CrossBreed all the way

What you see here is three views of a CrossBreed SuperTuck with a Walther PPS, the third one with some change for a sense of scale. Crossbreed also makes an OWB model called the SnapSlide, and some other IWB models, plus mag carriers, belts, and a Velcro-backed holster called (cutely) the Ohai, which is designed to stick just about anywhere, I have one on the way for MrsBFD's purse gun.
I'm not affiliated with CrossBreed in any way, except as a satisfied customer. Their product is cheaper than 3-4 off-the-shelf holsters, is custom molded, and I find it very comfortable compared to the $25 neoprene holster I started out with.
 
Do any of you have problems with the Serpa holster wearing the finish off of your handguns? My old service M9 was almost half black half stainless from my holster.

I had a SERPA for a 1911 for a short time. I didn't use it enough to get any wear.

However, I will say any plastic holster will wear away the gun's finish. Leather holsters will too depending on the leather, the fit, and how dirty it is.
It's just a basic fact that if you holster a gun repeatedly then it will wear.

The best thing you can do is:
-keep it clean. Plastic holster can be cleaned with hand soap and water, then let dry
-cut off/lightly trim any spots inside the holster that rub the gun excessively
-polish any scuffed spots inside the holster with 800+ grit sandpaper and polishing compound
-holster and draw it as little as possible
-if the gun moves/rattles inside the holster then ditch it and get a different one. lots of movement can wear down the contact points
 
This is my Sig P229R SS Elite in a Galco CON250H. Yes - it's OWB, and yes - I carry it every day, everywhere I go. Untucked shirt tails are back in style, right??

:D


Even being a pretty heavy gun, it fits comfortably and is very easily concealed with normal clothes.

Nothing fancy, an older Lawrence 120. Basically a Threepersons type, but Keith claimed some credit in the Lawrence version. Excellent for all day carry, you can forget you have it on. Doesn't hang up on vehicle seats, chairs, the ground, etc when sitting, and out of the way when working or doing anything else.

Colt 1991A1 Commander. The holster is a "Master." An inexpensive knock-off of someone's design I'm sure. Works quite nicely. Mag pouch is from the same company IIRC.

The revolver is a Smith & Wesson Model 19, in bright nickle. The holster and belt are Smith & Wesson also. An elegant weapon for a more civilized age.

Ruger Single-Six and it's little brother the Bearcat in Ruger COWS holsters.

Milt Sparks has served me well:) Watch Six with my S&W SC Commander, now replaced with a Kimber Ultra Carry II

Colt Commander in a Blade Tech IWB. These days, its a P229, mostly the same version holster.
