For a cross draw, I prefer to take up less space on the belt. I accomplished this with a modified pancake. You still have the traditional belt loop on the right (sight side) of the weapon, but the side of the leather against the body has an extra piece of leather sewn on. The belt is fed between the 2 layers, so the 2nd belt loop is hidden from the front view. This means there’s only enough leather exposed on the trigger guard side for your stitch line. This makes the weapon easier to grab. The extra piece of leather can be positioned to accommodate a steeper cant if desired.
Do you have a picture of this cross draw on your website? There is a pic for a 1911 for sale. Is that the one patterned on this Video? Would a similar pattern work well for a MP Shield? Does it hold close to the body? Thanks!
