Dedicated cross draw holsters for small frame revolvers can be tough to find. I carry cross draw when driving in my vehicle on lengthy trips ( 36, 640, and CA Undercover ). I look for a quality leather holster with neutral cant. And simply wear it on my left side in cross draw mode. Works great and very comfortable. This little Hunter is what works for me cross draw.

Galco Leather has their holsters on sale at 25% off. They have crossdraw holsters. I carry my Glock 43X in one and am very pleased with it.
Check with Mark at "lobogunleathers.com"
And that, IMNSHO, is the only time you should do it.

A Simply Rugged Silver Dollar Pancake would give you a cross-draw option.

I also have a "The Master's" holster, it's an open top paddle with adjustable cant, so it can be adjusted to be worn as a strong side carry or cross draw.
I adjust it to cross draw when driving on trips, I like the option a paddle gives me for being able to easily take it off and put it back on as the need arises... like in a public restroom stall where I don't want something dangling from the pants around my knees/ankles
#4200 fits a 2" J-frame.

I got a the cross draw holster from Craft Holster custom made for my 2" 60. Long delivery time during the plandemic but it was worth the wait
I have a Tagua for my 3" Model 60s. Not very expensive. I found several vintage Bucheimer crossdraws on Ebay. Every one is a good, solid holster. As a pretty frequent user of that style over 40+ years, I can really recommend either as a good choice for not much money.
Around this campfire not only is that extremely rude it's also incorrect because that's what everyone gives, opinions. Or is a recommendation not an opinion? Just curious....maybe it's different where you live.

I'm surprised you haven't gotten a lot more negative responses regarding cross draw. I have had people tell me all kinds of absolutely ridiculous reasons for not carrying crossdraw. It has even been suggested that somebody could walk up and stick their hand into my shirt and feel around for a gun (paraphrased, not a quote). That is a really quick way to get knocked out. I have been carrying crossdraw for a few years now with no issues. I don't use a crossdraw holster. It was actually intended to go at about the 4 o'clock position. The reverse direction causes the butt to sit in close which hides the gun really well but
it still draws quickly and securely. It works well for me. It is comfortable and always accessible. There have been times where I've been home for hours and suddenly realize I'm still carrying. That's how comfortable it is. Not everyone's cup of tea but it works for me.

I've got a DeSantis cross draw for my Shield. Works well in the truck, but is almost impossible to conceal, even in cold weather months. They make one called a Roscoe Cross Draw for the J frame. Won't break the bank and DeSantis is decent quality.

I occasionally wear a cross-draw with my SW442 when driving.

Seems well made, inexpensive ($35 shipped), and works for me.
