First I hafta get this off of my chest,,,

Jim, that is perhaps the most Bu**-Ugly rig I have ever laid eyes on,,,
But for pure functionality I am in absolute awe of your creativity.

~ducking and running for cover now~

When you get the pattern perfected, send it to me,,,
I'll be proud to tool you up a pretty version of your very unique rig.

I wonder if a series of holes that your belt thong could pass through might control the angle of carry for your holster.

I'm not sure if I can describe it but I'll try.

Let's say that on the front of your holster (thick part of the bend),,,
You sew (or rivet) a vertical strip that creates two loops to run the thing through.

That keeps it from sliding up or down the front face of the holster,,,
Essentially locking that part in one place.

Now you punch a series of holes along the length of the back seam,,,
This would allow you to choose which holes to run the thong through,,,
Thereby allowing you to have multiple angles of carry.

Choose two holes near the middle for a straight up and down carry angle.
Choose two holes nearer the top of the seam for a cross-draw angle.
Choose two holes nearer the bottom for a forward tilt carry angle.

Make the holes on the back seam large enough so the thong slips easily,,,
The point of this is to lock them in a chosen position to control the angle of carry.
I would not want to interfere with your "cinch tight" system.

Hey!
I think I just named your rig,,,

I'm going to attempt to upload a quick sketch of my idea.

See how the thongs can't move on the front edge,,,
But are infinitely adjustable on the rear.

Whaddaya think my friend?
