I'm in love with my holster

[jayinsat]

I got my Crossbreed Supertuck IWB holster for my Ruger SR9c yesterday and all I can say is, UH-FREAKING-MAZING! I think i'm in love. This thing is uber-comfortable right out of the package. Retention is great, though I may end up making it a little tighter. After less than 24 hours of wear it is already feeling like a natural part of me. I can only wear it around the house since I don't have the plastic yet but I feel confident that when I do my Wally Walk for the first time i'll have no problems.

Now if DPS would just hurry up.

Congrats on the holster, may it ride on your belt for many happy miles.

Horsehide or cowhide? I've had both, to me the cowhide is more comfortable, but the horse is more durable and repels sweat better (a plus for Texas).

Did you get a gun belt? Even with the Crossbreed, a good gun belt makes a huge difference.

Yeah, congrats on the Crossbreed. Mine was 3 years old, wore it every day. Then the kydex started to crack at the top of the well. I sent it back to Crossbreed thinking they would just replace the kydex. But NO, they sent back a brand new holster!! They have great customer service. Very fast turn around, new holster, what more could you ask for?

Good choice.

I am VERY disappointed with Crossbreed.

The last holster I ordered (my 3rd one) didnt come with Cherry Lifesavers.

I was really bummed.

I got horse hide. I don't have a gun belt yet. Probably will buy it this weekend. Thanks for the advice.

Mine didn't come with cherry lifesavers either. They sent lemon starbursts. Hard to practice the draw while chewing sticky candy.

Though my horsehide CBST for my M&P 9c didn't come with any candy at all, it's so sweet that I didn't even notice. I also got my first gun belt from them and it's still part of my EDC gear. Just curious if the OP or others have the combat cut on their SuperTuck? I originally ordered mine without the CC but ended up sending it back. I got it back within a week and IMO it's worth the extra few dollars.

No combat cut on mine. I'm thinking about that also. I've been practicing drawing and I really don't have any trouble getting a good grip and drawing with the regular cut. If I do send it back, I'll have the combat cut and tighten retention.

The main reason I sent mine back for the combat cut was that I kept rubbing a raw spot on my thumb when I practiced drawing. It did improve the initial firing grip for me too.

I've heard that an easy way to tighten retention is to heat and press in around the trigger guard. YMMV

i made my own holsters, used a parts kit from http://oldfaithfulholsters.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

i saw the CB super tucks, and figured i could make it cheaper. so went to tandy and got a big hunk of leather and bought a 4x8 sheet of ABS. thermo molded 3 different holsters. 1 iwb and 1 pancake style holster for my beretta 92a1 and 1 iwb for the wife .38 spcl revolver

was cheap as dirt and have enought materials left i could make another 15-20 holsters if i needed to.

I first got a horsehide Crossbreed for my Beretta 92FS and love it. Very comfortable and good quality. I later discovered the old faithful holsters and got a kit for my SW 3913. More affordable, but was surprised I still had to wait awhile for the kit to arrive. Even so, the hide was of comparable quality to the Crossbreed's, as was the kydex, judging from a layman's observation. Making it was actually kind of fun, and when I finished, I was glad to see it was just as comfortable as the Crossbreed. The only thing about the old faithful kit, though, is that the little bolts still stick out a bit in the back of the leather and the holster's design is such that there is a space between the kydex and the leather. As for the bolts, I don't feel them on my skin, at least not yet, and the kit comes with different sized spacers, so I can always try to replace them if I wanted to so that they don't stick out.
