I especially liked the part where you touched on how to properly wear drop leg kit. Drop leg panels are there, becuase you don't have enough room on your belt. Bottom line. I can't say the same for leg holsters (though sometimes it is because you have too much on your belt), because, that is personal preference, for some part, on how one draws, unless you have a unit/LE/department SOP to wear a leg holster. I do know that with CSC, their ERT team marksmen that do carry a secondary, have their holster as far up the leg as possible, but not so high that it restricts movement/or crushes their nuts. This in turn reduces the fatigue set into the leg (as orborous stated), and also keeps the pistol as close to a belt draw as possible.
If you have a pistol in a drop leg holster set properly on your leg, you will notice that the grip is not that far from the belt itself, unless your really tall. I have also found that having it this high reduces the holster/sidearm from shifting on your leg. Personally I hate having a sidearm on my belt, I find (because I have a short torso, and longer arms) that with a belt draw I have to contort my arm to reach the pistol. With a leg holster I just drop my arm to my side and the pistol is there.
