Leather-backed IWB holster opinions

[Lou McGopher]

Comp-tac Minotaur vs. Crossbreed Supertuck vs. Kholster Infinity

I'm interested in hearing the opinions of people who have owned at least two of these models, for direct comparison.

If you've only tried one of these, no need to chime-in, unless you had a really bad experience with it that you haven't already documented here on THR.

Relevant info:
My firearm is an XD 45 Compact, 4" barrel. I'm 6'2", 210 lbs. I wear my pants low on my waist, and usually wear my shirt untucked.

Thanks in advance!

I have both a Crossbreed and an MTAC.

I much prefer the Comp-Tac model. Built to higher quality standards, it makes the Crossbreed look somewhat cheap by comparison, and it appears that it would last much longer.

That being said, both work. If you do go with the Crossbreed, I suggest you get the optional cut away to get a firing grip.

Thanks!

Does one feel more comfortable than the other, or hold the weapon more securely?

I have an MTAC I bought after I returned the Supertuck during the trial period. It's awesome and I agree with Solitude's comments. The MTAC holds my XD45 compact more securely for me. Two reasons - one is the retention bump that holds the trigger guard plus the easily adjustable retention screws. The other is that the muzzle of the gun is completely covered and therefore cannot be easily popped out by something pressing against the muzzle. The MTAC is more comfortable and takes up less room on your belt. Concealment is awesome..I've been using with shorts and t-shirt and it conceals far better than any other holster I've had. I did adjust the front clip up to offer more forward cant. The "combat cut" option of the Supertuck comes standard on MTAC.

A better comparison of the Supertuck is the Comp-tac Spartan. It's closer to the Supertuck in price and quality although the kydex is probably still going to be better quality with the Comp-Tac.
