I think my future Rock will be very happy riding in the Crossbreed, while my CCO is used primarily in the Milt Sparks.
I'm not somewhere I can carry concealed anyhow.
I got a Comp-Tac for my P245 that seems appropriate for that little feller...
But for the Kobra Carry (and class tomorrow) I've got an OWB Galco "Fletch" - the idea of Kydex on stainless is just disturbing.

I've heard a lot of good things about the VM2 - and for the old 1943 GI Colt I have a barely-used Summer Special that I got from a friend for a good price...but...it seems bulky on my skinny ass. Is there something I SHOULDN'T do???

Holster fit is very individual. What works for some is completely uncomfortable to others.

It sounds like you shouldn't go on a diet.

I've been leaning very hard towards the Maxtuck from White hat holsters. Looks like they copied the Crossbread but used plain belt clips. The crosses on the clips draws attention to something I'm trying to hide. I haven't found one review or video that hasn't said the crossbread was the most comfortable holster. I'm guessing it's mainly because it's spread out so far and distributes the weight? If so wonder why others haven't copied the design and replaced the kydex with leather.

Uhhhh..... Koz..... someone has. Go to our own Lane's website. Make life easy.... here's the url for ya. The Cotep Deacon is what you are looking for.... the commander also. Lane can do it with plain clips. That's what he's building for me as we speak.

Thanks for the link. Can you tell me if the clips are adjustable? My one concern which has been my biggest concern with leather holsters is the stiffness at the muzzle end of the holster. The one I have now pokes me in the arse and that's not something I'm fond of. The Crossbread and Maxtuck have a flat flap that separates the gun from your body which I would suspect would feel more comfortable..? This holster seems to be about as close to the crossbread and its in leather but not what I pictured in my mind... Not sure if what I had in mind can even be made and still be supportive. I think if Garrett Industries would get together with White Hat and make a Maxtuck with a leather lined Kydex they would have a winner.

Is Lane still making holsters? I clicked on the link and it took me to a Go Daddy page.
