I have a SWK nightstalker standard and don't have the problem with the back apron droop but as I wear a 23 inch drop I have to hike it up an inch. I'm 5' 9" and rather short coupled. At 5' 6" a 24 inch drop in no doubt too long. I'm sure that if you drop Jerry a line he'll set you to rights. SWK has excellent customer service.
