This.

This. When I see these on my colleagues, in a very big Texas municipality other than Austin, the pouches are not angled-outward, or sagging, because they are being worn by heavy hitters, who bought them. LCD folks are likely to use the conventional-style low-bid made-in-China junk single mag pouches issued by Supply Division. (We are issued two single pouches.) Also, notably, the LCD folks tend to carry only one spare magazine; the second mag pouch, if on the belt, tends to carry a pocket knife or nitrile gloves.

I do see them, however, just loose over time from wear.

Also this happens as well when the belt is too loose and flops forward due to weight...

Not really a forward tilt, but I've found wearing a keeper on each side of the pouch and pushing then behind the pouch gives a nice offset. It's not a lot, but I've found I can get at the mags a little smoother that way.

I've drawn up a few variations on the three, four and give mag pouches but doubt I can get anyone to make them.

I recall in the days of nylon that Ichiro Nagata had a five stacked mag pouch with edge on orientation.

I only saw in field once, worn by a PSD guy who was designated shooter left in contact. He was also running a Glock 18 as primary. Have not seen in more contemporary usage since however.

Rather perfectly reflected a certain time period and way of thinking I might conjecture, but might of course be biased by sample size. Could certainly have been more common and i just never saw.

A modern kydex variant in 3 stack might be interesting tonplay with, but not sure.

Tuff Products makes them. Still available.
