Let me by start off by saying I have always owned firearms but have never carried one on my person. So a holster other than one used on a range is a very new concept for me.
I know next to nothing about the in's and out's of holsters or designs and why they are or are not good. So take this very quick micro review for what it is....one mans opinion. Nothing more.
I decided to get my carry permit and decided I needed a good quality holster. I won't bore you with my thinking or the rhyme and reasons on my choice.
Suffice it to say I own a Walther PPQ M2 model and a Crossbreed SuperTuc. This is the first carry holster I've ever owned and the first IWB holster i've ever owned.
I love my Walther. The PPQ M2 is my baby. I love the gun. I shoot it well. They have taken a while to catch on much here, and therefore I did put in some research on my holster choices.
I decided to buy Crossbreed SuperTuc. Mine is standard no options other than the horsehide leather option.
It just came in today. This is the first time I've worn a holster IWB. Might I say I am very impressed. I was very worried it would be uncomfortable and cumbersome. I was worried about a long, arduous breaking-in process where I would have to become "used to" wearing the holster. I could not have been more wrong.
First of all the gun and holster fit as if they are married as one piece. The retention is perfect. Slides in and out very smooth with just the right amount of effort. You can turn the holster upside down and shake it and the gun stays in retention. But when drawing there is no drag or hiccups of any kind. Re-holstering is just as easy. I have mine behind my right hip. Therefor, I cannot really see the holster. I can reach back and un-holster or re-holster on feel alone, with little effort.
Second, the holster is comfortable. As I type this at my desk I am wearing this holster and hardly notice. No pinching, binding, or chaffing. It's brand new. I've only worn it for about 2hrs.
As summary, only time will tell if my initial impressions warrant such a warm fuzzy feeling. So far I'm impressed. I cannot comment on durability or anything else at this moment as my time with it has been very limited. So far I'm happy. I don't know if this helps anyone looking for one or not. I realize my opinion is inferior to someone with much more experience than I. However, I assume if I'm this happy and comfortable this quickly with no acclimation then the guys at CrossBreed must have done their jobs well.
If anyone has any questions or comments I will be glad to try and answer them. Very impressed!!
