I advise not doing that, take the pouch and mag together then just place them in a warm area of the house for a few weeks, it will naturally over time loosen up a bit without compromising the retention.
I can also say that if you leave a mag in the pouch for 1 year it will no longer retain as well as you want it to. then again reheating and reshaping will bring it back but reheating will just start causing more issues.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By lxranes: After looking at a good bakers dozen pages in this thread it seems like the double pistol with GAP from esstac will fit with mallice straps on the molle of a BAG belt? I'd like to hear some opinions on this since esstac says it wont work. I’ve heard/seen them work with some and not with others when trying to use the MOLLE. Best bet is to use some Velcro one wrap and you can put it wherever you want on the belt. The Kywi Gap pouches are great. |

I'll give that a shot. They are almost too tight, but I can see them easing up a bit with the mags inserted in a warm spot for a week or so. At least I know that they won't spill out if I do tactical cartwheels  ROCK6 |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ROCK6: While "universal" to some degree, I've found my pistol taco's don't retrain my larger FNX, CZ97, or XD.45 mags very well. Part of that is that they're taller and the metal is slicker, even with the shock cord locked down as tight as I can, they just aren't too secure. I need to find a better option or my FNX mags as I've been running that more often in drills. I'm going to try the gapped Esstac pouches again. I don't really want to screw with the ones I have set up for standard Glock 9mm mags. ROCK6 Gotcha. People have different needs. :) |

I’d like to contribute a modification I came across. This is cross posted in the other battle belt thread.
This is not my idea, I stole it and ran. Cut the belt loops off a UBL, and screw on a blade tech tech lok. I’m digging up the pics...brb. ETA As promised modified UBL with Blade Tech Tek Lok for my sons P-10 OR with TRL-1. Easy peazy 20 minutes Dremel cut off wheel to take off belt loops after scribe a cut line. Lead the line. Sand to dimensions with a fine drum, rounding corners and sharp edges. Then I used the brush wheel attachment to smooth it out. Center punch a mark using the tek lok as a template on one of the two upper holes. Small drill first, followed with a bit the size of the barrel nut. Screw it on snug. Line up and center punch the other 2 holes. Drill and reinstall with rubber washers provided. No cant but you certainly could add some.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By UndrGrndPrdcts: That is awesome Thanks like I said it’s stolen You could do it with a hack saw and a sanding block and a drill. Tech Lok- $15 UBL $16 Call it $35 parts and shipping The aluminum one some guys bought is real nice. And $75. I suppose you could put a QLS on it. But for that price I’ll just make another one for a different holster plus I don’t like the way th QLS pushes the holster out. I will be experimenting with another one with the Safariland molle adapters Safariland is backlogged for at least a month on the 7st holster I purchased and the parts don’t ship until everything is in stock. Purchased from Copquest btw. |

The reason I did the mod above is because I suspected that using bathe belt loop might push the points into my hip. But I have a padded belt and never tried the loops so I can’t really comment. They make a UBL pad btw. |

Two reasons I didn't. 1. At the time I wasn't sure it would work or if I even would like it & wanted To be able to go back. 2. I had this weird aversion to permanently modify things. Probably because I didn't have a whole lot of money and feared that if I messed it up I would be out the item + the $$$. I also had a mild concern that it might comprise the overall strength of the hanger. Today I would probably cut them off if I went back to using it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HellioN: Yes I had considered it. Two reasons I didn't. 1. At the time I wasn't sure it would work or if I even would like it & wanted To be able to go back. 2. I had this weird aversion to permanently modify things. Probably because I didn't have a whole lot of money and feared that if I messed it up I would be out the item + the $$$. I also had a mild concern that it might comprise the overall strength of the hanger. Today I would probably cut them off if I went back to using it. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HellioN: Originally Posted By cavgunner: Originally Posted By HellioN: Originally Posted By cavgunner: I’d like to contribute a modification I came across. This is cross posted in the other battle belt thread. This is not my idea, I stole it and ran. Cut the belt loops off a UBL, and screw on a blade tech tech lok. I’m digging up the pics...brb. ETA As promised modified UBL with Blade Tech Tek Lok for my sons P-10 OR with TRL-1. Easy peazy 20 minutes Dremel cut off wheel to take off belt loops after scribe a cut line. Lead the line. Sand to dimensions with a fine drum, rounding corners and sharp edges. Then I used the brush wheel attachment to smooth it out. Center punch a mark using the tek lok as a template on one of the two upper holes. Small drill first, followed with a bit the size of the barrel nut. Screw it on snug. Line up and center punch the other 2 holes. Drill and reinstall with rubber washers provided. No cant but you certainly could add some. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/262787/427C87C2-C12E-4F39-B0FF-B57D1BBECB33_jpe-1828553.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/262787/40820D51-92F2-4A63-A439-46A3F9CC153C_jpe-1828554.JPGhttps://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/262787/34396726-E622-48EB-B77D-EDD28B05B192_jpe-1828556.JPG My rig https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/262787/AA4A9128-2FB0-46F6-94E7-FD4490A7A896_jpe-1828560.JPG Neat. I did something very similar a few years ago. https://files.catbox.moe/mmqpvt.jpg https://files.catbox.moe/ytpeyx.jpg Have you considered cutting off the belt loops? Yes I had considered it. Two reasons I didn't. 1. At the time I wasn't sure it would work or if I even would like it & wanted To be able to go back. 2. I had this weird aversion to permanently modify things.

I am seriously ready for a BFG micro TKN. Yours and PFrans look great and our set ups are very similar. I have a vertical pouch, and I'm certain the BFG will make I easier to sit in a vehicle. Will be ordering one very soon. It should fit the stuff I carry on my belt ifak. Hyfin compact chest seals, QC combat gauze, pressure bandage, NPA, chest needle and gloves. Where are yall carrying y'alls shears with this ifak though? My TQ will go horizontal in front of my pistol by the buckle or in a hammock. I just need to think about shear placement |

I just need to think about shear placement Shears presented a problem for me as I could no longer stuff them behind the BFG TKN!. I picked up a Benchmade 8 Hook from an Army surplus store in Ft. Benning for under $10 and ended up sticking it in 5.56 Estaac mag pouch (sandwiched between the Kydex and the nylon on the inside. I'd like to hear how others with the BFG TKN! are handing the shears issue.  Attached File Attached File |

Finally got an in-stock alert for a BFG micro trauma kit and dump pouch, so I downsized from the esstac min-med. The seated lumbar support was a bit much.
   Their Helium Whisper mount is a breeze for Molle. |

@scuba_steve what TQ pouch is that? Looks nice. I looked at Tactical Tailor and a Canadian company called Line of Fire (LOF) Defence Systems. Similar designs. Curious what that one runs.
