This seems highly exaggerated.

Agreed. I can draw from strong side, with a seat belt on from a holster with a thumb break and don't have to go into nearly the contortions this guy does. I think the caption to pic #3 shouldn't be limited to the elbow.

It also looks like his holster has little-to-no forward cant. Cant that thing 15-20 degrees forward like it should be and the gun'll slide right out.

Well, if a person is being shot at in their vehicle they are probably already shafted. I lost a friend shot through the arm and into the heart. He did what he was supposed to, drove away, but he was already hit. The crossdraw and strong side, IMO, if both worn properly are about the same. Never let anyone get that close to your vehicle, unless it is a police officer there is no reason for it.
