Collection: Crossdraw Holsters – Handmade Leather Holsters for Pistols & Revolvers

Leather Crossdraw Holsters Built for Comfort and Control

Crossdraw holsters are designed for situations where comfort and access matter most. By positioning the holster toward the front of the body, crossdraw carry allows a smoother, more natural draw—especially when seated, driving, riding, or spending long hours on your feet.

Our leather crossdraw holsters are shaped for balance and stability on the belt. Each holster is crafted to stay in position, distribute weight evenly, and maintain reliable retention throughout the day. This carry style is often preferred for outdoor work, horseback riding, and extended wear where traditional hip carry can feel restrictive.

A proper crossdraw setup depends heavily on belt support. Pairing your holster with a solid belt helps prevent sag, shift, and movement during daily use. Many customers choose from our Leather Belts, Cartridge Belts, or add an Ammo Holder to complete a stable, practical carry setup.

Why Choose a Crossdraw Holster?

Crossdraw carry places the holster forward of the hip, allowing for a smoother, more natural draw when seated or moving frequently between standing and sitting. This carry position reduces strain on the shoulder and lower back while keeping the firearm accessible in confined spaces such as vehicles or saddles.

Designed for Stability and Control

A proper crossdraw holster must stay anchored on the belt to work correctly. Our leather crossdraw holsters are molded to maintain their angle and ride height, helping prevent shifting during movement. Reinforced stitching and quality leather allow the holster to hold its shape as it breaks in.

Comfort for Long Hours of Wear

Leather naturally adapts to the body over time, making it well-suited for crossdraw carry. As the holster breaks in, it softens at contact points while retaining structure around the firearm. This balance improves comfort during extended wear without sacrificing retention.

Built to Work With a Supportive Belt

Crossdraw carry depends heavily on proper belt support. Pairing your holster with a sturdy belt helps maintain the correct draw angle and prevents sagging. For best results, use a belt designed to support holster carry from our Leather Belts collection.
