Cross-draw? Sure, why not.

As for drawing while seated in a car or restaurant, I carry in a Brommeland Max Con V, at 3:30 - 4:00 o'clock. Gary Brommeland designed the
Max Con V to be easier to draw from while seated. The back belt loop is a little larger than the front which tilts the gun a tad more forward. I have no difficulty drawing while seated anywhere.

Holsters and draw method are a choice peculiar to most. It's about body type, comfort, etc. So, I'm not arguing, just saying:

Let's call your preferred carry a '4:00'.
Regardless of the holster...a draw from 4:00 while seated requires an awkward and highly telegraphed reach.
The butt is against the seat so you must lean away from the seat to make room for your elbow...raise your elbow way up to grasp the gun....raise your elbow even higher to pull it....and then try to get a bead on the threat. No quick-draw there.

Now, a crossdraw allows the hand to easily grasp the butt...whether seated at a movie, in a car or your hand under a table in a restaurant or hidden by a carried newspaper, coat, etc while walking.....all in a very stealthy mode. Crossdraw doesn't telegraph from front or rear and is extremely concealable and is hard to be 'made'.

There was a time when I carried 4:00 and 3:00. I soon learned that was a big mistake for me.

"the US Army has always forbidden cocked and locked carry. "

TRUE. Except, given what I know about US army small arms doctrine and training, that is more an indication that it is the right way than any real condemnation of the practice. They make the MPs, who are carrying in level II holsters, carry on and empty chamber with the safety on on a double action weapon. God forbid we actually have to shoot a bad guy; we'd better take cover first.

I'm not saying that "carrying Israeli" is bad practicem just that basing your decision on what the Army says makes no sense for any sane, responsible person, military or not. The Army is great at teaching tactics, but when it comes to the intricacies of small arms firing and carry, there are MUCH better sources to be had.
