I didn't save a picture of the rest of the draw, but I'd bet he's slinging.
The explicit point in the video is not merely that the holster is tilted forward - muzzle rear rake - but that the wide belt loop of the holster allows movement on the narrow belt. Look closely at the picture of the holster without the revolver. The holster is raised above the belt.
And then, from the 1967 Safariland catalog - the number 1 FBI Speed Tilt holster. "A unique belt loop construction allows the holster to pivot forward when the gun is drawn."

Excellent as always :-). First time it has actually registered, that the Safariland holster is in the Myres' shape at the welt, vs. the Heiser shape other Safariland's (and Bianchi) used (although Lucky B's Heiser 457 used the intersecting angle, most 457s have the 'waisted' look):
