bowdog Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Recieved my new Crossbreed Holster today in the mail today... I have to say i am not overly impressed with first impression. Paid a little extra to have the horse hide and it feels nice but the screw heads and things are marked up from where they assembled. Paper work that came with it says i need to oil the leather. Anyone have any suggestions on oil? I will update some more after wearing for about a week and get it broken in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cOoTeR Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I use a crossbreed to carry my H+K p2000 off duty. It is awesome. I forget about the gun being there a lot. I have the regular leather and it didn't mention any oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crb Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I use baseball mit stuff, nit the kind you put in the oven. Call or email crossbreed they should make it right. I've had like 4 or so and they are nice when you break them in. I'd like to pickup a comptac to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idodishez Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Honestly don't notice a lot of difference between my CB and my cheapie Blackhawk nylon holster (as far as comfort). And the nylon one doesn't contribute to holster wear, whereas the CB does. Now I will admit that I haven't had a HUGE amount of break in time w it. Not shortly after I got it I started working in a hospital, so I use the Blackhawk anyway as its easier to take off when needed.

crb Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I have noticed zero holster wear with the crossbreed and I've owned at least 4. Any leather conditioner should work it just helps soften it. Ive used the hell out 3 of the crossbreeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only had for about a day but as far as comfort i do like, Not saying that i will forget it is there by any means but after wearing last night I am already starting to get used to it.

kiggy74 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Love my comp-tac minotaur, and it doesn't push the manufacturer's religious agenda like the crossbreed does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Omg it has a cross on the clip. Its the end of the world. I have one for my xd and love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crb Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Love my comp-tac minotaur, and it doesn't push the manufacturer's religious agenda like the crossbreed does.Yes because I allow a businesses religious agenda affect my holster purchase. Unless the put a 12' light up Jesus, Mohammed, Mary, atheist idol, etc I don't care! I want a comfortable all day holster the crossbreed fits the bill. I'm not saying it's better than the comptac because I haven't tried a comptac, the the crossbreed is definitely the most comfortable IWB holster I've tried. End of story!

kiggy74 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 If the manufacturer feels its ok to advertise his religiousness on his product, I feel its ok to purchase a competing product which doesn't advertise any religiousness. It just seemed silly to me that crossbreed had to put crosses on it. Yes its their logo, but damn it pains my heathen eyes and conscience to wear a product that has crosses all over it.Regardless, I've seen both and IMO the comp-tac is superior, religious idolatry aside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiggO Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I have 2 crossbreed holsters and love them. They are the most comfortable IWB holster I've ever had. Never have oiled mine either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I got a holster made at Survival Tactics on E. Main next to Jegs in Retnoldsburg. They look just like the crossbreeds but cost 20 less and got mine in less than 24 hours.Since your so close I'd go in and take a look around.

To be willing to hold true to your convictions even when it may not be "popular". Although the rep (owner?) I dealt with at CB certainly didn't ooze any Christian like traits by any stretch.

C-bus Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) I guess I never really picked up on the religious aspect of it, but it does have a big giant cross on it. It hasn't burned into my hedonistic skin yet. The CB can be noisy though, so put some wax (rub a birthday candle) under the clips where they touch leather.And Kawi..., the CS Mamba is great IWB. The CB has a higher wall of leather to protect my fatty-ness, but I do like it for the Glock. The Sig's hammer would dig into me with the CS.And I absolutely respect a company willing to uphold its values and not be pussified by political correctness.... regardless of those beliefs.
