Cross Breed Holster – Super Tuck – Retention Issues?
By chris July 15, 2009
After posting this video review of the the Crossbreed Supertuck holster I got the following comment about the holster retention...
from scoobydoo6906
"I was considering getting a crossbreed holster after that video absolutely not! that level of retention? is unacceptable and borderline negligent in my opinion. you would be hard pressed to run or even bend over without losing your gun with that thing. that thing should be able to be holstered up and shook vigorously and not even think about moving. all the leather and kydex hybrid holsters i gave seen are garbage, one or the other until they figure to out. no way!, zero retention not "medium"
Really the gun is pretty secure after it is secured by your belt inside your waistband. I never feel like it's going to slip out...even if it did there are instruction on how to "firm up" the retention using a hair dryer...more on that later...
I’m new to the whole concealed carry of a firearm and have found all your videos extremly helpful. Just wondering if you still carry on a regular basis and if so how is the cross breed holster working for you. I just took my ccp course and am still waiting on the permit so just trying to get some good info on iwb holsters people like. Thanks for your site ive learned alot.
I received my CBST horsehide about a week ago. I gave all of my other Holsters away (13) today. I ordered my holster for a S&W .38 J frame revolver. There are zero retention issues and actually that is very far from the actual retention of this holster. It holds the weapon extremmely well period and better than other holsters. The holster is tops in quality and comfort and I wear it all day every day. Once you get used to it (in no time) it is like it isn’t even there and it is also a super fast draw and unlike other holsters the gun is easy to return to it’s rightful place. The leather is great, mine is horsehide, although the dense horsehide is taking awhile to form and break in but it is comfortable so that is a small concern.
In my opinion Mark at Crossbreed has an exceptional and quality product for a more than fair price, great customer service and is the best you can buy. If someone comes up with a better idea for less let me know and I will try it but this is my last holster company.
