Single mag pouch on belt. Light in back pocket of pants. I've never carried a mag in a pocket and never a light or phone or anything else but the gun and the mag(s) on the belt. I feel like this is the best way to address the possibility of the "flashlight reload."
At least in a concealed carry situation.

Knife is about 11 o'clock, and mag pouch is about 8 o'clock, but the basic answer to your question is the knife is pulled out downwards, and the mag comes out upwards.
See also http://pistol-forum.com/showthread.p...magazine-pouch for another alternative.
I carry a Ka-Bar TDI knife. It's actually threaded on to my garrison belt so it's under my duty belt. I position it so it's behind my mag pouches.
I carry my Airweight J in a coat or vest pocket on my off-side that's accessible either with my right hand or (cavalry-draw style) with my left.
And although I know it slows my draw down by a couple tenths, I carry my main belt gun @ about the 4:30 position precisely because I can access it with my weak hand in a pinch in any position short of actually lying on my back...
IF the concern is a contact distance need to deploy a weapon with the support side, my position is that the need is somewhat misplaced.
The real issue is how to obtain positional dominance in a kissing distance fight.
The need to access your tools with either hand is important but it is NO SUBSTITUTE for positional dominance. It is simply easier and more fun to purchase another knife than it is to train for strong positional dominance.
If you do some FULL CONTACT fof, you'll find that weapons (either support side or strong side) really only get deployed once you have obtained positional dominance. Until then, more often than not, trying to deploy a weapon is a recipe for disaster.
My advice would be to get thee to a ECQC or CQT class before making any more purchases.
