Cross draw holster for full size semi auto or revolver

[thedeal]

I'm looking for somewhat concealable cross draw holsters for full size semi autos (Glock 17) and up to an N frame revolver.

I realize cross draw isn't ideal for concealability but I appreciate any suggestions you have.

A three slot pancake is one option. If cross draw doesn't work you can just switch it over to strong side and use a different loop. The Simply Rugged Cuda is one such option.

Another option would be the Milt Sparks 55BN (or similar product from many makers). Bruce Nelson (the BN in the holster name) designed the straight drop version of the holster for cross draw use. Most folks use this holster strong side, so it will also work for you strong side if you don't like it cross draw.

Andrews offers their Saddle Style as a cross draw http://www.andrewsleather.com/traditional.htm

If you really don't care about concealability, holsters like the Comp-Tac International, Blade-Tech Classic, and Garrett Ranger can be worn cross draw.

I use a Bianchi Cyclone holster for my 4" 686 Smith and like it.

I've had good luck with Bianchi #111 Cyclone holsters as well. They can be used as crossdraw or strong side.

On my body, the typical mass-market cross-draw holster conceals poorly. I get better concealability results, in the cross-draw position, with a straight-vertical draw holster, but that slows the draw, somewhat. The compromise, that works better for the draw stroke, while not affecting concealability too badly, is the Kramer Cross Draw, a variant of his excellent Vertical Scabbard. When ordering from Kramer, I feel that horsehide is well worth the added expense.

I carry my model 10 in an El Paso Saddlery "double agent".

Works well enough. Fairly concealable too
