    Holster attachment that allows angling the bore axis inward

    I'm using a BOSS hanger on a Hammer Armament holster for my Staccato P. Also have a JMCK competition holster on order. I've used this same holster for my C2. I can cant the holster as needed, but the plane of this rotation is perpendicular to the ground. Using the P with its relatively sharp serrations even the smallest off axis pull hangs the gun up on the way out (by off axis I mean in a slightly away-from-the-body direction. This same setup with the C2, almost identical gun save for the 3.9" barrel, does not exhibit this issue. I'm working on adapting my draw to really keep my elbow in-plane as I go for the gun, but stuff happens. This being Steel Challenge the draw is really an important element. Any suggestions on a holster attachment that has an adjustment in that axis?

    Until Limited Optics finds its way into Steel Challenge I'm shooting in Open, but I have zero interest in every using a race holster.

    Thanks, @GJM. The 800 looks really promising. Even though it doesn't support a camber adjustment the toe-in adjustment will allow me to keep the gun at the familiar 3 o'clock location and avoid my having to keep my elbow so tucked into my body with a bit of positive toe-in. Interesting nomenclature. I would have used yaw, pitch, roll for toe-in, caster, and camber.

    I did try a bit more "pitch" with the BOSS hanger with a resulting improvement.

    Follow-up: The major contributor is the holster shape and perhaps excess pressure from my index finger during the pull. The Hammer Armament holster has a relief channel for the small right-side bump from the slide release. The channel is contoured and steps down right at this bump. Finger pressure flexes the outer holster shell the the ridge in this channel interferes with the "bump". My JMCK appendix holster, for example, doesn't have this profile change and no matter how hard I press with my index finger the gun comes out clean.

    I'll do some more work with the heat gun to smooth things out. If I'm not successful I can temporarily modify my initial grip, but that's not something I want to live with long term. The JHMC OWB holster I have on the way won't exhibit this issue.
