My waistband is a good 6 or 8 inches below my elbow... even with a canted holster, the top rearmost part of the grip, in my biggest CCW handgun (a Smith 4506) is still 3 to 5 inches below my elbow...
without hunching over sideways, there's no way my elbow would get anywhere near the gun... and I'm built pretty normally... with my waist slightly above my hips... and normal length arms...
I'd like to see a pic of someone, standing normally, shirt tucked in, gun in holster between 2:30 and 4-0-clock, and their elbow touching their gun...
I use a Galco Jak-Slide holster, with a SMith semi-auto about 90% of the time, and I can't achieve elbow contact...
