Saw a customer at Midwest Gun Exchange carry two 1911 style pistols in reverse IWB holsters at the small of his back. He wasn't even wearing suspenders
IWB, not OWB like this?
Yes, this movie sucked, and I'm not a fan of the gold plated 1911s, but I always thought this method of carry was pretty freakin' cool.
Impractical, potentially dangerous, but cool.

As long as you don't have to drive anywhere that takes longer than 5 minutes!!! That is making my back sore just thinking about driving an hour with that rig.

On a more serious note, I've always thought that cross-draw looked more comfortable than strong side. I don't carry cross draw currently, but would love to find a holster for my Beretta 92 that I could still conceal fairly comfortably.

One thing I saw that really made me think about crossdraw (and when I get the cash and finish losing the gut I'm going to do it), is that if someone makes a grab for your gun, you can cover the holster with your weak arm while still being able to use your strong arm for punching, drawing a knife, establishing space, etc.
I don't carry that often, since where I work is a hospital setting, and I really don't have a gun that I want to attempt to CC- my two smaller guns are ones I inherited from my father after he passed, and my other is a 6" Ruger Security Six- still looking for a holster for that behemoth. Trying to figure out the best option for a holster, and for now looking at either a shoulder holster or a bandolier. I have experimented with carry options, and prob my favorite for carrying multiple guns would be to have my S&W Regulation Police revolver on my hip in an OWB holster, and my Beretta Minx in an IWB at 6 o'clock or OWB at about 11 o'clock for cross-draw.
Define "old", Pablum breath!
Single cross draw suggest somebody that hunts a lot and also carries a rifle 
As for the position making for self inflicted wounds during high stress..........I bet such tards would blast themselves from other carry positions.
Dual crossdraw IMHO suggests a cheap old bastid carrying two of something Taurus LMAO

I have a friend of mine who uses a left handed holster on his right hip to cross draw his xd40. I believe it's a horrible way to draw in a defensive situation! It takes too much time and it would be hard to draw with your right hand if your left arm was tied up in the fight. I wear my G26 at 4:30 so I can draw with either hand. Just my 2 cents.
