TX... Was that you in the photo's?
That's pretty much what my daughter and son-in-law taught me when they came back from their classes at Gunsite.
But, I carry weak side cross draw, because I'm usually wearing a vest or a coat (jacket, suit etc.) and I use my left hand to pull my garment away from my weapon, while at the exact same time I am reaching across my body with my right to make the draw. (I can also cross my arms while studying the situation, with my strong hand already on the handle of my weapon, long before drawing it if needbe without raising much suspision if any that I even have a weapon.)
Then, once I've cleared my holster, my weak (support) hand cradles the weapon, arms bent, body sightly forward and I'm gaining my front site picture.
By carrying weak side I free my weapon while in the car, it's now no longer strapped in by a seat belt and therefore it is much easier to access while driving. No, I am not an advocate of taking my gun out and laying it under a towel. I wish my weapon to remain on my body if at all possible... that way I remain in total control of it.
