Default Automobile "holster"

I'd like to have easy access to my snubby when driving and was thinking of an ankle holster. I thought of wearing a cross-draw holster but wondered if anybody has other ideas.
Thanks.

Do a search, or look through my old posts. We just did a thread on this topic.

If you have any further questions, I'll be glad to help.

I usually wear a shoulder holster if traveling in a vehicle for lengthy periods. Of course, you need a garment to avoid anyone seeing the rig. Not a problem in the winter; I use a very light UA windshirt in the summer.

Be safe.

I carry in a crossdraw holster anyways which gives me decent access while driving but it could be better.

There are holsters made specifically for auto use. They clip on the seatbelt, or on your belt and hold the pistol in a horizontal position with the butt toward your strong hand. The link below is for a Ross driving holster.
