S&W Holster Suggestions

I'm downsizing a lot and one thing to go was my usual 9mm carry. I was going to buy a new piece but I think I'll use a S&W model 39 that I inherited years ago. I want to buy a paddle holster for it. I'm right handed but prefer a cross draw. I used a Fobus for my last carry but it's too loose for the S&W. Any suggestions guys?
Thanks,
It's too late for me, save yourself.

For a cross draw Galco or El Paso Saddlery both have cross draw holsters. Cross draw usually isn’t going to be a paddle style though. I tried paddle holsters before but didn’t care for them because they pushed the gun too far out for me.
Give Michael a try at Ghost Town Leather. He runs a shop out of Palmer, and uses English bridle leather and heavy stainless hardware where appropriate. I had him make a left hand draw chest holster for my .44 Anaconda, and it has enough adjustment I can wear it vertically and comfortably under my left armpit. Absolutely the highest quality piece I've ever seen.
I'll check them both out - thanks. ruger41, did you see the PM I sent you a couple of weeks ago?
I just now saw it. I didn’t even know we had the ability to do that here lol. As to the pm I don’t own a 77/22. Did you accidentally pm the wrong person?
I think cross draw is a bad idea. It's slow and you end up flagging all manner of things you don't have any business flagging.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
You are correct Mr. Perfect but I have limited movement in my right shoulder and strong side isn't practical. I'm too old to become a lefty! Also, I don't plan on meeting anyone at high noon on Main St. in Deadwood.
😂
I find a vertical holster with no cant can be worn crossdraw pretty easily.
