CROSS draw HOLSTER

You should figure out exactly how you'd like it made first. Do you want it on a belt or with straps?
There are some good holster makers in Canada that can pretty much make you what ever you want....
el paso saddlery make nice holsters for a fair price and their web page shows lots of different designs.

There's a guy locally that I used to work with years ago, that does some pretty decent leather and holster work. Here's a couple he made for me.
1st a John Wayne style gun belt for my 5 1/2" old model Ruger Vaquero in 45LC.



2nd, one he made for my 4 5/8" SS Ruger convertable 45ACP/45LC. Patterened along the line of one by Bianchi called The Lawman.



I'll PM you a scan of his business card for contact info. ;)He's not into computers. He shouldn't have any trouble making up a cross draw rig for you.

What's it to me?

1. A vested interest in not acquiring extra orifices due to someone else's poor muzzle discipline.
2. Curiosity. Due to legitimate concerns with point 1, most ranges do not permit drawing from either a cross draw or shoulder holster. It may well be that there are some that do. Maybe they require the shooter to use the leftmost lane (if right-handed) or maybe they permit it when nobody else is around. I don't know; that's why I ask.
 
El Paso Saddlery also has a nice 1942 Tanker holster, that is basically a high riding cross draw. I'm getting one for the 1911, but it is available for wheel guns as well. Anyways, another option.
 
For people with range restrictions and people competing in cowboy action shooting ...
What are the restrictions?
Nothing more then a certain amount of cant?
The tanker shoulder holster mentioned above is a fairly vertical set up and allows a person to draw the gun without sweeping to the side or back of the line. Would it be ok at a range with restrictions?

The clubs I know just don't allow them at all other than for cowboy action. And the cowboy action rules limit how they are designed, worn and used to ensure that they can be used safely without sweeping anyone.

Other than CAS there's no allowance for any other design at all. With far too many styles to consider I'd suspect that most clubs would have the same sort of rules.

Right on, our club is small so it doesn't seem to be an issue at this point as there are not many people using holsters and those that do seem to understand how to use them safely.
Would a "Doc Holiday" set up like the one pictured above be acceptable to cowboy shoots?
