I actually switch it up depending on the mag carrier and knife combo I am wearing at the time.
Currently running the JRC wing carrier and a clinch pick with a metal clip. That setup works best with the tail running over the hip towards the back. If I use a clip on kydex carrier I like to run the tail over it for added security.
I think we have the same issue with point of the hip as far as the buckle goes. Just the little double up area on my Volund Ghook belt will drive me nuts if it is over my hip point!
After I acquire a Ryker ankle med pack, next piece of kit on my list is a couple of the Mastermind Tactics EDC belts.
