Removing Kenai Holster Buckles?

[bigbassfish]

I am considering removing the top and left hand side buckles on my Kenai chest holster. Currently carrying a G29 under a Marsupial Gear bino harness, and the large buckles (especially the top one) ride right under the top buckle of my bino harness, and gets pinched by the sternum strap of my pack.

I'm planning on picking up a buckle delete kit for the bino harness to eliminate some bulk up there, is there any reason I shouldn't cut 2 of the buckles off the chest holster and replace the connection with paracord loops? Is there maybe a better (less permanent?) option I could try first before cutting the buckles?

Would love to know what others have done as I also hate how big the buckles are on my Kenai Holster.
