carry "cross draw" or "same side draw"???
I'm sure this question has beed asked before... Sorry, I'm fairly new here. Just curious as to which carry is preferred. I prefer "cross draw" carry myself, seems more comfortable and easier access. Wondering if there is a preference of the majority and if so... why?

Re: carry "cross draw" or "same side draw"???
Crossdraw is more comfortable and convenient but there are two serious drawbacks.
1. The pistol is oriented to a potential gun grabber in a most opportunistic fashion.
2. You can cover innocent bystanders during the presentation and there is excessive, wasted motion in the drawstroke.

I normally carry strong side, but I do like crossdraw when I will be driving for long periods of time, as the gun is accessable and its not poking me.

I like crossdraw when carrying CC IWB. Strongside carry for OC'ing.
PlinkerMy dog "Ruger" is worried about the economy because Alpo is up to $3.00 a can. That's almost $21.00 in dog money.
Pray for our troops....and a little extra for our snipers.

4 o'clock here. I like crossdraw for long car rides though. Hunting lets me carry Doc Holiday style.

strong side between 3 & 4 o clock. Cross draw for long drives.
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms ... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants, they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." -- Thomas Jefferson

Re: carry "cross draw" or "same side draw"???
One reason why I don't like cross draw is your arm reaches across your body to draw...if your attacker puts his hand/arm/weight against your arm that's reaching, he can pin that arm against your body preventing you from drawing.

cross draw makes it a lot harder to clear your gun with your weak hand. At least for my body type.
I can reach behind my body and cross clear my gun (4 o'clock) with my left hand.
