the one handed charging concept caught my attention.... I keep a G45 in the console not charged... I had an extra slide racker from the Recover Tactical kits that I did not use with the dot sights, so stuck it on the G45... pick up, and charge the pistol on the edge of the console...
 a little expensive as a stand alone, but had two lying around... but does the job well for my intent

Living in Illinois, and working in Chicago, means that concealed is king.  I like a magnet that is that strong for retention.  Currently I just take the holster out of my pocket and place the holstered gun under my thigh.  I can draw with my righthand very easy without any contortions.

As far as racking the slide, I always carry loaded, so that is not an issue.

My mind instantly went to Quad .50s. I guess I'm old school, but in the case of quad .50s, Old School Rocks! 🤘 Rock On Dudes!!! In Vietnam they also mounted these on the back of short-bed drop-side 5-ton cargo trucks if I'm not mistaken. I remember seeing pics of them mounted on some kind of cargo truck somewhere but the details are fuzzy.

On a regular car you could quad-mount .50s in a turret on the roof, but they'd have to be Desert Eagles instead of Ma Deuces.

When I saw that video my first thought was, if you need to rack the slide you're carrying it wrong. Several days ago I was thinking, what would be the easiest holster to draw from when you're driving? My conclusion was it's a chest rig. It may be nice when you're handgun hunting with big iron, but maybe not so great for every day open carry, and not easy to conceal if you aren't wearing a down parka. BTW, a couple of the agents in the Miami shootout had their handguns under their thigh. The keyword there is HAD, before they were in a car chase or collision. I personally haven't been involved in many car chases but I've had way more than my share of collisions. Stated simply, s*it goes flying, and as those FBI agents found out before they were shot, you can't always find those things when you need them. I've hit potholes hard enough to bounce my foot off the gas pedal. My left foot tends to stay more planted but still bounces if I get jarred hard enough, and I'm not sure how well a pistol would stay put under either thigh with the car-swallowing potholes we have. If we had good roads, and I never crashed into other vehicles, by accident or on purpose, it wouldn't be a problem.

I wonder if you could put a full length guide-rod for a Government Model in a Commander to serve as a muzzle standoff? That would give you 3/4" if it worked which would be better than 0". Not for ankle carry, but concealed elsewhere. Use your imagination. :o

Someone already makes 3 different size muzzle standoff devices for various Glocks. https://www.proofmarkllc.com/shop/muzzle-stand-off-device-msd-g19

  Just add a flash light that sticks an inch out past the front of the muzzle. Gives you the muzzle standoff.

There are a bazillion 1911s out there without rails to mount a flashlight on.
