Cross Breed folks any reason for the slant towards the horse hide over the cow hide backings?
I liked the fact that it was more ridgid. Took a little longer to break in but once it was there is fit like a glove
That; and the fact that being a denser leather, it is much more impervious to sweat and moisture.
IMO; it is tougher and will wear better than cowhide and I believe it is thinner as well as more comfortable on the reverse side that faces up against your body.
Mine is usually worn under only a single tee shirt and I've never experienced any rash or even redness at all on my skin.
As was previously stated, being more rigid, the horsehide will mold itself to your body for a better fit than the cowhide will.
The horsehide option is well worth the $15 cost; IMO, it is almost an entirely different holster than the cowhide version..
