Duh, really messed up my shoulder sometime ago and I have been having some issues drawing on my strong side. Been putting up with it for a number of years now. I finally sat down to think what can I do. Slapping myself and going duh cross draw holster would suit what I need. Anyone out there that does cross draw as your primary draw have any pointers on doing it and what to watch out for?
Oh and who makes a good one cross draw holster.
Look at FALCO holsters - they have 'em in black and brown leather, and ballistic nylon - and with thumb-breaks. If my suggestion to them to adapt their ROTO shoulder-holster to OWB and IWB versions in the near-future, youâll have an IWB you can wear as a cross-draw - the yoke that houses the holsterâs body will act as a shield/guard against clothes-snagging when you rotate the holster to make your draw or return. Time can only tell. FYI
I like iwb hybrid holsters a little more than kydex, but have used both ,adjustable cant is nice, Iâm right handed so holster works well when sitting or driving. no seatbelt issues. need to practice not flagging left arm/hand when drawing. so more info is needed type of firearm, reloads if needed, must be able to protect it from attackers

Called the Criss-Cross , If ya donât like the style âDeSantis Gunhideâ has a couple more stylesâŠ
I chose this one w/ the matching belt and dbl mag pouch⊠My right shoulder is giving
me rotator cuff issues lately and I am pretty damn fast with this set-up⊠My XDM looks good
wrapped in her too!
I want one for my full size 9mm kanyk and also my full sized Beretta 92.
have a fs Canik little harder to conceal cross side. grip is the issue
Look at Falcoâs # A804 âWalkerâ IWB holster in nylon - itâs an open top with a rotating belt clip, to adjust your cant for strong-side, appendix, cross-draw, and small-of-the-back carry - a 4-in-1 design. Use their gun-finder format carefully. They also offer 2 different belt-clips - 1.5" is the standard, and 2.0" for $2.95 extra on top of the $39.95 price. They make their holsters to order, unless they have one in stock.
Right now Iâm repurposing a leather holster I have for my 92S. Itâs a close fit but noticed the slide comes back a tiny bit making it in-op until I rerack the slide. I donât like that. I have now since ordered a holster designed for a Canik TP9.
If youâre shopping leather holsters, you might look for horsehide and âexoticâ leathers - sharkskin, rayskin, and crocodile/alligator. Stay away from suede liners - suede is a cheap, sleazy leather thatâs hardly fit for clothing - itâll pickup oil, grease, dirt and grit to attack your pistolâs finish. Iâve mentioned horsehide separately because itâs tanned differently than cowhide, and doesnât undergo the amount of stretch cowhide does. It doesnât require a liner, too - itâs also offered as âcordovanâ, named after Cordoba, Spain, which was a major center for leather, during the Muslim occupation. FYI
caniks mostly come with a holster, perhaps good enough for a time
I used to use it then the belt loops brokeâŠ
. It wasnât all that expensive, like $30.
