I've been running a battle belt fairly often recently. On my off-hand side I have 2 double Tacos (the ones with a pistol mag stacked on a rifle mag). I've got bunches of tacos on other rigs as well. Some observations...
- they've been fine on the belt...good height position, quick to get to, doesn't get cluttered with rig
- rifle mag retention has been positive...even when hitting the dirt, crawling around etc...
- I've dropped a pistol mag once...I run a TM 5.1 hicapa...and the mags will hold, but there's a lot of weight not held by the taco pistol pouch. Not so keen on it now.
- two rifle mag tacos stacked on each other is ridiculous...sticks out a lot. As a one/first mag quick grab sort of thing, they're great. On most of my rigs I have 1-2 tacos and then regular double pouches.

I'm debating swapping the rearmost double taco to be a plain double M4 pouch (I figure by the time you need a 3-4th mag the sound of a velcro flap won't mean much)....and I'll leave the forward one as a double for now (and just snug up the retention). If I drop another pistol mag I'll switch that double to a single rifle mag.
