Default Best cross draw J frame holster?

Anyone of you carry cross draw, especially a j frame and if so what holster are you using? Galco makes a nice one but thought I would ask. Thanks...

I don't carry crossdraw, but have considered it. I like the J-frame crossdraw holsters by Side Guard Holsters. Might be worth checking out.

If I was going to carry a J Frame crossdraw, I would take a serious look
at Ken Null's Vampire.

I've used a Bianchi 111 Cyclone for years .... level 1 with thumb snap.

But my EDC is a 3913 in a Sparks Summer special.

I like vintage holsters, excellent 2" J frame cross draws by Lewis and Bucheimer for example, recently picked up a Thompson cross draw with safety strap, all in excellent shape and made for a lifetime of service.

I use a Bucheimer "Sheriff" model 32-11LH when I want to carry my S&W model 36 in cross draw fashion.

I bought a “Master’s holsters” crossdraw on ebay, it’s excellent. Good quality, sits just right.

For years, I've been carrying either a CA Undercover or S&W Chiefs Special in this neat little old Hunter, cross draw, when driving any significant distance.
