"Okay we are going to get into the cross draw which I just spoke briefly about in the last segment which is in essence the same exact thing. Support side holster which is for me to wear properly just like this. I would come here, draw it and wear it here. Even though I am not dominantly left handed, I could wear this holster on my support side. Same thing would be like I said earlier from a cross draw. I could buy a holster that was designed for cross draw and I could wear it on my support side. Even though I am still strong hand dominant, I could always carry my weapon over here and assess it and use it if need be. Again, not a very common practice in law enforcement and military. Normally the weapon stays on your strong side but it still has its place. A lot of people still believe in cross draw for whatever reason so it still has its place but it is very uncommon practice especially in law enforcement today. "

on 8/2/2008 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.
