BLACKHAWK Belt Pad with IVS

I fall between their S and M sizes: I wear about a 34 and a half. If I get the 37" version will the excess be in the way?

Are there any keepers that come with the belt at all?? If zero keepers where can I get the keepers ??

Will this belt pad work for the alice pistol belt?

Seems cool and all but is there no way to attach your belt keepers from your duty belt to your inner belt?
