After several house payments worth of gear and kit this is the set up I have been using for the past year...funny how we keep coming back to a KISS set up. Elcan not generally used during courses, just for service conditions matches. The Med Kit just needs a patch on it and I am done.
Nylon duty belt with TT pad
Blade Tech mag holders
5.11 dump pouch
TT GP pouch with med kit
Issue 5946 in Safariland 6004 with belt adapter.
Rifle pictured is a 6920 with an M4 top end.

Nobody Cares! Fix It!
Can the Blade Tech mag holders be snapped on to a belt as you are wearing it of do you need to take the belt off to snap them on? I see they make a paddle mag pouch too, this might be my solution. I'd like each of our officers to have one as an option to pop on and off when necessary. We have bandoleers now; they work well and give us 4 rifle mags and w pistol mags to work with.

I love that USGG pouch. I'm going to ask him to tweak it a little and run it up a little higher though. I'm going to replace the two Eagle pistol pouches with USGG 4th gen single pistol pouches as well.
I have not encountered any retention issues but I have also not jumped out of a helicopter with it.
Funnily enough, I have never seen this rig, but that is quite similar to what I run. It's funny because you are the only other person I have seen with a TT pad on a simple nylon duty belt.
You'd think I would have seen this on you and stolen the idea, but I had no clue you ran one. So in my case it's pure skinflintness that got me on to the TT pad. It was a cheap way to try out the belt rig approach.
I do sometimes wear it with a leather work belt, though...heavy and low-tech but strangely familiar and satisfying - maybe the influence of my life in construction.
Full disclosure: I'm the editor of Calibre Magazine, which is Canada's gun magazine. In the past I've done consulting work for different manufacturers and OEM suppliers, but not currently. M4C's disclosure policy doesn't seem to cover me but we do have advertisers, although I don't handle that side of things and in general I do not know who is paying us at any given time.
