Don't think that's called a cross draw, that would be on the strong side.
Anyway, I finally found a holster that works comfortably for G17 and can be easily taken off - Fobus Paddle - but I find it much harder to conceal with butt of the gun facing rear. With gun on my weak side and the butt facing forward, the handle sort of follows the shape of my body and is much easier to hide without drawing attention. To pull it out I do have to reach across my gut though, which may be a problem in some theoretical situations (although since G26 works so well for me I am unlikely to carry G17 much).
