My para rides in a Crossbreed Supertuck. By far my favorite for EDC.

I love the crossbreed holster. So comfortable I forget it's there. I have to check every once and a while to make sure it's still on me.

Man, I don't know how old JackAss holsters are. I believe they are pre-80's like back in the 70's if not before.

I just looked at mine closer and it is Not a JackAss, it is a Galco Miami Classic.

I use the Galco Concealable OWB for the Glock 29. Took a shot in the dark and got lucky. I wanted something without a top strap and trusted the Galco name. No regrets after one year. Very tight when new, takes some time and effort to break in.

Looks like a good holster.

Ya know, for an "off the shelf" holster, Galco comes pretty darn close to a "custom" holster at reasonalble prices. And that's what seems to set them apart from the competition and give them an edge.

Yeah, there are better rigs, but you will pay more.

Crossbreed(IWB), Miami Classic II(shoulder), for pocket holsters I like Meco.

my CCO/Commanders ride in this Garrity Gunleather rig with the metal clip that refuses to let go of anything. VERY easy on/off rig.

My full size 1911s are very fond of this one from Exodus Gunleather I had made to suit me. 20 degree cant with matching dress belt.

Andrew Johnson at AKJ Concealco makes an awesome IWB holster with a really neat front strap that he has a patent on.
Unfortunately he is not in the best of health so he might not be making holsters for much longer. Highly recommended.

Jim Murnack at FIST holsters has a bunch of neat designs and he makes his stuff out of nice thick 8-9 oz leather, as well as kydex.
He uses the same heavy duty spring clip that Garrity does, it really works well. Jim is a neat guy, very innovative.

Look up Nick Matthews in Texas (last I heard he was in TX). He makes a really nice IWB leather holster with an aggressive FBI tilt which makes concealing large frame handguns a snap. I have other favs, give me some time and I'll add them to this thread.

Crossbreed for sure

Somebody posted on another forum that Garrity went out of business.

Anybody know if that is true or not?

sqlbullet · July 19 2012 07:42:03 AM MDT

Website is still up. I would assume that means still open for business.

I have been carrying OWB in an RCS Phantom but just ordered a Galco KingTuk to give IWB another whirl... everything I've tried to date has been 100% kydex or 100% leather ... I am interested to see if the hybrid approach works any better for me :-)

Rick1987 · August 22 2012 07:20:33 PM MDT

I'm looking for a holster for my G20. Not sure if I should get another crossbreed or a nice custom leather one.

I love the crossbreed for my G27 but I don't have a "real" custom leather holster yet.

Just a leather blackhawk for my 1911.

Really hard to beat a hybrid IWB IMHO. Love my Supertuck.

The only reason I went with the Galco instead of the Supertuck was cost - I've bought so many holsters that didn't work for me that I am not optimistic about anything new anymore :-)

Appendix carry was a bust for me, at least for now... I bought many holsters (Comp-Tac 2 O'Clock, High Noon Public Secret and Mr. Softy, Blackhawk CQC, Fricke Archangel, CCC Shaggy and most recently RCS Vanguard and Vanguard 2) but just couldn't get to a point where I could conceal well enough. The only ones I've held onto are the Vanguards... they were the most minimal.

Given how I must dress I just do better right now carrying behind the hip. I really hope the hybrid thing works out. Ok, I guess I am slightly optimistic after all :-)
