[QUOTE="Engineman1960, post: 1614933, member: 9220"] When I was growing up (mid 1960's) I remember the Strategic Air Command Air Police worn cross draw holsters (I don't recall any other Air Force Air Police wearing cross draw holsters), I also remember the bone handle grips on their revolvers; I also recall the Florida Highway Patrol had cross draw (1970's) holsters on their duty uniforms ( Someone once told me they carried S&W model 66 then); Lastly I remember a black and white (the book was probably written during the 60's) book about the FBI and in it an agent was drawing his revolver using a cross draw under his suit coat jacket. My question is -- Was the cross draw better? -- Was it the flavor of the month? -- Some new training technique at the time? If someone could shed some light. Thanks [/QUOTE]
