Nice one
Strong side hip. Definately not the thigh rig. I found that out the hard way and swore I will never wear one again. When its time to hall ass I dont want anything below my waist. Im not as tall and handsome like TR or Guy so I need to compensate my height with Speed and VOA.

I take it you have experienced drawing the entire holster with your pistol as well.
I looked at my sights thought what the hell is on my gun. Ho Sh*t thats my holster. First and only time I ever wore a paddle holster.

Strong-side hip.
The thigh holster is a specialty tool for wearing with armor.
I also agree with crossdraw for vehicles.

Strong side hip. Back up gun in holster on body armor. In civvies an IWB on strong side (during the week and a half of summer) or belt slide strong side (for our other season).

In light of the recent murders of the LEO's in Washington, and given how much time people spend in cars or seated at restaurants, etc.. What do you gentlemen think of cross draw carry? Isn't accessibility as important as retention? This is in no way a criticism or arm chair quarterbacking. I am curious what the reasoning behind the nearly unanimous strong side hip carry is.

Have you carried cross-draw before?
How do you plan to conceal ANY handgun carried in that manner year round?

And I'll add the photo-safari vest is not an option.

I carry strong side hip IWB (.45) and a baby Glock (.40) on my ankle. In the summer months, I just carry the baby Glock in my ankle holster. FYI as ugly as my legs are now, I don't wear shorts.
