Crossbreed Supertuck Horsehide or Cowhide?

NRATodd · December 29th, 2008, 02:49 PM

I'm going to order my Crossbreed Supertuck soon and was wondering about people's opinions on horsehide or cowhide on this particular holster. I live in Minnesota where it is very humid in the summer- I've heard horsehide can be better for that. How is comfort affected though? I hear Crossbreed is one of the most comfortable holsters out there. Does the horsehide make it less comfortable? Not a major point- but I really wish the horsehide came in black- I think it is more discreet and looks better Thanks

Even with the humidity I've had no problems with my cowhide Supertuck...

I have horsehide and it gets very hot in southwestern Oklahoma, but I never had an issue with mine absorbing sweat.

I voted for cowhide. I live in Florida (capital of heat and humidity) and my cowhide Supertucks work just fine. I sweat a lot and have never had a problem with my holsters. I like the look of the black better too.

I'm wearing a horsehide Supertuck now. Very comfortable

I own two cowhide Supercross Tucks. I couldn't stand the idea of a horsehide one.

I have 3 Crossbreeds, 2 Super-Tuck in Horsehide and a quick clip in Cowhide. There is definitely a difference between the two in my opinion, my preference is to the Horsehide. The cell structure is definitely denser on the horsehide and the back side of the leather is smoother, I do not notice any difference in one being more grippy than the other. I believe the horsehide is much more impervious to sweat than the cowhide. I live in Florida and do not deal to well with the heat and humidity thats why I stay with the horsehide.

All my quality holsters are black horsehide. I wonder why they don't offer this horsehide model in black? I don't want a tan holster glaring out, but I don't want cowhide either. It's keeping me from making a purchase.

Didn't vote, as I don't want to be partly responsible for someone giving less money to CB if the OP decides to go the cowhide route.

That being said, I live in FL and have a black cowhide holster. No problems with sweat for me, but then again, I sweat very little.

And why would a tan holster "glare out" more than a black one? Concealed is concealed.
