A cross draw holster, or crosstalk holster, is a general term for holsters that are worn at an angle across the body. These holsters often have a horizontal orientation, with the handgun held on the side farthest from the dominant hand. This position is popular among hunters who carry their handguns as a backup to hunting rifles and shotguns. For example, many deer hunters carry a .410-bore shotgun when stalking or still hunting and a .357 Magnum revolver when working the field edges and feeding lanes.
Crossdraw holsters generally have one large strap that wraps around the torso to hold the handgun in place. Many also have additional straps or flaps that help retain the gun in different positions (such as sitting). The straps can be stowed when not needed and are useful when carrying larger guns that wouldn’t fit comfortably in your waistband. Crossdraw holsters also work well with large-frame revolvers that may be too heavy to carry regularly on your belt.
In this article, we will explain how to wear a crossdraw holster.
A cross draw holster is worn in front of the hip on the weak side. So if you are right-handed, it is worn on your left side and vice versa. The cross draw holster is an excellent choice for those who frequently find themselves seated in vehicles or furniture like a couch or chair where drawing from behind the hip would be difficult. This position is also advantageous if you are wearing a heavy coat or vest because it allows for more movement without the sidearm rubbing against your clothing and making noise as you move about.
The cross draw holster is also ideal for women because it places the firearm inside the waistband of your pants at roughly 4:00 (right-handed). The gun is usually placed so that the grip is just above belt level with the trigger pointing toward your belly button area. This allows for easy access when sitting down without being too obvious when standing up and walking around.
The crossdraw holster can be worn by men or women, there are no gender restrictions when it comes to wearing a crossdraw holster.
