Do you carry with or without the forward cant?

Strange that I was unable to find another thread on this topic.

To all the IWB carriers out there -- do you like your holster to have a 15 degree forward cant or to be a straight up-and-down? The only IWB I have experience with is SOB.

I don't know what the degree of cant is on my MS VM2, but I prefer a cant. I carry at 4:00 though, so it helps with access.

I prefer holsters with a cant to it, as it helps and helps with my draw.

I like lots of cant for my 5 inch 1911.. The last time I checked it stays around 25 degrees...Maybe a little more when I wear my Mac Daniels II.....

Cant can really help you hide your pistol....
