This would leave the Left Front for a mag, but it seems like this is a less than ideal place to grab a mag from when in a hurry.
Milt Sparks makes a pocket mag carrier, which breaks up the profile and keeps the mag indexed and in the right place. I actually have one for CZ75 that I don't need (sold the CZ); it might fit the Sig mags...not sure how to test.

When I CCW, I usually switch the wallet to the front pocket anyway, regardless of mag carrier, because I want to be able to extricate wallet, cash, etc without having to lift cover garments in the back.

It's true that getting the mag from a pocket mag carrier is not super-fast, but having to reload in a CCW gunfight is a rarity. I would put draw speed of the mag as a far lesser concern than draw speed of the gun.
