Plus one on service and comfort. I carry a pt145 every day in mine, in fact I am wearing it right now with my gun as I sit in Latin class, I hate the stupid laws about schools and carrying.

With the muzzle being exposed below the bottom part of the leather, does this make it more uncomfortable against your leg?

No. With my 4.25" 1911, the muzzle extends past the bottom of the kydex shell, but not the leather.

so the muzzle on a M&P40 full size will extend past the kydex but still rest on the leather backing?

I just checked my 1911 fit and it varies from about 1/8 - 1/4 inch of leather below the end of that 4.25" barrel. It varies because the bottom isn't cut straight across. I don't know how long the barrel of a full size MP40 is, but if it's 5", it would extend below the leather in MY holster. I don't think it would be uncomfortable at all. If it's an issue for you, they make these things to order and you can specify if you want natural or black for a color, the "combat grip" modification, cow leather versus horsehide, etc. I'd just call them and I'd bet they would make it long enough that the barrel doesn't go below the leather. Depending on the size of the gun, they may already take that into consideration when they make the holsters.

mine doesn't. I have the full size M&P .40 and it works great...the muzzle runs out before the leather does! You'll enjoy it and be surprised at how well it conceals a full size!

It's an okay holster for the price. High ranks to being comfortable, but lower rank for the kydex not being very durable. As mentioned before, I, too, had problems with a clip breaking (twice) and the kydex body starting to crack at the edges on the bottom of the shell. Got replacement clips quickly enough, but that should not have been needed. The cracking in the kydex body isn't to the point where I'm ready to send it in. They really need to fix their kydex problem because I've read on more than one forum that people have had problems with their clips breaking and it seems to be pretty consistently the Crossbreed ones. And, I'm not the only one to have the kydex shell start cracking at the stress points where it's bent/molded.

Unisonic12,
My goal is not to try out 45 different IWB holsters, so if you arent real excited about this one, what do you suggest?

BeefyBeefo · November 13th, 2008, 05:11 PM

unisonic12, how long ago did you purchase the SuperTuck? I have heard of a few cases of clips breaking, and as you suggested they are always immediately replaced. I haven't heard anything about the kydex cracking. I've heard a lot of good things about these holsters, and mine is on order. I would suggest you call Crossbreed about the kydex, they have an amazing reputation for customer service.
