A method of carrying a handgun where the firearm is drawn from the side opposite the dominant hand, typically from the front of the body. This carry style facilitates access for individuals who find traditional strong-side carry uncomfortable or impractical, such as while seated in a vehicle. For example, a right-handed individual utilizing this carry style would position the handgun on the left side of their body, drawing across their torso to acquire a firing grip.
The utility of this method lies in its accessibility in confined spaces and potential discretion under clothing. Historically, it provided an alternative for mounted individuals or those with limited mobility on their dominant side. The advantages include ease of access while seated and potential comfort for certain body types. However, considerations must be given to drawing speed and weapon retention compared to other carry methods.
