Default Desantis criss cross holster for shield

Has anyone tried this holster?

This does it work well and can you use the 8 round mag and still be comfortable? I have the shield 1.0 version.

I like that it doesn't point to my family jewels unlike appendix carry. Wish it allowed both IWB in addition to OWB.

I haven’t used the Criss Cross holster, but it looks like a pretty good cross draw holster.

I may try one. They are inexpensive so if I don’t like it, it’s no big deal to resell it or stick it in the box where I keep holsters I don’t use.

I was also thinking about the Desantis Osprey. But I think for cross draw I would have to buy the left hand version. As a right handed dominate person to cross draw. The osprey can be IWB or OWB. But doesn’t have the angle like the cross cross which I like.

I've got a Desantis Criss Cross for the LCP II/Max. Don't use it often but it is pretty decent and priced low enough it is worth buying to experiment with cross draw carry.

Is it comfortable to sit with. Like in a car?

Seems like can only use with untucked longer shirt. Even a t shirt may not conceal it. And expose the gun the second one reached up to grab say an item off the top shelf of grocery store etc. So I wonder about practicality of concealment.

Maybe a tuck able cross draw would be better for me. again maybe the Desantis osprey???

I can't give a super comprehensive answer. My 2 dedicated cross draw holsters have spent way more time in the holster box than on my belt line. A lot will depend on your belly size. I'm not some orcha fatty but do have a bit extra in the midsection. When sitting down say in a car if you've got a lot of belly hanging over it may not be the most comfortable.

At a low enough price it's worth trying. Good luck

Wish it was IWB capable. Sometimes have to wear tucked in shirts.
