Singlestack holster question

[SMSI]

The rules say that the front strap of the gun when holstered must be at or above the belt. Does this mean any part of the front strap or the whole front strap? The front strap of a 1911 is of course at at angle in most holster positions.

The provisional rule said end of grip, now they changed it to front strap. I guess it is going to be any part of front strap since they don't want DOH in SSD.

It currently means the entire front strap.

Say you have an 1 1/2" belt, does the front strap have to be above the top part of the belt or bottom? At or above belt implies to me I can lower it a bit as long as the front strap doesn't hang below bottom edge of belt.
