Cross Breed Holsters
« on: March 18, 2011, 01:00:32 PM »
 After seeing a post from choppers, asking about tuckable IWB holsters I knew I needed to write this. Cross Breed Holsters makes very high quality tuckable holsters. I first purchased a Super Tuck for my Kimber Ultra CDP II. The holster looks wide, but this is what makes it so comfortable and so stable. You can adjust the ride depth and the cant of your pistol. I then purchased the Microclip  holster for my Rohrbaugh and am very satisfied.  They are a small Christian owned business, and it takes about three weeks to receive your order (my experience). They offer a two week trial, and a LIFETIME WARRANTY! They offer a Mini Tuck and a Microclip that fit the "pups".  I highly recommend their products.

I have never owned one of there products but have only read positive things about the holsters.

Same here - which speaks volumes for a company in the "gun community".

I have a few Crossbreed holsters.  I have not used the tuckable feature.  I have one on order for my R9 to try out the tucking.  When I am cheating on my R9, I usually have a LB Stinger or a Glock 36 in a Crossbreed on my hip.  One nice thing is that the holster for the 1911, fits all my 1911 lengths, the Crossbreed for the Glock fits my G36, G19 or G23.  I recommend them highly, they are very comfortable, and easy on and off.  Another great option for the rotation.

Good luck.

Your R9 will be much lighter to carry than your Glock! :D

Seems like an excellent holster.  I'm impressed.

When I purchase a new pisol, I buy a new Cross Breed. I now will have 4.
1) Walther PPS - Supertuck
2) Ruger LCP - Minituck
3) M&P 9 / 45c - Supertuck
4) New Rohrbaugh R9S - Minituck

I have carried large and small pistols comfortably with a Cross Breed Holster. I see no reason to try another brand.

I've heard that the Crossbreed customers were satisfied customers, but Molson is a SUPER Satisfied customer. :D

I'd have to agree with Molson. I have a SuperTuck Deluxe for my G19. It is by far the most comfortable holster I have ever worn.

Being a holster junkie, with a whole complete dresser bureau full of nothing but holsters;  it amazing that I do not have a Crossbreed yet.
But to be honest, I guess the reason that I have not made the leap yet is because it just looks so darn big and combersome.  I appears that before I leave the house that I have to take my pants down to put it on.  Wrong or right?

I'm like most of us, when I leave the house, I am in a hurry.  Throwing a pup in each pocket is so easy, and strapping on the 1911 as well is not an issue.
But I don't want to pull my pants down out in the garage where my "daily" safe is.  
Heck the door is open half the time.  ;D

Two of my coworkers swear by the Crossbreed holsters. I want to order one for my R9. Is there any reason to go with the super tuck over the mini tuck for the R9?

Robar233:  The SuperTuck is for the larger sized guns.

Some things to consider when purchasing a hybrid style of holster are:

1.  First do some research.  There are a number of discussions regarding these holsters.

2.  Red flags:
- Kydex splitting/cracking (both clips and body of holster).
- Leather stinking after it gets wet.  (No amount of Febreze is going to get rid of that smell.  ;D) That smell is a giveaway that the leather is poor quality.
- Overall size of holster.  Some models hybrids are half again as large as the vast majority of similar IWB holsters.
- Metal clips tearing up your belt and upholstery of your seats.
- Exposed end of gun wearing a hole in your pants.
- Inability to acquire the grip of the gun on initial grab due to leather extending past/beyond the grip.

There are hybrid holsters available that do not exhibit some or all of the red flags mentioned above.

Kevin,
    Good info, I have always thought they were too large and look awkward to use.

Kevin, Thanks for the advice. I think I will hold off on one for the R9 and just get one for the PM40. I was thinking of paying extra for horsehide. I will ask the coworkers what they have and about the smell. I will pass on the sniff test!

Spot on, Kevin! That post deserves to be archived.
