I have a MTAC Minotaur for my XDsc40 and a Crossbreed Supertuck for my Walther PPK. The Walther fits really well and is fairly slim so no issues there, but I've been fussing a little with the MTAC, moving it around, etc. I am a new CHL holder, so still experimenting.

I've been carrying at home for a few weeks to get the holsters broken in, and to find the best spot to put them. Both are adjustable up and down, as well as cant, by changing the holes that the screws go in.

So here's the question. I found that raising the gun up in the holster makes it more comfortable to wear, but the Kydex part of the holster is up above the belt about an inch. Are there any issues with carrying it this way, or is it better to find a setting where the gun is further down in my pants? When I do that, there is a noticeable bulge in my beltline, but there's more of a chance of printing when it's higher, I presume.

Your thoughts? Any safety issues with either high or low?
