I found this fix and I thought I might share it with others who are having the same issue with cheaper holsters....just in case it could help others.
For now I am using 2 cheap Uncle Mike's double mag pouches on my shooting belt. Of course Uncle Mike's says "Fits belt loops up to 1 3/4"
What they really mean is the belt loop is for 1 3/4" belts and anything else is sloppy and will let the holster move around each time you insert or pull out a mag. So, yesterday I tried this fix and it worked GREAT!
This is what I used for each holster. 1 cheapo Bic ballpoint pen and 1 wire tie. Since my holster is black, I used a black opaque pen (that is what I could find) and a black wire tie so it's not so redneck looking.
I removed the guts of the pen so I just had the tube and I cut the tube just long enough to fit inside the belt loop. Then I wire tied the tube to the holster.
I am really pleased with the results. My holsters don't move around and are much more steady. And yet I can still move them or take them off the belt. Probably a 50 cent fix per holster and doesn't look too horrible either.
Here are some pics.....
