I saw a couple things on the internet this week. One guy touting his new holster with a "good" forward cant. The other was Rob Latham talking about the need to have a good grip on the frame before you draw. Maybe old age is getting to me and softening my body or my brain, but for me a forward cant prevents a good grip.
I have a box full of holsters: some with a cant, some straight drop, and a few cross draw. For me, a straight drop at 3 o'clock works well as does the cross draw. But I can't find a spot on my belt where I can get a grip on the pistol with a forward cant until I'm back around 5 o'clock or more. By then, I can't pull the pistol any more. Where am I going wrong? What am I missing?
