well I've ordered a new Crossbreed to try. Went with the Reckoning. It has the ability to be used as a IWB or the OWB so my thinking is if I don't like it one way, I will hopefully like it in the other configuration. We'll see.

At the risk of getting flamed or maybe even banned...
Anyone still use a fanny pack holster? I have a couple nice ones that are great when hiking.
And how funny that 2 people on the thread have old Astra's. :)
As long as your trigger is safe in it ... but I wouldn't use one.Quote:

That, plus being a Safariland fanboi leads me to the 7378 and similar holsters.
Many of the 7378 holsters come with both belt loops and paddle, so you can swing both ways. :)
Because I have a thumb position honed by years of putting my thumb over a 1911 safety, pressing the lever back to release the handgun from the holster actually comes at zero cost - it's just what my thumb does as I come down on the grip.
...and their price is quite reasonable. Though buying one off-the-shelf is nearly impossible, so I typically turn to Optics Planet for Safariland holsters.

got my new crossbreed about a week ago, and so far have been wearing it in the IWB configuration, and am surprised that it's more comfortable than I would've guessed it would be. I might just become more of a IWB wearer than an OWB wearer.
