I'm biased to MTAC, but I believe both are really good.

Thanks for the pics - since I originally started this thread, however, I Went another way:

Got my Bladetech Nano in

AresXD40 · November 23rd, 2008, 12:52 PM

No problem! I figured it would help out, Bladetech makes a nice holster as well!

How do ya'll guys feel about that large piece of leather that is underneath the holster? I didn't think I'd care for having such a large thing up against my side - another reason I went with the bladetech.

It personally doesn't bother me one bit. IMO it adds to the comfort. I have had a couple of IWB completely kydex holsters and it felt like they cut into my side. Another plus with the Supertuck is the fact that with the large piece of leather your whole side becomes the support, not just your belt and waistband. Which is nice with a fairly heavy piece like the XD40 service.

I agree.

Although I haven't had mine very long, the somewhat little that I've worn it, the leather doesn't bother me at all. As AresXD40 said, it adds to the support and therefore the comfort. Shipwreck, you should give it a try. If you don't like it you can return it to Crossbreed within two weeks. If it takes you longer than that to decide that you don't like it, they keep their value pretty well. With the crazy amount of good reviews that they receive, and the two week trial, I'm surprised you didn't give it a try. I'm glad you like the nano though.

Well, I'm broke at the moment. I have to pay that USPc45 off, the 4 extra mags I ordered, 1500 rounds of 5.7x28mm, and the Bladetch holster. I'm el broko.

I'm satisfied with the bladetech enough that I'll stick with this fornow. I really like it. I generally find 1 holster I like for each gun, and stick with it (for a specific carry style - like 1 OWB holster and 1 IWB holster). So, unless I dislike the bladetech for some reason down the line, I'll stick with that.

Now, I am having a problem with another holster - I have owned several FLETCH holsters for OWB, however, and I'm having some issues with the one for this USPc 45 - it is the holster specifically for the gun. Unless I draw it at a specific angle, it gets hung up.

I have owned numerous FLETCHs, and never had this problem before.

The one for my FNP 9 even works for the USPc45, but the strap won't work for cocked and locked. But, that holster works fine on the draw for the USPC45. I don't know what's wrong with this specific GALCO holster.

I don't wanna be in a situation where I need to draw the gun and can't.

I plan to talk to Galco, and unless I get that resolved, I won't use it (and will only use the Nano).
