Findlayref19This may seem odd, but I use almost a 45 degree cant OTW high ride @ about 3:30. The draw is a bit odd when standing, but it makes the weapon easy to get to when seated or in the car. Re- holstering is also a slower more deliberate act.

delta 210 degree here and it's standard with Raven Phantoms.

ensigmaticI just bought my first Kydex carry holster. Discussed it with the maker,
PJ Holster, and he suggested, for a 3:30 to 4 o'clock carry, a 15° to 20° cant. I went with 15°. Works like a champ. Draws very nicely & I can re-holster neatly and cleanly without looking or feeling for the holster.
Only disadvantage is that does raise the grip of the pistol and makes it print a bit more than it otherwise might. Not a problem with a loose cover garment, but a couple of my t-shirts are more form-fitting.

4am works pretty well, too.

DMFI carry at "3 o'clock."
With a small gun like a baby Glock, I carry with no cant. The gun still conceals well and it's a good angle for drawing the gun.
For larger guns, like my Glock 22, I carry with a 10 degree cant. It helps the gun conceal better, but is not canted so much that it slows the draw.

RHINOWSO15 is a little excessive for 3:00, but 3:30-4 is fine.

davidjinksDepends on the gun, holster and clothing I'm wearing.
For my daily carrying; Glock 17, Classic IWB by Blade-Tech which usually sits on the hip with about a 10° cant.
Now if I'm wearing "professional" attire; I would go with a Glock 17 in a VMII behind the hip. The VMII is a 15° cant.

I'm thinking a 5 degree cant. What say you ?

midwest guyUsually 3 o'clock, straight drop, mid ride,1.5 inch clip over. Dara also offers multiple cants .

thetexanengineerFor me, a bit of cant (or maybe a lot haha) is perfectly fine for
carrying on the strong-side hip, but I find it a pain to actually draw with cant (15 degrees, in my case).
Personally, I am thinking of trying some straight-drop holsters next...

ChowserBecause my duty holster is straight drop I try to have all my carry holsters straight drop as well.

jcatI like the added cant for carry behind the hip. I tend to carry 330-4 o clock and the cant makes it easier to conceal the grip. It requires torquing your wrist a bit more than normal on the draw but that hasn't become a problem for me yet.

Old SeadogI like the 15 degree cant at 4pm

RogueJSKI prefer a 10-15 degree cant. Even with holsters worn directly on the hip at 3:00. I can't do straight-drop holsters. The draw feels too unnatural.

AZSigsI prefer 0 degree cant.
