Nope. I have never had a problem with my standard cut. I have pretty thin hands, though. I could see how some people might have a problem.
What do you suggest I use to cut it with Clay? Sharp kitchen scissors, exacto knife, tin snips?I'd cut it, I can't stand not being able to get a full grip before you draw, it should be a pretty simple thing to do as well.

Which begs the question: why are they available " wrong" in the first place?Proper initial grip is vital. Congrats on considering the question at all. More people who carry need to actually train and see if their gear/setup really is as good as they think it is and test their skills and technique.
Perhaps a holster mfg not understanding holster design and or trade off.Which begs the question: why are they available " wrong" in the first place?
I do not understand why a maker would charge extra for something that should have been done in the first place, and involves little, if any extra effort in the manufacturing process.Perhaps a holster mfg not understanding holster design and or trade off.
Big sweat shield protects the gun and body but limits the grip.
No sweat shield no protection but provides a full grip.
I cut my crossbreed and will not be ordering anymore holsters without the combat cut knor will I be paying extra for combat cut.
Because they can, and people keep paying for it ... and saying "thank you," to boot.I do not understand why a maker would charge extra for something that should have been done in the first place, and involves little, if any extra effort in the manufacturing process.
Perhaps there leather is die cut, The combat cut would require either hand cutting more labor and or ordering a new die more money.I do not understand why a maker would charge extra for something that should have been done in the first place, and involves little, if any extra effort in the manufacturing process.
Just curious, who says they are 'wrong'? Because it's not how you like ? Based upon info on their web site only their combat cut is firearm specific not one size fits all, and only a small percent of their customers want that option. See below from the Crossbreed FAQOriginally Posted by rednichols

The Combat Grip is where we trim away some of the leather from the holster backer.
This allows a firmer grasp on the gun during the draw stroke. This modification does sacrifice a little bit of comfort but does increase the draw speed. This is an extra cost option because this cut is made to follow the contour of the slide/grip of the individual firearm and varies from one gun to another.
Approximatley 20% of our customers like this option, the others either have no preference or feel it sacrificess too much comfort.
Options for the other 80% may include dont want to pay extra for something they can do themselves if they feel the need, or dont have a clue one way or the other as to how and why.Just curious, who says they are 'wrong'?
