    Please don't take this comment as a bad criticism as the series is fairly good. You don't really point out why cross draw is not common now. Cross draw can be argued the holster that allows for the fastest draw for the least about of time invested in training. The problem with it is that it for uniformed law enforcement a subject/offender would be able to easily attack the position and strip the wearer as the grip would be pointed directly at the subject. It would also be a pain to defend such an attack as its on your weak side. When I started in LE safety holsters were just coming into vogue. There were no cross draw safety holsters at the time. I am not sure if things have changed. The department for which I worked would not allow cross draw on uniformed for the aforementioned reasons.
