I decided to camo up my Q-DCs.
I used a mesh laundry bag and three colors of rattle can spray paint.
They don't match my 1301 exactly, but I like the way they came out.
I painted the end that interfaces with the lock mechanism an orange color to help with visual indexing of the Q-DC.

Is the boy you were proud of the man you are?

Yep, between what you are showing here, the loops stretching and wearing out and the constant inconsistent placement of the rounds on the receiver I went away from the Velcro shotgun cards as soon a the Aridus Q-DC was born
Q1: They do loosen very slightly over time but not a lot, but if you want to speed thing up there is the Carrier Spring Tool
Q2: It has never happened to me and I've left shells in one for a couple of years to see if it happen.
Q3: What about a horizontal M4 single mag pouch like from Crye or BFG?
I've been using an OSOE 12ga micro rig which I have untethered and removed the (2) six-round shotgun cards from inside the pouches and replaced with a couple of the Aridus Q-DC Carriers. Counting the carrier mounted to my gun this make 30 rounds ready to rock n roll plus the pouch on the rig perfectly holds a 25 round box of shotgun shells if desired. I can feed rounds from the receiver and/or the chest rig and replenish fresh carriers to the receiver.
LET'S GO BRANDON!
props on the Q-DC paint job Andy but the painted orange end es muy bueno.
Very sick paint job. Per the spring retention, we do not recommend loosening the screws. As mentioned, we recently came out with our Carrier Spring Tool that gives the springs a slightly deeper set and eases the retention a bit.
