Default Cross Draw Holster Mod 15

Due to health reasons I can no longer carry strong side. Looking for a leather cross draw for my Model 15 2 inch. Thank you for your input

Default CROSS DRAW

Hard Nose: Look up Lobogunleather on the internet. He's a retired LEO who makes excellent holsters at fair prices.

Did Bianchi ever make the cyclone for a 2" K frame?

Side Guard Holsters offers a cross-draw holster. While I don't have one, I do have one of their Quick Clip holsters and I like it quite a bit. Very good quality.

Another recommendation for LOBO gun leather, as well as members Snubbyfan and Eaglestroker.

I have a Lobo "crossdraw" snapon for a 2.25" Sp 101. It can be worn crossdraw or appendix carry. My shoulders and range of motion of same are not what they used to be. The appendix carry works for me. I also can carry with it on Crossdraw. I have a dozen Lobos and will probably order at least one more. Got em for revolver and auto and in mahagony and black basketweave.

God bless!

No offense intended to any other good holster maker, but Ken Null makes fantastic holsters, including an excellent cross-draw holster. Check out his XDR. Ken's holsters are made of horsehide, and the molding is done properly. There is no need for straps as the molding is so good that the weapon will not fall out even when turned upside down and shaken. Yet, draw is instantaneous, with very little break-in required - 50 draws perhaps. No need for baggies, your own wet-molding after you receive because the fit isn't right, or any other nonsense that you hear from other makers. Ken's holsters will last a lifetime. I have been a satisfied customer for decades. Ken also delivers product VERY fast.

I make holsters for classic sixguns like yours, but only old school style stuff. Her's one for a cut down Colt New Service. It's strong side but can easily be made cross draw.

In addition to the above options , any of the 3 slot pancakes. ( They are problematic for those of us with Dunlop Syndrome , but they do work well for some.)

Do you currently carry it in a belt holster on your strong side? Can't you just turn it around and carry it on your weak side?

With a vertical holster , *sometimes* . With an FBI tilt , not really.

As implied in my above post , crossdraws are somewhat physice dependent. Depending on ones arm length , shoulder flexability , and spare tire , some people can use a vertical at 9:00 position , and others ( me ) need a degree of grip forewards tilt and/ or positioning farther forewards.

Lobo makes a pancake that can be worn strong or cross draw. I have one for a 2 inch M19 and like it a lot.

RE: Shawn Mccarver's comments about Ken Null. I want to add
my "Amen". Great fitting custom holster from day one. The last one I ordered showed up in my mail box in less than two weeks.
Almost unheard of for custom, or anything else for that matter.
