What is the advantage of a "Split" pocket holster?

I can't comment on that holster in particular, but it appears to have the equivalent of a anti-print panel.  In other words, if the gun and holster are seen through the pants material, the imprint appears square as opposed to being shaped like the grip of a gun.

Most rear pocket holsters are just a front holster with  another square piece of leather sewn or riveted on so the gun does not print and apears as a wallet in you pocket.

Meco's split holster flap is just an extension of the pocket holster leather so you get the same effect with less leather, weight, and thickness.

I have not purchased a Meco Split Holster.

I had a less expensive holster that would be similar to the Meco. I found it to be bulky in the pocket.

You can always purchase one and of you don't like it sell it. Everyone likes something different and it may work for you?

Which is the reason KJ and I wear Rear Pocket Pocket Holsters in the front.  They print nice and "square".  There is no doubt  that there is a wallet in your pocket to prying eyes.
