For carry purposes, this allows you to draw the gun to your front. You support hand should be in front of you at your center and the gun and strong hand should come up to meet it. If the holster was raked backwards, you would draw it to your rear and quite possibly end up pointing the gun at yourself, or "flagging" your side. Cross draws draw towards the grip, but they are positioned differently.

Sorry so late on the response, it's been a busy Fall so far. That gun is similar to the smaller Walthers and even the Sig P230. Those fit well with a Prudent (like the holster in this video), or even an Appendix carry. They DO make a mold for that gun and your gun would not be needed!

This works better than my first response ... The slots themselves are made with a 1 3/4" oblong punch. This allows for a standard 1 1/2" belt to fit nicely. The placement of the slots falls into the art-meets-science range. I figure out where I want the gun to sit and run the slots accordingly. I figure the top of the slots will run along the top of the belt. I often start over as soon as I place the slots because I visualize the holster from there. The slots are actually the first element of the actual holster to go in the pattern. Everything else is based off of those and the gun itself.

@@workadaygunleather3331 Thanks for the info and for the response. Great work.
