I got my new cross breed LH IWB fer a 1911 today i was hoping i'd get it in time for christmas.I have been carrying in a bianchi model 100,the holster has a single metal clip and my shirt sometimes snags the clip when i raise it and the firearm will shift angles when i sit etc.The cross breed holster has 2 cips made of kydex that fold under and i have to thread my belt through them so no snagging.The holster maintains same angle for drawing and keeps holster in same location on pants ,no scooching around.The firearm fits in the kydex snug and would take a little effort to extract it from the holster,It also only requires 1 hand to reholster,my Bianchi 100 collapses so i have to spread the top to reholster.I am currently shifing holster around to find most comfortable/concealable position.The holster is open muzzle so you can use different barrel lengths.Only downside i can maybe see is other types of kydex/leather holsters have the ability to change mounting clips,the crossbreed comes with the mounting hardware riveted on.But IMHO if you are mechanically inclined you could probably buy the munting hardware from other manufacturers and adapt them to the cross breed as far as if you might want to change it to a tuckable holster.I've been wearing it about 2 hours now and can't hardly tell i'm packing my 3.5" RIA 1911,so i'm gonna stick my 5" SA 1911-A1 in it and see if it feels as good.I'm in the process of building a used/defunct holster bin,oh yeah i like this smiley a lot lol

Crossbreed used to have an adjustable mounting option for $8. I also thought they offered a tuckable option.
I have an adjustable one for my Glock. So far it is the lightest and most comfortable holster I own.

I bought the standard IWB model,the super tuck that shows mounting screws on the clips is 13.00 more.But to tell you the truth it's very comfortable to wear,I give it 4 .I did notice that it kept my 1911 so secure i had to use a hard jerk to draw ,not too good if you're trying to be subtle.In the trigger guard portion i noticed they have a depression and that's what retains the firearm ,I took a bic lighter and heated it up for a few seconds then use a butter knife to push up on the recess til i had t where i wanted ad held it for a few seconds til it cooled enough to stay,i then inserted my pistol and tried the retention pressure again,I can draw my weapon and not be noticeable now,also if you go too far one way or the other just reheat kydex and adjust as necessary.I almost fired up a blowtorch at first but the thought sometmes less is more hit me,and with the lighter you can pinpoint the heat source.

I've been using the Crossbreed Supertuck IWB for the last month or so, and it is great. It has been very comfortable, with or without an undershirt.

I got the stock clips that come with it, and would suggest the J-hooks, instead.

The instructions that come with it say you can adjust the tension of the Kydex using a hair dryer to heat it up. I was a little bit worried hearing from folks who say they have a drawer full of holsters. I've been very happy with this one, and will likely stick with them for concealment holsters in the future.

I did move the front clip up 2 notches so my 1991A1 would have more of a forward (grip more verticle) cant to it, kinda like a 2/3 FBI cant, works dang well..and I even ride my motorcycle and have no worries about loosing it, its a very very good holster!

I made essentially the same adjustment to mine. It rode a little bit high for my liking. I'm wondering what it's going to be like as warmer weather approaches. I may need to research something that doesn't have a leather back, but I've been extremely pleased with mine so far.

I've ordered my Crossbread Super Tuck and I'm waiting for it to arrive. I've read a lot of positive reviews. This is my first (and hopefully my last) holster for my daily carry.

I also went with the SuperTuck IWB, and I think I've got it adjusted just right (for me). As the hardware was set by the factory, the grip was a little too horizontal and my shirt kept catching on it. I adjusted the cant as far "forward" as it would go (as described above, but all the way, including dropping the front clip to the bottom hole) and it's awesome now. My shirt doesn't hang on it anymore, and it's much more comfortable to sit down with. Now if I can just get the plastic to go with it...

I've been considering trying out the Pager Pal - it's a really good idea (IWB but hangs below the "bend line" of your waist) but the jury-riggishness that would be required to get my cell phone/PDA/smartphone hooked to it might make it Not So Good.

I had a PagerPal. The concept is good, but didn't work for me and was uncomfortable. Kinda felt like having a dinner plate in my pants.

That's the other thing I fear I might not like, but the placement makes it very unlikely that I'd "clunk" on a chair or shelf or whatnot (not that that's my primary "being made" fear). What gun(s) did you try in it, Keith? In the video it looks like it works pretty well for him, but it looked like he had a 1911 (relatively slim compared to my blocky G30).

Mine was for a Kahr PM9, about as small as you can get. Still didn't like it. Could be my build (a little thick around the middle and only 5'9", but still awfully uncomfortable.

Awesome service!

I broke the clip on my holster..emailed them, they are mailing me a free replacement right now!

EXCELLENT service!
