Ive been carrying a 9mm PPS, the cadillac of slim, every day for a little over a year, in an MTAC. Nice slim package thats really easy to carry. I only use a T-shirt to cover it.

I recently wanted to upgrade my firepower, while trying to keep all the "slimness" i possibly could. I looked at pics online of the MTAC and the CBST. The CBST looked slimmer, so i decided on a G23 (still trying to find one) with the CBST.

The CBST came in the mail today. Time to use the new digital calipers ...

MTAC minitaur for PPS width = 1.28"

CBST for G23/G17/G19/G23/G22/G31/G32/G34/G35 = 1.31"

I dont have the glock yet, but I'm really happy with these numbers. Width, by far being the most important factor for ccw IMO, has only changed ever so slightly as you can see. Plus the CBST feels like it holds closer to body, clips are better. And I am going from 8 rounds of 9mm on tap, to 14 rounds of .40 S&W. Also, the glock only weighs 1oz more. A really good trade off as far as I can tell so far. :D

Opinions?
 
I just got my CrossBreed SuperTuck for my Glock 27 in today, and I couldn't agree more. The thinness is outstanding for the overall package. I am really happy with my entire rig so far. I'll be placing an order in for a CrossBreed belt tomorrow once I do the measurements to make the system even better!
 
The CBST I have is the last thing I use for IWB carry, it's overly stiff and uncomfortable for more than 2 hours of wear. Got rid of my G23 several years ago for a G36 and a G19. Personal differences....
 
I’m glad someone knew what CBST meant as there were at least 63 acronyms for it if not more.:what::)
 
the crossbreed belts are perfect for me. ive tried other belts from beltman, bullhide belts, etc but returned them. the crossbreed was by far the best functioning, best looking, and cheapest. go figure! i got one in brown and black, followed the sizing chart and they're ideal.

i suppose i still have the option to go with the g19 since it fits all the same holsters. but thats a whole 'nother can of worms i guess.
