I like this style when my wife and I ride our scooters together, and other times when my pocket holstered 3 inch SP101 doesn't fit the need. Some makers seem to ignore crossdraw for the Blackhawk altogether. Info would be appreciated. Thanks, Don

Here's one I got from Leathergun Leather Works.

It a southpaw cross draw with a matching belt and ammo holder. Since it's custom made, I'm sure he could do a thumb break for you.

I'm betting Ray at Lobo Gun Leather could hook you up real nice.

I carry crossdraw when out in the woods and would prefer to carry that way CCW, but sometimes it's just too difficult to do that effectively.

Bianchi and Galco make crossdraw rigs (Cyclone and Pheonix, respectively), but they are as expensive, if not moreso, than some custom makers.

Keep checking out the holster boxes at gun shows and the classifieds here. You can find some great finds.

Most crossdraw holsters now-a-days are built with SASS in mind. Meaning; no thumb break. But,, getting any good holster maker to add a thumb-break to a standard crossdraw shouldn't be an issue.
