Is there any regulation about putting a cross draw in the small of your back?

There is nothing that addresses this specifically, but I don't think you could draw it without breaking the 170 rule.

Check out the SASS Shooters Handbook

While there isn't a rule specifically saying no, it's a really bad idea.  There's just no way to draw that gun reliably without breaking the 170. 

Keep your CCW practice at home.

In just thinking of the 'mechanics' of the muzzle - there's as much or more sweep using that 20th Century technique first popularized by Mike Conners on 'Tightrope' as there is using a standard reverse-grip Cavalry Draw and a regular Cross Draw.

I agree with the above post - best to check something 'official'.

Why would you want to? Besides eating time, like already mentioned it would have to be a 170 degree rule violation.

I've used that method. 
I just spin around SOOOOO quick that I draw the gun while it's in front of me, then I don't break the 170... :D :D :D
