Supertuck Break-in Period - Page 2

I'd say give it the two weeks. Mine shaped to my form very well over that time. Don't even feel it there most of the time. Crossbreed is pretty good on their warranty, so send it back if you still can't make it work.

Pretty much what most others are saying. I tried 3:00 but it was uncomfortable on my leg. Placed the holster at about 4-4:30 and life was good. When I sit in the car I normally unholster or I am heading somewhere that I cannot carry anyhow so I have to leave it at home. And if you need a good belt I have a 37" long 1 3/4" wide Wilderness Tactical Original Instuctor's I need to get rid of.

The stiffer cowhide definitely took me solid two weeks to get properly broken in. I have several in cowhide .. I think I might actually go back to horsehide the next time around though as there was zero breakin on the model I have in that!

As others have stated, I can't personally carry at 3:00, try sliding it back to say 4:30 - 5:00 and don't assume the clip needs to be in the same holes front & rear. I like the forward most hole to be in the second from the bottom hole and the rear in the bottom hole for my G27.

Give it some time, great holster and company!

I'm on day 4 with my new supertuck....after day 3 and working outside in the heat for a few hours it had conformed to my hip. I wear it at 4 o'clock and it now feels great. I'm fighting condensation on my gun though so I'm going to try some oil to waterproof it. Hopefully it was just the humidity causing it.

Thats funny, when i spoke to Mark over the phone he said that the horsehide, being a denser material is stiffer than the cowhide???
