Great post from DPris. I've read that book many times and there are things I agree with and do not agree with. He doesn't spend much time on the rake of the holster except to say that the back rake (muzzle back) tends to keep the butt of the gun off of the back of seat when in the patrol car. The back rake design also seems to give the longer muzzle some place to go when seated since there is more drop where the seat meets the back.
Bianchi in his book Bluesteel and Gunleather, spends a considerable amount of time talking about the rake. The general consensus is that the back rake aids in concealment and access if carried in a high ride position. The forward rake has the edge in speed if carried lower because of the natural positioning of the grip.
