Side draw or cross draw

I was curious about what people's preferences were and why in regards to practicality and response time.

Cross draw?

Come on, this isn't an episode of Miami vice.

Strong side draw is the best, fastest and most efficient.

depends....I would think  cross draw would be faster if one is sitting down (say in a car)...strong side draw is faster on any other screnario

a convertible holster would be the best, since you'll have both cross and side draw.

Isn't this some what a moot point in Hawaii where you can't ccw or even open carry?

Either way, why not mention back carry (in the waistband/in the small of your back) or Mexican carry (in the front of your pants without a holster)?

most people recommend against carrying in the small of your back, if you fall you can do some serious injury to your spine that way. And people have.  And the only people who are stupid enough to carry without a holster probably would be doing the world a favor by blowing their balls off  :thumbsup:

Its funny you mentioned that because I used to wear a belt holder on my duty belt centered with my spine and fell on my back. For how small that belt holder was, it felt like I fell on a bumbucha marble. I can only imagine a pistol.
