None. Crossdraw for CCW and a 1911 just doesn't work as well as a good to great holster, IWB, strong side at 3-4 o'clock.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

Unholster while in the truck, and set it on the seat next to you or stick in between the seat cushions. When you get out, reholster.

I don't carry crossdraw but I have missed you Thanks brother.... Trying to figure out if I can mosy over for the IB-5. Most times during winter I have a couple three layers on, and generally the last two are hoodies. I just fingered it may be easier to pack in a crossdraw.

I won't be at IB-5 but there is a shoot in Jordan in June that I plan on shooting in.
It'll be warmer.

I prefer OWB holsters that have an 'extra' belt loop that allows a regular strong side holster to be worn cross draw. My go-to for OWB has been Bianchi and they have a lot of options.
Cross draw works just fine around here for CCW about half the year.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

I had the exact same Bianchi, but sold it, as I hated the thumb snap strap.
I've got a strong side leather Heinie, an Old World belt slide, a couple of kydex Fotis', a Blackhawk CQC kydex, and maybe a couple more somewhere around here.
That's why I'm asking about a cross draw....I like options.....

Fobus Roto Paddle works reasonably well & won't break the bank.
Gun angle can be rotated for strong side or cross draw, OWB.

That looks sweet...you got one? I was looking at one the other day that is similar, but had an extra piece of leather between the handle and skin. Suppose that's needed?

I don't normally do too much froggin' around in the cab to think my pistol's gonna get away....
