Two big drawbacks to this method: the end of the rope should not be on the gate side of the biner, plus you have to take the biner off your harness (don't drop it!).
Regarding the rope end, I've found this to be a personal preference - especially with the autolocking carabiner used in this example. With screwlocks, the tail can unlock the rope, and the intended function of the munter may position the tail so that it can unlock the screw gate.
As I use this hitch for mostly for rappelling using a tree climbing harness, it works best for me to rig it as shown here. I can draw the brake strand against the spine easily for a smoother rappel.

There is a one-handed Munter, but this isn't it.

как оказывается просто... а я каждый раз вспоминаю как же он вяжется. ))) Чтобы совсем навык не забыть, если вдруг понадобится.

A munter hitch can be pulled from either side of the rope and it still works just as effectively..
