Your choice of a cruiser will (or should) influence your decision about how to carry. A cruiser keeps you in one seating position that is usually comfortable at first but then becomes very uncomfortable on longer rides. That position is also a slightly leaned back position. My view is that you will NOT like any holster that attaches to your belt, and especially those worn further back than 3 o'clock....
If it helps in evaluating my options below, the bike I bought is a Suzuki Boulevard C50 cruiser (non-motorcycle types, think Harley style ...
I do lots of dual sport riding, and get into some pretty challenging dirt sections which means that it's not unusual for me to have unplanned get-offs. I strongly prefer to carry on the upper body. The harder impacts and longer slides will generally involve your lower body, so from both a comfort and safety standpoint, I avoid any waistbelt option. I either carry in a pocket holster (Walther PPS makes it easy) inside a chest pocket, or if I'm in more dirt oriented gear I'll use a large soft side camera case that is zip-tied to my chest protector.
