Straw Hat, you are correct, that was mental lapse on my part and I have edited it. Thank you

Pisgah, you should check your sources. Wikipedia states "The pistol was in a covered holster carried high on the cavalryman's right side, but was placed butt-forward for crossdrawing by the left hand. " and notes reliable references are needed. The current wiki article relies on the movies as its source for the "cavalry draw" But it is just semantics, if you want to say it is not a cross draw go ahead. But please consider the safety hazards in that particular cavalry draw style.
