I have had both, and prefer the combat cut. I now use a Theis Holster and it comes combat cut and in horsehide standard, for less than the Crossbreed with those options. I like it. I like it a lot.

You can always do your own combat cut, just need a sharp knife and steady hand.

Everyone keeps telling me to do it on my own and I assure you it will be slaughtered if I do hahaha, I practically ruined those Talon Grips when I tried those out a year ago. I really liked that three speed holster someone showed me in a link but I don't know how I feel about velcro.. Theis holster huh? I will have to check that out.. I didn't get my Crossbreed cut when I bought it because I thought it was silly and that I would get annoyed of my firearm poking me all day but I feel now that a little discomfort is worth it if I can get a proper grip from the draw...

A sharp pair of scissors will work too, just mark where you want to cut and cut. I trimmed a little off my Theis Holster that way, just to remove some excess that wasn't needed for the screw holes I use.

It's like kindergarten all over again, extra points for staying on the line.

I was never very good at that!

I originally bought mine without the combat cut. After rubbing a raw spot on my thumb practicing my draw I called Crossbreed about "adding" the combat cut. I thought about doing it myself but I figured for $7 plus shipping it one way it was worth it to let them do it. I had it back in a week and couldn't be happier. Highly recommended.

Awesome!! I appreciate the information!

I just received my bull belt in today. It's awesome. I hardly notice my holster at all. Strongly recommended!

I have a Beltman.

Another vote for The Wilderness Tactical Belt. I've had their 5 Stitch model for several years and been really happy with it.

Another recommendation for Beltman Bullhide belts and Wilderness Instructor belts.
I own three Beltman and two Instructor belts.

Another recommendation on The Wilderness Instructor belt. Don't remember how many years I've had mine but if I ever buy another gun belt this would be what I get again.
