Thanks, DCJS.
My version of the gun at retention is tucked to my chest along my side, canted like you said. However, it's tucked high and tight on the side next my pectoral muscle.
I can't disagree with you about being squared up compared to being bladed most of the time. I haven't done the research nor put that into practice to back up my claim. All I know is if there's immenent danger, my reaction is to place my body in a position that's advantageous for me.
I do know there's always exception to rules and I'm sure many scenarios have been studied that being squared up might be the most common occurance. But, I've been taught to gain advantage body wise against your opponent and gain space if at all possible. Drawing my weapon prematurely could make things even worse.
Do you have any links providing your input? I'd like to know more.
