I carry two thrid model dragoons all day in a cross draw holster at out events and I am 70 years old !Never had no issues,,on them ,,use a wide belt i make holsters so i use the early slim jim styles in fact even on my 186os as well ,there is no problem useing a belt across your chest stuff thats dumb to begin with or something on your back!!How di the people long ago use them?? they carried on their waists wide belts,,sometimes this stuff is so self explainable it hurts to read it!
