I am considering purchasing a Crossbreed SuperTuck. Will the Kydex material effect/damage the firearm? Thanks for the help. BTW I am considering purchasing a 1911 to go with the Crossbreed SuperTuck.
My XD shows minimal wear from the supertuck, but it's been less than six months. Any weapon that gets a lot of carry time is going to show wear, wether it's in leather or Kydex. It's just a little character
While our holsters tend to be no harder on the finish, they aren't any easier on the finish of a firearm either.
With respect, finish wear WILL occur to some extent, sooner or later, on any gun carried regularly, regardless of who's holster it is in.
Wit that in mind, if you are serious about carrying, select a firearm that you don't mind some finish wear on, don't carry your prized $3000.00 collectors gun.
Carry a gun you select and dedicate to carry and can look at as a tool for defending your life should the need arise. The gun should actually get a lot more wear at the range than in your holster anyway, so again, don't carry a safe queen for self defense.
Mark has some wisdom there...I look at my carry guns as tools. Like everything in my other toolbox...it feels more like mine once I've put a few dings on it anyway.

I blieve that kydex is ok for tupperware guns,I have a blackhawk Surpa,for my Glock,and M&P,but my 1911's are all carried in Leather ONLY,if you want to keep the finish on it IMO.
I carry my full size Rock Island in a CB almost every day. It disappears under nothing but a t-shirt. A quality gun belt is an absolute must for carrying a 1911 though, I got mine from CB also and love it.
It shouldnt be too bad unless your holstering and unholstering it a lot. I have the Micro for the LCP and it fits nice and snug, does not slide around, but sure with wear time it will loosen a bit, but as long as the firearm stays in and safe and helps protect me, a little wear is good for character. The Crossbreed products and service are excellent from the folks here in STL I spoke with and so far from the one I RX.
I'm thinking about a SuperTuck for my S&W Mod 60. Does anyone have pictures of a SuperTuck with a snub nose revolver? The web site has only pistol pictures (unless I'm missing something).
I think once I see how my gun will fit, I'll be sold!
I have a Crossbreed Supertuck that I use for my Glocks. I love it. I use several Don Humes, Galco and Tagua holsters too.
