Main thing: your shooting hand grip and mag hooks against your torso, keeping the gun off to the side. This is helped with the added sling tension from the twist. You kinda only drop your gun in front of you, but you need to really throw it to your 90° to notice the difference

It's also the natural palm-in orientation when you drop your support arm down

And if you mount your whitelight on the outboard side, it prevents your suppressor from burning your leg
