I've been wanting one for a couple years now, especially since I got my permit. I've been toting my Kimber compact cdp II in a Milt sparks vm2 and it's comfortable, but I got it from a gun show, so I was limited to brown(I wear mostly black belts and shirts). I've also been limited on which size 1911 I could carry. So last week I ordered a Supertuck off of midway for the faster shipping time.

I've only worn the Sparks and this holster so far, but as far as comfort goes this holster is definitely the better of the 2. I've hardly taken it off since I got it Friday, and have kept my Govt model High Standard in it. For some reason I just want to carry a full size 1911.

The full size hides just as well in this holster as my Compact Kimber does! Only a slight corner shows, and I'm hoping that once I lose a few more pounds(I'm down to 252 from 268, 5 weeks ago) and lose these love handles.

But I do have one problem which is supposedly easily remedied. The kydex is a little more loose than I'd like for a carry gun and might be the other cause for the grip showing slightly because it's able to shift outwards instead of pulling tight to my body. Granted, in my wasteband with my belt tight it's not going anywhere! But I still don't like the thought. Mine didn't come with instructions to mold the holster, and what I'm finding online in other forums is limited to a hair dryer and covering up areas that don't need to be shaped with a wet bath cloth. Does anyone have any experience with this and can offer some pointers until crossbreed gets back to me?

Also how do y'all let yalls ride? I've got mine at the stock height right now. With it being a bit loose adjusting the cant and height only seem to make it worse.

interesting story from this evening(last night now i suppose). My fiance and I were coming in from visiting with a friend of mine's parents who had stopped by(i was having some tranny issues w/ my ranger, and the dad is a Ford mechanic), and when we came in she playfully slapped the small of my back/left hip area and found out about my new mag carrier in a painful way :rotflmao:

She now has a nice bruised palm, and sore fingers...I, on the other hand, wouldn't have known it had happened if she hadnt yelled and I hadn't heard the plastic and metal pop!

her response after the pain subsided was "WTF WAS THAT? AND WHEN DID YOU START PUTTING IT BACK THERE!?!?"

so...sum of the story.....the dual mag carrier hides pretty dang good since I've been wearing it all weekend and she hasnt noticed till now!

I've been eying comp-tac's Minotaur mag carrier personally. And considering swapping to comp-tacs clips over Cross breeds. Maybe i'm paranoid, but I feel like when i'm rolling with a tucked shirt, those clips with the cross on them just scream out of place. Granted, they probably are more stable, and will last longer. Maybe i'll try the V clips I got..hmm..

I always tuck my shirts in at work and have only had the Pharmacy tech notice the Cross clips on the Supertuck. But i was wearing a Brown belt, Now i wear a black belt from Bison Design and it has Velcro for the slack and it fits over one of the clips perfectly. Just the other clip is barely noticeable.

If you have any questions you can call CrossBreed and they will answer your questions or walk you thru how to adjust it.
