I want to emphasize the holsters shown aare for everyday, self defense carry. For more vigorous use afield, I do have this: Bob Wright

BOB: WELL THOUGHT OUT. MY SHOULDERS ARE SHOT AND SOME CANT MAKES IT EASIER FOR ME TO DRAW. IF I DID USE YOUR DRAW AND COCK METHOD I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CANT I WOULD PREFER.

IF I DID USE YOUR DRAW AND COCK METHOD I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CANT I WOULD PREFER. ***** For strong side hip or belt carry, a vertical draw is easier on a damaged or worn shoulder. A forward cant forces the shoulder to pull forward to keep the shoulder in a straight line with the draw and to prevent an acute wrist angle (which weakens the draw). Water-molded a vertical-draw holster in the early 1970’s for my late shooting partner, Ed Verge. Verge was rather short, about the scale of Elmer Keith, and lived with a M-57 8-3/8” .41 Mag on his hip. Made him a 3” belt with all-around, adjustable cartridge loop. Verge just about never carried cross draw, which would justify adding a bit of rake. The muzzle hung close to his knee, yet his draw was smooth as cream. David Bradshaw

Mr. Wright,
I am intrigued by your holster. I love the AW Brill design but I must admit the cant is more than I prefer.
The first time I put on one of my Barranti Rangers, I thought it was near unusable! This is 100% not the fault of the maker or the designer - just personal preference. That said, the holster has really grown on me as I get used to it.
Still I would be interested to try a neutral or more neutral cant Brill holster.
Also, your cuffed No. 1 looks great!

That cuffed No. 1 was made for a 2 1/2" wide gun belt. I liked it so much that I added a thick strip of thick to the skirt amd made it fit my pants belt, 1 1/2" wide. At left is the No.1 Shuck, next to it is the No.1 Shuck Banded and plain with no stamping: Bob Wright
