I had the same problem with mine, in addition to they do not make one for my model, so he sent one that he makes for a different gun that works well (NOT!).
I have since ordered some kydex sheets, and made my own (Pics in the EDC porn thread). I thinned out the area (not a hole) for the slide release, then used a punch to smooth and flatten out the divot. Same thing as the grip. I drew a line around the sight-trigger-beavertail while holstered, then unholstered, and drew a curved line from the top of the kydex to the end of the beavertail line. I just used a utility knife (razor blade type) to cut it.

I've cut the "combat grip" into mine, punched a hole in the leather to prevent my magazine from being released and I've switched the cheap bent clips for Comp-tac clips. I've also put spacer behind the clips to facilitate tucking (which he now offers). The holster STILL squeeks after over a year and I don't like the half coverage of the gun.
I believe he makes a decent basic holster but they are far from a quality custom holster. I think his quality doesn't justify his prices now. Whith what you pay for a crossbreed you can get the cheaper MTAC from COMP-Tac.

I use the super tuck for EDC. I understand what you are saying, but the leather wasn't an issue for me. The factory standard works great!

The Spartan, which is almost an exact knock-off of our SuperTuck is indeed cheaper at $60.00. So yes, the Spartan is a few dollars cheaper, and comes without a lifetime warranty (you do get one year) and there is a potential 15%-20% restocking fee if you do return it. Comp-Tac certainly makes good holsters and they are worth thier price, and so are ours. Please do try to compare apples to apples.

I just saw Comp-tac's Spartan today for the first time and it does indeed look almost exactly like a SuperTuck. I'm happy with my Crossbreed and think they have a great product!

I wear a supertuck all day, everyday at work with my XDsc. The thing about a supertuck is that they are not fancy holsters that have as much time in them as a fully custom leather holster. They are a workhorse that can be worn all day, abused and still be ready the next day for the same thing without any problems. The best part is that they are one of a handfull of tuckable hoslters that can be had about a week after you order them, at a good price, imo.

Since i started this i will say its a great holster.
The only thing is when i grab for my gun I have to wedge my fingers in. I think when i trim an inch or 1 1/2 off it will be fine. I carry a pretty thick gun anyway. good product mark

Actually I did say the cheaper MTAC (Spartan). Yes, quite similar. The interchangeable bodies and the fact that the gun is completely covered is a plus in my book. The front sight has a tendency to drag on draw and the kydex is scratched on my supertuck. A proper sight channel is something I look for. You do not offer a complete coverage option. This has been brought up in forums before (Not sure where I saw it). You charge extra for an option that most people would choose if it were the same price (combat grip). So your holster come to $73 spec'd like this. I would say that is in the same price range. To be honest, I liked your holster when I first got it but I now know exactly what I desire in a holster. I think Tucker gun leather’s "The Answer" was the first hybrid holster.

I see now that you meant to convey the cheaper version of the MTAC. Either way, as long as you have what you like and need and it allows you to carry what you like, then that is what matters most. thanks Mark

What is the big deal. I have a Super Tuck, and like it. I haven't had to trim any of the leather, don't really see a need to but I understand some of the comments about getting the full grip or whatever. I just choose to leave it the way it came. If you prefer to trim out for the grip, hey I am sure the folks at CrossBreed understand.
As far as the complaints about value or something that is cheaper, or whatever. If you don't like a product, don't buy it. If you have one that you did buy and think you paid to much, well who's fault is that. I have got lots of holsters for lots of different guns. Some of them I use, some of them I leave on the shelf. I am not the only one like this as others have admited to this also. But I do use my Super Tuck, and I do like it. I shopped around for similar IWB products and picked the Super Tuck because I like the features, the cost and their warranty. What a bunch of whiners.
