does it facilitate a cross draw? this would be good for driving while wearing a loose shirt or Hawaiian shirt

it does, just slide it around to the position you want your weapon to be in.

I would not consider this a left hand draw as the pistol sits slightly angled forward in the holster. This holster is designed to sit inside the waist on your side or on the small of your back. I would think the angle would make a left draw rather difficult or akward.

I carry a glock 17 on one side and two fully loaded magazines on the other and it works just fine. It actually helps balance the weight out pretty well. As far as jumping up and down, I have done everything and the most that has happened is that the shirt will ride up just a little. I would imagine that the more movement you do, the more the shirt will ride up. I ordered my shirt tight enough that it stays fairly well put, even with a lot of movement. If you are not sure about the size, go small. You might feel confined (more like a compression shirt) but it would restrict the movement of your gun and magazines.

I've never had an issue with this knife and the sheath while wearing light clothes; however the clothes should be semi-tight on you or supported (i.e. tie the string on your shorts). There have been some answers suggesting a light belt but I have found the string on my running shorts is good enough if you have a strong pull. You won't give yourself a "wedgie" though the shorts do rise a little bit before the sheath gives. This is a really good overall knife in my humble opinion and I enjoy carrying it regardless of what I am wearing or where I am going since it is very versatile. The knife was my first purchase from Cold Steel but it will be far from my last purchase.

If you had a jacket on - then yes. If you had a light shirt on, maybe no. I wear it while jeeping in the AZ desert and in the early morning hours I have a light shirt on and it looks like my side is bulding out a bit. Concealed would not be a good word. The Govenor is a "canon" of a gun and it holds up well in this holster. But together it's a bit bulky.

Purchased this for an S&W Governor. In my opinion , no. The Governor itself is rather large. It is held high in the scabbard and canted forward. It would probably work under a heavy or loose jacket, no way under a shirt. I tried it under a loose fitting shirt and on this nonfat guy it stuck out. I don't think the Governor is very good at concealed carry anyway due to size. It isn't the most accurate revolver firing .45s due to the unrifled gap in the cylinders. Wouldn't think shotgun loads are a good carry idea outside the house where other people are around. Good though for obliterating snakes in the desert landscape. I do think it is a good, very easy to point self defense piece inside the house. Amazon carries a DeSantis dual angle holster which is sleeker and allows cross-draw mounting. I think that one would be more concealable.It looks like it would fit flatter. It does not, however, cover the trigger which is problematic to some.

It is my opinion that this holster would not work as concealed carry. It was not intended to do that duty. It also requires a specific maneuver to draw the weapon. Normally concealed carry should be easy and quick to draw.

I carry mine on a S&W; M&P40c;, in an IWB holster. I generally can "touch" it on when drawing my weapon. Be sure to set it as far BACK on you weapon as the rail allows, and you can reach it with your trigger or middle finger to turn it on when drawing. I have had NO problems with it turning itself on accidentally, even when re-holstering the weapon.

I would say not. Though it is primarily held via magnets, I still believe the method of draw would not be what you would want for cross draw use. For strong side carry there are few, if any, faster rigs once you practice and are proficient. I absoluttely love mine for my Glock 17 modified. Please feel free to contact me off line for any further questions you may have.

I don't think so, I use it for my shield 40. I carry everyday and so far have not had any trouble with it.I also use mine as a cross draw and wear mine just in front of my left hip.

It would depend on how you wish to wear it. I'm a right-handed shooter and I wear it on my right hip at the 4 o'clock position with the mag well to the rear. I absolutely love this holster from that draw. I carry my full-size H&K P30 and numbers of people have commented on how well I conceal a full-size pistol IWB. If you were going to carry an inverted draw, this may be a tough holster for that. Also, I would not recommend a soft holster like this if you have a trigger - mounted safety such as the Glocks or my new VP9. I strongly recommend a more rigid holster for those types of pistols simply to prevent inadvertent firing when reholstering. I hope this helps you choose.

I do not use it while driving. I sit very erect while driving. I use it when sitting in a recliner and need to support the back of my head. I have used it to sleep in the recliner when I had pain. It give good support and is comfortable I have tried.

No its not constructed to tuck a shirt between the holster and the clip. A shirt has to be worn loose out side the holster clip.

It can certainly be used without a belt because of its design. However, you risk having slight difficulty drawing your gun because the belt is what keeps the holster in-place during the draw. Also, I wouldn't recommend using an out-of-pants holster with athletic shorts/pants. It doesn't work because of the weight of the gun. Overall, I'd say that you're much better off using this product with a belt.

The teather loops around your belt, the clip goes over the trigger and you wear the gun in your waistband. It is ambidextrous. There is a video on youtube that demonstrates how to wear and use it.

Yes...and it is meant to be drawn with a right handed grip. You draw it out in a left leg forward lunge position. Two things... make sure you check to see that you are selecting the correct holster. I bought mine and had to return it because the pictures were inconsistent. This particular one does not have a thumb-break (naturally it is more secure with TB). Also, when selecting between right or left handed holster you need to take into consideration whether you are carrying it as a back-up gun or not. If it is not as a back-up gun then the right handed holster is the way to go. Hope this helps. Yes...and it is meant to be drawn with a right handed grip.
