its not for a drop holster, that drops it down to your leg. this only drops it 2", a tad closer to my hand.
I'm not talking about a thigh rig, that's a leg drop holster. I'm talking about a belt drop holster that drops your pistol below your belt line. Yes, it's closer to your hand, but that platform is more unstable. The primary audience for those is LEOs who wear kevlar vests, or maybe winter gear, where the vest or coat interferes with the higher riding holster and gun. There's nothing wrong with grabbing at your belt line to draw your pistol.
By and large, we have gone away from lower riding holsters like Barney Fife wore. Anything hanging below your belt will flop around more, and will also be incredibly hard to wear and draw from in a car. You want the tight, stable platform that is achieved by a secure holster where the belt crosses the gun.
You and autosurgeon (Ryan) live fairly close to one another I think. You're in the Kalamazoo area and I believe he's down the road in the Coloma area.
