EMP 3" 9mm

I am a new owner of an EMP 3" in 9mm. I have many different 1911 belt type magazine holders. They are all for .45's but my Cold Defender 9mm mags fit the .45 pouches. however the EMP 9mm mags are considerably smaller and are loose and can fall out. I know no mag pouch manufacturer who states their magazine carrier is for the Springfield EMP. Some of them say "fits virtually all .45, 9mm, and .40 S&W magazines". That's crap... It appears that the EMP single stack 9mm mag does NOT fit in any of the holders. Has anyone else had this issue and what's the solution???
 
I have seen the mag pouches at Springfield and Vedder. I believe they are all Kydex. I hate that plastic stuff... I prefer leather and I apologize for not making that clear. I guess if I fail to find leather one's, that's only game in town. I'm old - I still like leather when available...

Thank you for the reply...

The EMP is completely scaled for the 9, vs typical 9 1911’s that are the same size as 45’s and use a “spacer” so the larger Mag bodies work with 9’s. If you’ll do some research you can find leather that will work for your EMP., but regular 1911 accessories will not fit correctly

Google is your friend. A 30 second search shows Springfield Armory and Vedder holster both sell magazine pouches made specifically for the EMP. Have not tried them but since they specifically state they are for the EMP one must assume they indeed are worth trying.

I have the Rosin holster and mag pouches from the Springfield store. Top notch quality and a perfect fit for the holster and mag carrier.
 
I believe you’ll find any single stack 9 mm magazine holder will work for an EMP. I’ve got a couple that were bought for other pistils (938 Sig, Bond Bullpup) that hold an emp mag nicely

Also 1911 parts don’t interchange either
