One-handed draw using safety device?

I'm uncertain whether this sub-forum is the proper location for my query. Moderator, if you believe it should be some other sub-forum, please move it.

I have never considered acquiring any but a slow, deliberate cross-draw, followed by a two-handed grip when using my single-action hunting revolvers. Holsters' safety straps are intended for security rather than ease of drawing revolver from holster.

I am interested in learning a more fluid, somewhat quicker one-handed draw from a cross-draw holster - a holster I do not possess. Please identify non-"quick-draw" cross-draw holsters for single-action revolvers that incorporated some sort of gun security device that is both safe and able to be released by the [single] hand drawing the revolver.

If this were a double-action revolver, a thumb break would be an obvious solution. But a thumb break that engage underneath and behind the hammer spur would preclude the more fluid, somewhat quicker one-handed draw I want to learn. I hope there are shooters who have dealt with this issue successfully.


It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it. Sam Levinson

I have a Thad Rybka with a hammer thong catch on it. I have worked some with it in order to get it loose using my thumb.

You may want to check Simply Rugged's website for a cross draw holster that may fit your needs. Rob Leahy is a stand up guy and will work with you if he doesn't already have the holster you are looking for.



If ignorance is bliss; there are some blissful sonofaguns around here. We know who you are, so no reason to point yourselves out.

I have added a lot of thumb break snaps/straps to holsters no reason one couldn't do that.

I have a Merknickle cross draw holster for a FA 97 with a thumb break.
It is very comfortable to wear, and fast to draw one handed.
