The operator type non pals belts are low profile and stiff.
Im not saying mid ride because ‘tacticool’ or whatever, it just works.
Comp shooters use very open/insecure holsters, which exit forwards easier.
Tactical holsters need much more of a vertical draw, and unless you have Trex arms drawing off you waist is high, nothing wrong with that, but as you said it interferes if wearing a rig etc, but the biggest deal breaker for me is running, climbing, sitting with a mid ride is SO much more stable and un-interfering.
