I would respectfully recommend that you consider going with a strong side carry - something from 3:00 to maybe 4:30. That position allows you to draw in a straight line with your target without ever pointing the gun at yourself or anyone else. It will also be more comfortable, concealable, and much safer. In actual gunfights, a significant number of folks actually discharge their firearm as soon as the trigger clears the holster due to the physiological effects of high stress. If that happens with your crossdraw, you'll most likely shoot yourself, or a bystander (or both). If it occurs with a strong side carry, at most you'll put a hole in a pair of pants and burn your butt cheek while the round goes into the dirt behind you.
Every single shooting course I've attended has strongly emphasized strong side carry, as has every single instructor I've ever asked. With the rare exceptions of chauffers, dignitary protection folks, pilots and stake-out squads, this is the only position advocated by professional level trainers or operators. Please feel free to call us for a free phone consultation if you have any further questions. Good luck!
