Phantom – Double pistol magazine carrier
Two mags. Silent retention. Rapid presentation.
OVERVIEW
The Phantom – Double pistol magazine carrier is the companion piece to Deadly Customs’ single pistol carrier — engineered for operators who require a compact, dependable dual-mag solution without added bulk or noise. Built on the same Pyolmer retention architecture and bonded two-layer B52 Squadron laminate as the rest of the Phantom family, this double carrier secures a pair of double-stack 9mm (and similar calibre) magazines in a single, low-profile unit. The carrier ships as a lean, open-top base product; the optional Curv tooth removable flap is available separately for teams and shooters who want an additional mechanical, near-silent closure.
Unlike the single Phantom, the Phantom – Double pistol magazine carrier variant is fixed in its orientation and intentionally does not include a canted option. If users require a canted setup, Deadly Customs recommends pairing two single carriers with the cant adapters for precise ergonomic tuning. The double Phantom is purpose-built to deliver predictable indexing, minimal profile, and durable field performance where rapid reloads and compact carry are essential.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
The Phantom – Double pistol magazine carrier was conceived around a single operational brief: how to combine double-mag capacity with the Phantom family’s core principles of engineered retention, low signature, and modular mounting. Many dual carriers attempt to increase capacity at the expense of ergonomics or retention. Phantom’s approach is different — it integrates a tuned Pyolmer insert and purpose-designed internal geometry so two magazines sit cleanly, index predictably, and present in a repeatable manner for quick reloads. The result is a dual solution that behaves like two orderly single carriers yoked together — compact, secure, and ready for rapid presentation.
MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTION
The Phantom – Double pistol magazine carrier double body is constructed from two bonded layers of B52 Squadron laminate. This textile pairing offers superior abrasion resistance on the exterior and internal shape retention that prevents creep under load. The laminate’s finish resists snags and scuffing when worn on belts or rigs, while the inner layer preserves consistent geometry so the Pyolmer insert engages magazines precisely.
All stitch nodes subject to cyclical loading are reinforced with box stitching and bartacks. Webbing runs are routed to spread load across the laminate, avoiding seam stress. Edge treatments are heat-sealed where appropriate to prevent fraying and to maintain a clean, low profile. Materials and hardware choices reflect an emphasis on durability and serviceability under operational use.
RETENTION SYSTEM — HOW DUAL RETENTION WORKS
Retention in the double Phantom leverages the same layered logic as the single carrier but tuned for two magazine bodies:
-
Primary retention: A dual-profile Pyolmer insert is the operational heart of the carrier. Engineered contact zones engage each magazine at multiple points to eliminate vertical play, side-to-side wobble and rattle during movement. The geometry is designed so both magazines sit parallel and index consistently for predictable draws.
-
Secondary closure (optional): The Curv tooth removable flap may be fitted later as an accessory. When used, its tooth seats into the front mini MOLLE rows and lends a mechanical lock that resists accidental openings while remaining acoustically discreet compared with hook-and-loop. Because the carrier ships open-top by default, operators may choose speed first and add the flap only when the mission dictates.
-
Feed geometry: The internal mouth height and feed angle are tuned to present the top magazine first, enabling an immediate first reload. The second magazine nests directly behind the first with minimal interference to extraction and presentation.
This combination produces a dual-mag system that feels stable when running and releases cleanly when executed correctly. The Pyolmer’s engineered compliance provides consistent retention without the need for constant adjustment, which is especially valuable for operators running mixed magazine fleets.
MOUNTING & MODULARITY
The double Phantom includes mini MOLLE rows on both its face and rear for maximal mounting versatility. Attach it to plate carriers, chest rigs, pouch facings, or racks; ladder and stack multiple doubles for complex reload configurations; or use the rear interface to mate with Deadly Customs’ MOLLE-free Velcro belt system for near-flush belt carry.
Because the unit is a fixed, straight-facing dual carrier, it does not include a factory cant option. Operators seeking a canted orientation should consider the single Phantom plus cant adapter method — fitting two singles and angling them to preference gives unmatched ergonomic control. The double remains ideal for users who require a compact, centreline or vertical placement where cant is unnecessary or undesirable.
FIT & COMPATIBILITY
Optimised for double-stack pistols (9mm and similar), the carrier accepts common aftermarket and OEM magazines with consistent retention. The Pyolmer insert tolerates normal dimensional variance between manufacturers while maintaining firm hold. Extended or high-capacity double-stack mags are generally compatible; due to variances in geometry across some manufacturers, testing a single carrier with your specific magazine model is recommended before committing to large purchases.
Note: The double Phantom is not suited for single-stack 1911 magazines due to their narrower profile and differing geometry; attempting to use 1911 mags may result in poor retention or fit.
ERGONOMICS & PRESENTATION
The double Phantom’s mouth geometry and lip height are designed to allow a quick, gloved extraction of the first magazine with minimal hand manipulation. The second magazine is positioned immediately behind the first for a natural follow-through reload. The unit’s slim external profile reduces snag risk and keeps loadout silhouettes compact. Operators should practise reload drills to develop smooth transitions between magazine extractions and to determine the best placement on their belt or rig for fastest presentation.
SILENT OPERATION (OPTIONAL)
As with all Phantom products, silence is a selectable trait. The base carrier provides silent, friction-based retention via the Pyolmer insert. For missions requiring mechanical assurance with minimal acoustic signature, add the Curv tooth removable flap accessory. The Curv tooth engages with a distinctly reduced sound profile compared with hook-and-loop, producing a positive tactile seat without a prolonged rasp. Because the flap is sold separately, teams can equip only those units which require the added mechanical closure.
DURABILITY & LIFECYCLE
The Phantom double is designed for years of service in tough environments. B52 Squadron laminate resists abrasion, UV exposure and routine contact stresses. Reinforced stitching, heavy-duty thread, and load-spreading webbing all contribute to long service life. The Pyolmer insert maintains dimensional stability across temperature extremes and repeated cycles; the optional Curv tooth accessory is engineered for hundreds of engagements without appreciable wear.
MAINTENANCE & CARE
Routine care is minimal: clear dirt and particulates with compressed air or a soft brush, wipe with a damp cloth, and inspect stitching and tooth-slot areas for debris. If exposed to salt or heavy soiling, rinse gently with mild detergent and air dry. Avoid harsh solvents or machine drying to preserve laminate adhesives and the Pyolmer’s mechanical properties. The open-top baseline makes field maintenance and debris removal simple.
OPERATING GUIDANCE & TRAINING
Transitioning to an engineered retention dual carrier requires a short practice period. We recommend a dry training regimen of 50–150 draws and re-stows to achieve consistent seating and extraction under stress. Practice the sequence of extracting the first magazine and re-indexing to the second to ensure fluid reloads. If you later add the Curv flap accessory, include seating and reseating drills to develop the muscle memory for a quiet closure.
USE CASES
• Tactical Teams & SWAT: compact dual capacity for quick reloads during dynamic entries and transitions.
• Patrol & Duty Kits: reduced profile on belts where two mags are needed without extra pouches.
• Competition: close-quarters stages where two rapid reloads are required within short timeframes.
• Security & Private Operators: low silhouette, straightforward presentation for duties that require both speed and durability.
CUSTOMIZATION & ACCESSORIES (FLAP SOLD SEPARATELY)
Deadly Customs intentionally ships the double Phantom as a carrier-only item to preserve operator choice. Available accessories include: the Curv tooth removable flap for silent mechanical closure, laddering straps for multi-carrier configurations, and the MOLLE-free mounting kit for belt-first users.
