I'll speak from experience
![]() If you think it comfortable now, wait until the leather molds to your body. It will take about a month of daily wear, your body heat and sweat wll do the molding. My Crossbreed now fits in exactly one place at 3:30 oclock position. This is the first IWB holster I've ever had that I literally do not feel throughout the day.I forget I'm wearing it. My new DW CCO needs leather though... and Lane is "da Man!" for leather work. I'll allow my Sig or the SA to wear the kydex going forward. On the kydex note. I HAVE allowed the DW in the crossbreed, and there is no visible wear on the firearm. Keep the kydex clean, the gun oiled, and you should have no problems. I also found that wearing a pair of Perry suspenders that hook to your belt (no metal clips) help to keep the gunside of your pants at the proper position. Good luck with your new holster! One Well Used and very comfortable Crossbreed. The dye is NOT wearing off, its just the way the flash caught the marks in the leather. It's still one solid color. ![]() ![]()

I have a Crossbreed for my Springfield XDm - and I love it. As mentioned above, as you wear it, it gets better. When I invested in my first Dan Wesson, I couldn't bear the thoughts of Kydex on my pistol (and it's probably not a real worry) - and that started what's turned into a pretty fun hobby/business for me. In fact, the very first holster I made, I pretty much copied my Crossbreed for a pattern.
They make a great product and have GREAT customer service. Lane

Here's a short update. I've worn the Supertuck a few more days, and it seems to be taking shape nicely.
The retention at the front of the trigger guard seemed a little excessive, so I heated it up with my heat gun and reduced it some. It now slides in and out very smoothly, yet isn't going to come out unless I want it to. I also added one notch worth of forward cant. I do like the option of easily adjusting the ride height and cant to suit my preferences. While walking around a quiet department store a few nights ago, I did notice that it's not exactly a silent holster. It's unlikely that a typical person would notice it, and I doubt that they'd have any idea what was causing it. I wore my VM2 a couple days ago to compare the two, and in the comfort department, the Supertuck wins hands down. The VM2 is quieter, just as easily concealed, gentler on the firearm, and much more finely crafted. I think my future Rock will be very happy riding in the Crossbreed, while my CCO is used primarily in the Milt Sparks. Overall I'm very happy with the Supertuck,and the comfort more than makes up for the few weaknesses. One of my cats must be ready for me to load up some ammo....she's tearing up the shipping box the Speer Gold Dots arrived in. ![]()

I got a Comp-Tac for my P245 that seems appropriate for that little feller... But for the Kobra Carry (and class tomorrow) I've got an OWB Galco "Fletch" - the idea of Kydex on stainless is just disturbing. I've heard a lot of good things about the VM2 - and for the old 1943 GI Colt I have a barely-used Summer Special that I got from a friend for a good price...but...it seems bulky on my skinny ass. Is there something I SHOULDN'T do??? |

Holster fit is very individual. What works for some is completely uncomfortable to others.
It sounds like you shouldn't go on a diet. ![]()

I've been leaning very hard towards the Maxtuck from White hat holsters. Looks like they copied the Crossbread but used plain belt clips. The crosses on the clips draws attention to something I'm trying to hide. I haven't found one review or video that hasn't said the crossbread was the most comfortable holster. I'm guessing it's mainly because it's spread out so far and distributes the weight? If so wonder why others haven't copied the design and replaced the kydex with leather.
