Cross draw

I do,i think it is by far the best as there is no "coat flip" to draw in the Winter.Also in a vehicle it is by far the easyer method to draw.I also like the idea of drawing with either hand ala "twist draw".

Not yet, have not found a good holster for that purpose yet.
I use a Vega holster that I bought for abt 12.00 at a show. That was the last time I saw the sellers of the holster. Its made of a thinner leather. The clip that slips over the belt can be moved from side to side. I carry a 66 21/2" on my left side inside the waist. Easier to draw for me. I can move the belt clip and carry on my left side outside the belt for hikes at the gun club. Good holster for cheap. Made in Italy. Larry

The Bell Charter Oak "Co-Pilot". My original crossdraw design.

I use a Bianchi IWB holster for my S&W 4040 or 1066. I would prefer strong side, but I have not found a way where the handle won't stick out. With cross draw, I find my gun rarely prints on me and it is comfortable. I can bend over, reach for something, etc and it doesn't show. The one plus to this, as mentioned, is that strongside can be hard to draw from inside a vehicle, where cross draw is simpler to reach in that instance.

I have a new and very tight Brommeland IWB holster. I think cross draw will work better with my Kimber. Might be different if/when it loosens up just a bit. Also, so far, it feels more natural. Maybe I was a Mexican bandido in a previous life.

Fist cross draw
I occasionally use a Fist #42 Driving holster. It's quite handy especially when seated for lengthy periods of time.

Most of my holster styles are available in cross-draw configuration.

Cary, talk to me before you "cross over." And if that Max-Con V is still too tight, remember, "More waxed paper!"

I prefer strong-side hip. I was trained to avoid having to draw across your body, as in a "contact distance" confrontation. The weapon is more accessible to your attacker as it crosses your body.
Strong-side hip allows speed-rock access at contact distance if necessary and always will keep the weapon away from target once you "blade-off" going into Weaver or Cooper stance.
Just my opinions.

And also the opinions of most of us instructor-types. Cross-draw is a good option for vehicle carry, although I like a diagonal-type shoulder rig, like a Galco Miami Classic better, since it does not interfere with a shoulder harness or seat belt. Otherwise, unless physical disabilities of some kind make a big difference, strong side hip is a better choice, and is much more concealable, unless the crossdraw rig is worn so far back that it's very difficult to reach.

Yes I use a S&W 627PC 3with a cross draw holster for same, as sold by S&W.
I have a CCW and carry strong side for most applications, however when hunting I found that a slung rifle would bang against my sidearm when carried strong side (even IWB). Concern over the finish on both firearms led me to order a cross draw rig from Kramer for my M21 TRR .44, which eliminated this problem. I feel it is also an advantage from an access standpoint when wearing a coat (as mentioned above). Sad to say that as I get a bit older and less slim, I find concealment with this rig and N frame revolver to improve (i.e., the butt is not sticking out - it is alongside).

I carry strong side, but my wife prefers cross draw with a K&D Maverick Defender.

I have too much real estate out in front of me for that. I would like too but I feel my gut is in the way. I carry IWB, middle of the back in a left handed holster for right handed drawing.
