit all....

You can stick with kydex but go to a closed loop to avoid clips breaking.

Kydex clips all weaken with time and repeated use... sometimes it takes 500 times clipping it on and off and some last 1000 times. But they all weaken.

I used holsters made by a certain maker with a lifetime warranty however, I buy a new one every 12-18 months because the clips get weak and fail to close completely... He says to send them in when they crack for replacements but it's not worth the risk of use until then... drawing a holstered gun in an emergency could be fatal! Holsters are like shoes... wear them until they wear out and replace as necessary. I've bought 9 holsters from this guy and only ever sent one in for replacement.
