The Brills for short-barrelled holsters used this construction versus what we call Threepersons construction today (actually Brill was 25 years before Myres' Threepersons Style), apparently to achieve retention. The short barrel holsters are often found with a safety strap, too; giving even more credence to the idea that the return to tradition, with the leather welt coming up 'round the hoop of the guard, was for retention.
