Have you tried carrying your knife in the left side appendix position? I've been carrying a becker bk24 left side aiwb for the last year set up for a vertical draw. I use paracord loops that allow some give and flex and it's been working well, even at work, which is landscaping and has me bending over and moving all day long. I make no claims to be a knife guru, but it didn't take long to feel comfortable using my simple angry sewing machine technique with my left hand.
I admittedly don't carry a spare mag most of the time, and when I do it's in my back left pocket. I figure a good fix blade is worth the trade off since it can perform a lot more tasks than a magazine, or even a folder. For instance I used it to jimmy the lock on the sliding door at my apartment when I locked my keys inside a couple of weeks ago. I could have done that with bullets, but it would have been a lot louder and more expensive glass replacement.
Eta: the paracord has enough give to make a strong hand cross draw easy too.

Thinking about my late friend Rob Simonich this afternoon.
This knife which we designed together is called the "Talisman" and is just over 6" OAL.
Carbon fiber and Talonite. This was the first project that Rob and I ever did together, about 20 years ago. It was named the Talisman because it was built and sent to me as a hurricane was heading for South FL where I resided on a barrier island.
Couple of quick iphone pix...
(Neck sheath is carbon fiber concealex with bead chain.)
There's nothing civil about this war.
Pretty much a standard drop point style.
(I used to have a 16th or 17th century tanto from Japan but gifted it to maker Jerry Halfrich. True tantos have a lot in common with puukkos, Nordic and Scandinavian knives in terms of the blade profiles. Classic blades and some of my favorites.)

The guys were talking about svelte defensive blades in the pocket knife thread and it made me think of this thin little beauty from Brian Tighe I purchased many moons ago:
