The trouble I see with cross-draw, is that the instant you start to draw, it will be obvious. Again, with a draw from the dominant side, you can turn away from the threat, and "disguise" the draw. It also allows you to raise your left hand (or right if lefthanded) in the universal "don't shoot I will obey" sign or gesture, and a verbal "warning" that you are going for your wallet/money. Also more opportunity to "stage" your draw, get your hand on the gun which cuts down on the draw- time quite a bit. ? Make sense?what about something in belted cross-draw? after all a shoulder holster is a cross-draw configuration.
I see the same problem with shoulder holsters, the draw becomes obvious as soon as it begins. Now I ain't no gun-fighter, never been in a gun fight, (have looked down a few barrels though) and I'm pretty sure it's not like those training classes where you face a paper target at 90 degrees, draw and fire on command. Like Josey Wales said, "it's good to have an edge". "Disguising" a draw, if possible, would be a pretty good "edge". !!!!
