I see you're continuing your efforts to promote ignorance and stupidity in cyberspace.
No, just rejecting your position that I have a responsibility to prove everything with citations as if this is a formal setting. No need to promote it anyways. Runs rampant. Don't worry though, I heard there is a do-gooder California lawyer working on a bill to restrict posting to only those with a law degree. That will bring truth and transparency to all corners of the web.
And it you can't, folks have every reason to conclude that you're making stuff up and/or don't know what you're talking about.
No, they should buy one and try it out or take the info provided, such as it's common name being a buscadero holster and do their own research.
Here is a photo for you though. Approximately 40 years prior to when hollywood is supposed to have invented the "buscadero" style rig. A gun-fighter. Even cross-draw like the two high holsters you cited.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perry_Owens#/media/File:Sheriff_Commodore_Perry_Owens.jpg
The style was seen regularly in border areas by 1900. It is still used around the border. I've actually seen a vaquero wearing one within sight of the border. May even have a photo or a friend may. I have used it with a revolver while doing rural property maintenance and found it quite comfortable while performing a number of physical tasks.
I bought a used revolver that came with a Buscadero style rig. Buscadero meaning "searcher," as in bounty hunter or lawman.
Hollywood adopted the equipment used by the closest thing to a western gunfighter that was still around. South Texas rural cowboys and lawmen. There were probably lots of different holsters in use. If you want to say the buscadero was not proportionally represented in any time as it is in hollywood movies or that it is shown in movies that pre-date its development, fine. I'm not buying low holsters did not exist until someone in hollywood invented the style in 1920.
If you can't, you'll be dipping your whole body during the draw, causing you to slow down, put your body in an awkward position, and worst of all, look stupid.
If the situation calls for a gun to be drawn I don't plan on standing up straight, I'll be dipping somewhat, but not like I think you mean. No matter where my gun is holstered or whether I even have one on. If there is gun play I am getting low.
Using the bottom of the holster as a point to index your holster height makes no sense to me. I have holsters for pistols with 6" and pistols with 2" barrels and corresponding length holsters. Should the pistol grip vary 4"? Where the trigger guard meets the grip seems to be where I need to get the height right. Several inches below any of my hip holsters, although as some have already pointed out, also several inches higher than I see some wearing thigh rigs. My thigh rig has a height adjustment and it is about as high as it can go.
On an OWB hip holster with the attachment low enough on the holster the bottom doesn't flop when I pull the grip is going to be somewhere on my forearm. That isn't the best place for it. Not everyone has the same arm&torso ratios. That could come in to play.
The comfort come into play where you have a relatively mobile joint at your hip instead of a rigid piece of steel. On the buscadero holster I have it is a relatively soft/flexible leather attachment and on the thigh rig is it is a pivoting joint. The thigh attachment has to be tight. If a cord, tight enough it will cause bunching in all but the rawest denim pants. I tried one with a think elastic belt and it didn't work. Had to replace elastic with stronger type and still not perfect. You may find yourself occasionally pulling your pants leg down past the cord.
I'm not saying it is the best holster option out there. In the context of most of our lives it is a terrible option for reasons outside technical aspects.
Once you get used to it being there you won't bump it very often. How often did you hit your arm on your OWB or even IWB gun/holster when you started wearing 3 o'clock? After a month?
