Looks like you are set up for a right hand cross draw. I guess the pistol goes on the strong side?
That's the idea, but most of the time my gun is in my pack or in the passenger seat since a lot of the "outdoor" places I go to are surrounded by freeways and houses. When I am really able to get away from the city it goes on the hip.
I find crossdraw to be a little easier unsheathing and sheathing the really big blades too.
