Stretching out the clip hole spacing to 8.0" was determined feasible with my current FoxX-based holster as an interim improvement, and once done, has proven to be the perfect clip spacing for my favorite (non-stonewashed Schmidt, from Tractor Supply) jeans.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vNlSJRtgygoJqExMcyqjmndoCHRL61MMThe issue that mitigates against simply making the clip punch hole on the trigger side the place where hole relocation (to increase clip spacing) is focused, is the need to keep the "V" shape (formed by the thigh clearance cuts) "centered" between clips, because the belt loops of trousers are "centered" or symmetrical. Simply relocating the trigger side hole outwardly on the leather (as there is room to do) would result in asymmetry of the thigh-clearing "V" shape when worn, i.e. the tip of the barrel being shifted leftward and the critical-to-utility clearance to the left thigh reduced.
I'm waiting to hear back from FoxX regarding my proposal to provide a few samples with Kydex shifted ~1/4" towards the trigger side, which would optimize the symmetry of leather about the nose of the barrel.

February 22, 2018 Update: 8" Clip Spacing Version is now posted.
http://www.czforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=5480.0March 5, 2018 Update 2.0: I've just gone ahead and repunched the (4mm) clip holes higher and wider, (~1/4" NE and ~1/4" NW of the 8" spaced holes) to result in just over 8 1/4" spacing (for even mo' beddah belt loop clearance) and somewhat-increased submersion. I like it even more and it's still a perfectly easy draw from its can't-be-snatched location. At 6' 2 1/2" tall, I've still got plenty of space below the tip of the barrel, but smaller proportioned folk might want to stick with the posted layout. This change doesn't expose any of the original holes from under the flange nuts so I'll probably not bother with yet another fresh start. The flange nuts remain fully inboard of the leather's contour.

The lower “V” profile has been sculpted with large radii to increase thigh clearance, and is thus a bit even more comfortable in full squat mode.

The screw-to-screw centerline dimension is 8-1/4” for purposes of verifying the scale of your printout.
I let blobs of Superglue harden overnight to seal & “Loctite” the threads from loosening.
Here’s an updated front view: if you look closely you can see that the DPM spring pack protrudes from the front of the frame.
