Crossbreed Super Tuck- Break in period?

[Runt1122]

I have one of these and it seems to be pretty stiff and not very comfortable like many people say. Is there a break in period you have to go through?

a solid month of hard wear. I have mine and it took 2 of off and on use.

wear it wherever you can. Around the house even. It gets so comfy you almost forget you are wearing it. I actually prefer it to ALL of my OWB options.

Just like every other hybrid holster...it takes a few weeks of use to really conform to the spot in which you like it.

Is this made of horsehide? If so it will take a bit longer than cowhide. I have several hybrid holsters and overall I find them to be the best most comfortable holsters I've ever owned.

Here's something that might help - oil it, much like you would a baseball glove. I use saddle oil on mine (bought it at Tractor Supply). It helps reduce the squeaking too.

Thank you for all of tips. I will try them out!

I also rubbed mine with lanolin on the skin side. mine was a bit rough and the lanolin softened it up a bit without making it the least bit floppy. And I ended up slathering it on and heating it with a hair dryer to get it to soak in. Now its VERY nice.

I couldnt find leather products that were JUST lanolin, so I used some of the wife's breastfeeding cream... Lansinoh... in a purple tube if you need to find some in the baby section of the store. Its like vaseline, but made from lanolin instead of petroleum.

I used a small amount of mink oil on mine and it seems to help the leather loosen up. Don't go overboard.

As said above, mine got more comfy in about a month. Part that needed the most break in was the lower front corner, as I wear mine at 3 o'clock and that's where I needed some walking and sitting flexibility the most. I saddle soaped mine a few times in the first couple months and that helped.

Mine never got that comfortable, but it did improve. I don't doubt the folks who say their's is comfortable, it just doesn't work for my body, where I position my holster, and my firearm.
