As of now, my Ultra CDP II is in its Tucker Answer at about 4:00. Not sure what the rake angle is, but it's adjusted to for a bit more butt-forward cant. I found that lets me get a better grip.

Ok, most of you replied 3:30-4:00. At what degree? 10 or 15? Which is standard or most comfortable?

4:30 - 20 degrees rake = comfort and concealability

Really depends on what I'm carrying. I'm other handed so w/ a 1911 I carry right at 9 o'clock, but w/ the P7M8 I tend to carry further back at about 8 to 8:30.

I've found that it's slightly different for each pistol, so EXPERIMENT. Find out what's right for you and if you change pistols you have to experiment again.

Anywhere between 3:00 to 4:00 strongside. I have a FIST kydex tuckable, cantable holster and also a Don Hume IWB 715. I carry my belt holsters the same position. BUG (P3AT or Beretta 21) will be in the pocket and extra mag on the weak side.

I'm a lefty.
I carry my Bresa .380 at 8:00 with no cant in a Don Hume.
If I carry OWB then it's at 9:00.

I carry a Taurus PT1911 in a UBG Stryker II w/ a 10* cant. At 3:00 it disappears. At 3:30 it is so comfortable that except for the fact it pulls my pants down, I might forget it was there.

IWB using C-Tac or OWB using Galco Side Snap Scabbard.
