Up here on the Tundra I carry cross draw. Why you might ask. Because we wear multi layers of clothing. I'm right handed and foud it much more covienent and faster to use my left hand to pull a garment out of the way rather than fiddleing around right handed trying to find my way to my pistol.

My left hand and right hand move simultaneously and after much testing my draw is much quicker cross draw when battling layers of clothing.

Also during the summer I found the cross draw preferable to right hand carry. It does not print the pistol. I'm 5'11" and weigh Not quite 150#. It is much easier to snuggle a Pancake Holster into my side. Because I'm so bony anything worn inside the pants is out of the question. It chaffs and rubs me raw. Worn under a sport shirt or Henley shirt I have no printing problems and can draw quickly. I do not tuck in shirt tails. They hang loose. I tried the Magnum PI kidney carry and that was a PITA literaly. Didn't work at all in a vehicle.

My prefered carry firearms are #1, A Caspian Framed 45 ACP Officers Model, #2, Ruger Security Six, 357 Mag. both in Kirkpatrick Leather. The Ruger has been tricked out and utilizes Moon Clips. Very quick to reload. In some ways I prefer it over the 45. I practice..................a lot. People at the range are surprised at how quickly I can re-load and get off 6 more shots.

Best wishes, Bill
