billzfx4 Posted May 9, 2020 at 01:49 AM Share Posted May 9, 2020 at 01:49 AM Check out Hidden Hybrid Holsters, same basic principle. I have three and really like them. Excellent quality and very comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundguy Posted May 9, 2020 at 02:00 AM Share Posted May 9, 2020 at 02:00 AM I have IWB Cross Breed Hybrids for several different guns. They are well made at a good price and I don't use any of them.I have discovered that being a hybrid style, when my belt is not firmly in place, the gun tends to fall out. I sure don't want my loaded pistol to go sliding across a dirty men's room floor and I don't wanna be one of those guys that takes it out of the holster and puts it on the TP dispenser, only to be in a hurry after cleaning up and leaves it there for someone else to find. A full kydex holster tends to be hard on the pistol finish, so for a few dollars more, I'm very happy with a custom crafted full leather holster from Privateer. I like the Cutthroat model for a High Power. Thinking about getting something similar in an OWB model. OWB seems to be far more comfy for me, and I always have a loose fitting cover garment.

Squints08 Posted May 9, 2020 at 02:03 AM Share Posted May 9, 2020 at 02:03 AM I own holsters from multiple manufacturers (PJ, High Noon, Blackhawk, Vedder, etc.) but my go to for the last few years is crossbreed IWB. I love their belts too. Solid combo and I can’t recommend them enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomKoz Posted May 9, 2020 at 02:28 AM Share Posted May 9, 2020 at 02:28 AM Love my crossbreed IWB. Only IWB I own (5-6 years now). Definitely recommend their belt to go with it. In fact was just thinking today that I’m going to order their “dress” belt - even though I don’t use IWB with dress pants (pocket carry). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weed Posted May 9, 2020 at 02:41 AM Share Posted May 9, 2020 at 02:41 AM Cross Breed is all I use for IWB and I am happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagSlap Posted May 9, 2020 at 03:11 AM Share Posted May 9, 2020 at 03:11 AM I typically dont do IWB....but I found that Galco's Kingtuk serves me well...(Same basic design)..My KT is for a glock 19/17/26... all fitYou can get a KT off the shelf vs the possible long wait for a crossbreed.Tho I've never tried a CB..I'm just mentioning another option.

ragsbo Posted May 9, 2020 at 03:24 AM Share Posted May 9, 2020 at 03:24 AM I have one similar to Crossbreed and it is a drawer filler! Too much material (inside the waist) and not comfortable at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanishjames Posted May 9, 2020 at 03:45 AM Share Posted May 9, 2020 at 03:45 AM Check out Alien Gear's lineup: https://aliengearholsters.com/1911-5-inch-cloak-tuck-iwb-holster-inside-the-waistband.html I like the CloakTuck kydex/leather combo, but their new ShapeShift line looks too bulky.

Johnnybgood Posted May 9, 2020 at 04:00 AM Share Posted May 9, 2020 at 04:00 AM My wife and I both have the IWB Crossbreed holsters. Comfortable enough you forget they are there. Retention is second to none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redlin Posted May 9, 2020 at 10:38 AM Share Posted May 9, 2020 at 10:38 AM Comfortable enough you forget they are there. Retention is second to none.My thoughts exactly.Also,the IWB Crossbreed I have for my main EDC is approaching 5 years .I opted for the horsehide,it looks very well worn and beaten these days,but is very comfortable and does the job extremely well.I wouldn't doubt I'll get another 5 yrs. out of it.

Kaeghl Posted May 9, 2020 at 11:29 AM Share Posted May 9, 2020 at 11:29 AM I second everything Redlin said. My crossbreed for my XDs is comfortable enough to forget it's there most of the time. I put "J" belt hooks on it and where it's put, it stays. It doesn't go shifting around on the belt/waist from sitting, getting into and out of the car, ect.

Kingcreek Posted May 9, 2020 at 11:41 AM Share Posted May 9, 2020 at 11:41 AM I have crossbreed IWB and they have been great. Only complaint is the metal belt clips if not covered and I just haven got around to replacing them. Retention has never been a problem.It’s worth a few extra bucks to go with the horsehide.My PM9 in mini tuk delux is invisible and very comfortable. IWB will never be as comfortable as OWB but everything is a compromise.Crossbreed was the original that everybody else copied so I choose to support them.

Jeffrey Posted May 9, 2020 at 12:51 PM Share Posted May 9, 2020 at 12:51 PM I’m also a big fan of them but, they can feel a little bulky with as much material they use. I’m not a big waist and I feel it covers about a quarter of my entire waistline. What gun are you looking to use? Might have a holster for you.

Bitter Clinger Posted May 9, 2020 at 01:13 PM Share Posted May 9, 2020 at 01:13 PM I have an IWB Crossbreed and don't like it. There is way too much leather material and it's uncomfortable to wear. It also has poor retention, as others have mentioned. I ended up getting a full Kydex OWB holster which has been comfortable and positively secures the gun. I can see how a full Kydex holster could be hard on some gun's finishes, but I just checked my S&W Shield which I've used with that holster for 5 years and the finish looks OK. However, the Melonite finish on that gun isn't all that well done to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckydawg13 Posted May 9, 2020 at 01:48 PM Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 at 01:48 PM Thanks for all of the help and advice maybe I'll just hold off on the C/B and just go with leather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfcreek Posted May 9, 2020 at 04:20 PM Share Posted May 9, 2020 at 04:20 PM Just my opinion : Never found a IWB that worked for me.You need a bigger waist size & just could never get comfortable. My daily carry is a Ruger SR9c with 17 round double stack.Relentless Tacticals Glock XD OWB with 15 degree cant hugs my waist & as long as I wear a shirt without being tucked in Im good.On occasion I will go with the 10 round magazine.It makes things even less visable.A special belt is a must.never hangs off my side Plus a double mag holder for my left side with two 17 round double stack mags.gives me 44 & one in the tube.

wazzle Posted May 9, 2020 at 10:04 PM Share Posted May 9, 2020 at 10:04 PM I use a Crossbreed when at work because of tucking my shirt in. If I don't have to tuck in, I use a small single clamp style IWB Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmyers Posted May 12, 2020 at 02:51 PM Share Posted May 12, 2020 at 02:51 PM Currently I have the Reckoning on. I also have the Supertuck and Minituck. I like them all. I did go with the horsehide. It took about week to two weeks for it to form to my body and now it goes right to the same spot and I don't even notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmyers Posted May 12, 2020 at 05:40 PM Share Posted May 12, 2020 at 05:40 PM I don't tuck in my shirt, I like the supertuck and my G26. In addition you can carry 19 and 17 in the same holster. Makes it very versatile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atmosphere0284 Posted May 15, 2020 at 02:36 PM Share Posted May 15, 2020 at 02:36 PM I have a bunch of crossbreed Stuff... i prefer OWB but do have some IWB. I have to say that their customer service is top notch. I have a buddy that I ordered a holster for back in 2014, he carries daily and works 16-18 hour days 6 days a week so he puts his holsters through the tough test.... Crossbreed has replaced his holster 3 times now (only at the cost of him shipping it back. I figured on the first one they'd just slap some new kydex on the old leather.... nope, they send a brand spankin' new holster each and every time. Cant beat that for a warranty program!!! They will continue to get my business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
