Executive summary- I like them and they have served well in class/quals/edc.
Recall a prior thread in which we were lamenting the demise of the Custom Carry Concepts basic mag carrier.
In an effort to find a suitable replacement- I stumbled across one being sold on EBay for about 15 USD shipped CONUS. It is marketed for 1.5 inch belts though the slot it is approx 1.55 inches. I have no affiliation with them whatsoever.
The pouch is advertises as being 3d printed. it is sturdy with far less flex than kydex.

Weight 39g v 32g
Height 83 mm v 71mm
Width front-back 40 mm v 36 mm

Internal Width 23mm v 24mm
IW- side to side 34mm v. 32mm

I have carried the eBay on on the following belts and note the following:
5.11 Apex “Biothane” - pouch moves freely on belt. Cinches fine when worn in field.
Mastermind Tactics Specialist “Shiv Works Ltd Ed”- ditto
Wilderness FF CSM- eBay pouch does NOT move freely and cinches fines
Tenicor Zero- pouch moves freely on belt. Cinches fine
Old School Earnie Hill Horsehide Leather Gun Belt- EBay pouch will NOT thread absent great effort. The BMC will, though it is quite tight
On a whim, I drilled a couple of “drain holes in one to see if it materially affected the release of the magazine ..it did not
