Any store in the Phoenix (preferrably north) area have a selection of cross-draw holsters? I went into Scottsdale Gun Club to take a look but, the gunstore commando who was ostensibly supposed to be selling stuff just couldn't get off his harang about how they don't allow cross-draw holsters in the classes they teach at the range. Apparently, the idea of using a gun somewhere other than a range was a little  beyond his conceptual ability and experience level.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

A regular holster slid over to your other side. Instant cross-draw.

A cross draw holster is an open invitation to someone to take your gun and use it on you!

unless it is for a car or something, I am left handed and always put my gun right by the seatbelt latch when in the car, it is easier to reach than if it were on my left side

I'm fully aware of the drawbacks of cross-draw ( and strong-side and shoulder) holsters. I have a particular application in mind for this.

You can order the Desantis skycop direct off their website--I think $52

An annoying internet sales place, but I ironically received spam about crossdraw holsters right after reading this thread.

Doesn't Galco have a showroom or something?

Contrary to most all Hollywood westerns, I prefer a cross draw holster when atop a horse. Even when working a rope, I prefer it on the off side. In most sitting situations it is comfortable & accessible.

I don't understand this. Cross draw holsters usually align near the front/offside. I oft times don't see the obvious, could you elaborate some?

Its no different than the strong side carry. Protect your gun side, were ever that may be.

Yup, and I got my Miami Classic there!

The only downside is that their factory store is ONLY open on Fridays for limited hours.  Make sure you call first.

FWIW,
