My Crossbreed Supertuck pix

[BobFr]

Limatunes,
I imagine you've already investigated the Minituck from Crossbreed, but if not, it might be worth a look. It's advertised as being more comfortable for some women, but of course only accepts small handguns. And I don't see many small pistols on your blog, so this may not be an option for you.

I have a Minituck for a PM9 with CT laser, and Supertucks for a SIG P239 and SIGPro 2022. All of these are very comfortable even while driving, but I'm a guy. I'd love to get feedback from ladies using the Minituck. If it's generally good, I may see if my wife wants to try one.

Since I wear brown belts more than black ones, I also would like to see brown clips. However, I recently sent an email to Crossbreed asking if they planned to offer them, and was told that there were no plans. Bummer.

Buy a spare set of clips from CB and simply spray paint them (the exterior) the color of your choice. Simple.

I normally wear my CB at 4:00, and if I'm going to be in the car more than an hour or so, comfort is increased by pulling out on the clips slightly, moving the holster forward to 3-3:30 and then releasing the clips.

This is a lot easier to do after a couple weeks of wear as the holster fits you better and has more of a curve to it.

With all of the adjustment that a SuperTuck has, I kn ow I found a sweet spot that is more comfortable then any holster I have ever tried.
I have worn mine while driving for 20+ hrs at a stretch.

Tried a Super Tuck, hated it. The way they positioned the kydex shell allowed the gun's muzzle of my PT709 to protrude past the leather backer, and dig into my side. Got another Mtac this week and it is great.

It's funny that you should say this. I got my Supertuck yesterday and carried it but it was HORRIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE while driving. Body types being what they are, of course, things are different but I think it's kind of interesting/funny how one person can find something so comfortable while another person finds it very uncomfortable.

The rest of the time, however, it was much more comfortable than i would have originally thought it would be. We'll see what the outcome is after a couple of weeks. I usually just avoid IWB like the plague but I'm giving this holster an honest go at it.

Tala, that's pretty much exactly how I was dressed yesterday and, yes, I found it pretty easy to conceal my G19. I think I will have to try it with something a little more "form fitting" and get the final assessment on its limitations.

I find it to be "so so" with driving. At first it was awful, but it's some better with breaking in. Of course I'm still waiting on my plastic (on a side note, my sister got hers in the mail today!) so I'm not driving around with a gun ---- although I had to specifically *remember* to leave it at home when I drove DH to work the other night. I'd been carrying all evening while doing chores and dang near forgot about it!

That's pretty normal clothes for me, I'll just have to stick with my longer Tshirts is all. I only dress "up" feminine to "go out" which happens maybe twice a year! I seriously lack much of a social life, and that's ok with me.

Try working some saddle soap into the leather to soften it up and help it mold to your body better. I also move mine to about 3:30 while driving - I usually carry at 4:00. The secret is to find the sweet spot for driving, but once you do it should be comfortable.

It might just be the different body types too. I've seen your pictures here and know you're very pitite. On the other hand I'm 6'1" and go about 220 pounds.

Having seen pictures of you it might well be due to the fact that you curve in just where us older guys curve out!

Tala, is that a Calela belt you have on?

When i got my supertuck I wore it around the house and while driving to break it in. I also used a leather conditioner to soften the horsehide. The final adjustment was to the kydex, used a heat gun to soften the area with the rivets and bent the slightly towards my body when the hlosters on. Read another post somewhere regarding this and it really helps. While waiting for my ccw (in the mail) I wear the supertuck everyday and it is so soft that I never notice it anymore. Give it time it will break in.

Mid rise pants? Man I'm further outdated than I thought.

I wear 'no rise' pants myself, the gut is in the way.

To the OP...
Thanks for the pics, it's nice to see more women with a belt and holster. My wife won't even try a belt/holster combo.

Great holster. I have used it now for almost three years. I tuck shirts or go untucked. Comfort and support excellent. Enjoy!

I know there are a ton of CBST threads on this site, but it seems most wear between 3 and 4 o'clock. I prefer appendix carry between 10 and 11 o'clock. Does anyone have experience with wearing the supertuck in this position? If so, how did it work out? Should I look a the Crossbreed holster designed for appendix carry or would the supertuck still do the job? Thanks!

I would suspect it would dig into your ribs, the combat cut might help (but I don't know).... I had a problem with the CBST lower edge digging into my leg when I first got it. Then I took it out into the garage and beat the edges with a hammer (hammer on a hard surface) to soften them up. Now it feels awsome and conceals my FS SW M&P9 completely even when bending over you can barely see the edge of the butt if you are really looking. My wife never even notices I am carrying through out the day unless she hugs me.

No, I also got it from Crossbreed. I love it, wear it every day to work!
