I will preface this post by saying I am definitely not a firearms aficionado, but I am lucky to have good friends who are. Holster cant is the angle that the gun rides at in the holster. I had never really given much thought to this, as I am not much of a gear guy and typically use whatever is issued to me. My firearms coach and good friend @buliwyf_actual shared with me that the cant of most issued holsters is angled forward, which comes from the FBI’s recommendation back in the day. The only problem is that the forward cant facilitates a more natural draw from the 4 o’clock, which apparently is where many agents positioned their firearms when concealed carrying. The obvious problem is that we do not position our duty pistols way back there. For my body type, arm length and where my belt rises on my hip I would have to lean to the opposite side to get to my gun as you can see in the “before” clip. Not necessarily “wrong,” but Anthony said it was extra movement and not efficient. Solution? He let me try a #negativecantplate (NCP) by @blackboxcustoms_ and @the_theory_police. It adjusts the angle of the holster so that it aligns more naturally with your hand when you unholster. As you can see from the two clips, it made a considerable difference for me. My holster is a @safarilandgroup 6360RDS ALS/SLS mid-ride and I’m getting my #dryfire reps with the @nltsirt p320 full size. Like everything, there are pros and cons to a negative cant. I will hopefully be doing some #jiujitsu with it to see how durable the plate is when someone is pulling on it and how feels when I unholster while rolling.
