This is my first try at writing a review, I hope it isn't too hokey.
I am a CCW permit holder and have been since I was 21 y.o., and I carry most every time I leave the house. Over the years (I'm hitting the big five-oh in a few months), I have tried just about every method for CC; everything from shoulder rigs to ankle holsters. I've found a few holster/gun combo's that worked pretty well but none that really satisfied me. The box of holsters in the bottom of my closet are a testament to my search for the 'right' one.
My current EDC is a Taurus PT145 and until recently it was carried in a High Noon IWB holster at the small of my back; I've been using this combo for about 2-1/2 years and it works really well for concealment but leaves a bit to be desired for ease of draw and time to aim. Lots of practice has gotten me to where I feel comfortable with my ability to get it out and into action but it is still taking longer than I'm happy with.
After a ton of research- web surfing, reading, talking to other people who routinely carry for their experiences and opinions- I decided to try the Crossbreed Super-Tuck.
I went to their website and ordered the holster as well as one of their Gun Belts, as my belt is starting to show its age. One of the reasons I chose Crossbreed is their "2 weeks for free" policy; you can try out their products for two weeks and if you aren't completed happy with the product, they will purchase it back from you for the full price, no questions asked. And even after the 2 week 'test drive', they have a lifetime warranty on all their holsters and belts.
The package arrived 18 days after placing my order, a pleasant surprise since they said to expect 4-6 weeks for delivery. My initial impressions:
The Super-Tuck holster is a IWB unit that allows you to tuck in a shirt (I generally just wear a pullover un-tucked for quicker access) while still carrying even full sized semi-auto pistols or some revolvers. The holster is a combination of Kydex and leather (I ordered mine in black cowhide, they also offer a horsehide option) and is adjustable for ride depth and cant. It looks pretty basic until you notice the attention to detail and the top quality materials and workmanship in the manufacture of this holster. Each holster is custom built as ordered, you choose which hand, type of leather and color, gun, and belt mounting clip style. The Super-Tuck is available in their regular cut or in "combat cut", a slightly smaller backing to allow for more positive grip during draw but slightly less comfort for carrying. I've been wearing this holster 8-10 hours a day for the last week now and I am very happy with it. It conformed to my body quickly, it holds the gun tight against my body- no flop or sag even when running or moving around a lot. I don't feel any pressure points like I have with past holsters, I can actually forget I'm carrying at times, it is that comfortable.
Being in a much easier to reach (I carry at the 4 o'clock position with this rig) location makes getting the gun out and on target much faster, and it is SO much easier to re-holster; with the High Noon holster, I had to remove the holster from my pants to re-holster the gun. The High Noon will still have a place for some situations but it has been replaced by the much more functional Crossbreed for EDC.
With a price around $70.00 (depending on options) the Crossbreed Super-Tuck is an affordable, top quality holster for concealed carry and I highly recommend it.
The Gun Belt from Crossbreed is built like a tank, the quality of work and finish are impressive, this is the heaviest belt I have ever owned, bar none. At almost a full 1/4" thick, you won't need to worry about wearing this belt out. From their website-
"Our belts are made of two layers of top grain cowhide. These two leathers are then stitched together, cross grain from each other, using recessed stitching to provide protection to the stitching from surface abrasions.
The finished belt is 1 1/2 inches wide and just under 1/4 inch thick.
The final result is a thick, strong belt offering superior support for the gun and holster while being supple and flexible for comfortable wear. Our belts are also available with the Velcro-Kit which includes a strip of loop Velcro stitched to the back of the belt and a pair of our V-Clips and hardware for use with our SuperTuck holster. This combo results in TOTAL concealment and very good stability.
Top quality hardware is also used with steel Chicago screws and a high quality chromed buckle."
These belts are priced around $60.00 and are available in either black or brown. Crossbreed also offers a line of dress belts for those who want more than just a utility or working belt for holding up you pants and a concealed weapon.
