There are strong opinions about hip, or other means, versus cross-draw. The only way you will determine which is best in your own mind is to try both. Here in the forum you’re going to get a lot of just opinion.
An objection to cross-draw is sweeping to the side. How much this is a concern in a true SD situation is probably very little, not that it should be ignored, but in a real SD I doubt if legal code is running through one’s mind.
If you don't already have a cross-draw holster:
An example for a normal right hand draw person is to remove the holster from the normal belt, if a gunbelt is used, and thread your dress belt through it to mount the holster at about 9 o’clock. Use whatever works (tie-wrap, string, etc.) to angle the gun forward at about 45 degrees with the butt at 10 o’clock.
For a left handed person, reverse these positions.
Practice the cross-draw and practice however you otherwise draw. The difference in speed of one versus the other will be apparent without needing a timer.
