    I like crossbreed.

    I do realize there are plenty of others out there that are as good if not better. I just like crossbreed, and like to support them. Their hybrid holsters are simple and as thin as they can be. I don't like the clips on the kydex because it adds bulk to that section of my belt. I also don't need retention screws or swap-able kydex because each holster for each gun. Light weight, thin and simple.

    If you don't wan't to flip the bill and wait months for a crossbreed you should really look at Crossbreed Holsters - Second Hand Holsters Cheaper, faster and just as good. That is where I buy all my crossbreed stuff. Half the price with only a two week turn around time.

    The really funny thing is I was able to find my Crossbreed holster in Illinois. I was at a range with a friend and they had a number of Crossbreed holsters there. I find it funny that I was able to get an IWB holster in Illinois and I cant find the same on here in Indiana.

    I love my Crossbreed, I wear it all and and forget I have my pistol on me. Even people who are close to me have no idea I'm carrying until I either tell them or they see my take it off when I get home.

    For anyone using a Kydex holster how do you like it? Leaning that way as I like the snug fit & seems it would have the best retention. More curious how comfortable they are especially for an IWB holster.

    I saw the second hand list, but they do not have what the IWB for XDS. I am thinking crossbreed is the way to go.

    Just a follow up, I got my mini tuck second from Crossbreed. Very comfortable and the price was great. Put it on and turned around to show my wife. When I asked her what she thought she said, "what? do you want me to look at your butt?". So, I guess it is pretty concealed as well.

    Nice I have been looking at getting one of these. Does anyone carry extra mags with them also? I saw crossbreed had some.

    I highly recommend a N82 tactical holster. It is specifically molded to fit your gun. I received mine for my PPQ M2 today and it is AMAZINGLY comfortable. I'm a small guy and wear fitted clothes and you can hardly tell I'm carrying IWB unless you're really looking.

    Anyone tried holsters from alien gear? Seems rather affordable. ? Way less then crossbreed. I have crossbreed for my glock 26. It felt heavy when I cc. Maybe because i have a very small built?

    I just sold the Alien Gear holster I had for my XDS. Wasn't a bad holster but I finally realized I'm not really a fan of those types of holsters. The leather & kydex are really thick compared to other holsters like them. So they are telling the truth about that but the thickness also means a longer break in time. For the money they aren't a bad choice if you like that style of holster.
