I just received my permit and have been carrying a Gen4 G26 in a CBSTD Horsehide/Combat cut. I am a lefty and wear at around 8:00. Just curious, those who have a CBSTD, where do you wear it and what holes do you have the clips set on? I have read some comments that you will find your "sweet spot" and some mention they forget they have it on. Compared to not carrying, I don't think I will ever not notice I am carrying. I am 5'5" and weigh 145 lbs (not overweight but very fit and muscular). Been trying different cants and not quite sure I've found my sweet spot. Thanks in advance.
How do you wear your Crossbreed Supertuck Deluxe?

Congrats on your permit and decision to carry!
I have the same CBSTD-Horsehide/Combat cut, but right side and for a Glock 23 Gen4.
I wear mine in an exact mirror of yours, at 4 o'clock. My forward clip is at the top hole and the rear one is at the third down from the top. This puts the mouth of the kydex at the top of my jeans waistband. The cant is forward enough to keep the grip from sticking out the back of my shirt and still allows me to bend side-to-side without jabbing myself. The barrel of this G23 extends downward and back to just above my right-rear pocket.
I've always worn sleeveless t-shirts tucked in and now have since wearing flannel/light plaid shirts untucked either over a tee or by itself. With summer finally here, they're gonna lose the sleeves too!

I have the CBSTD-horsehide without the combat cut. Carry it with a M&P 40c at about four o'clock. My forward clip is second hole from top and rear clip is in top hole. I always know it is there but it is not uncomfortable to carry. I also wear pants with waist one size larger.leasantry:

I am a lefty and I wear mine a hair forward of 9:00. When I got mine it came with the clips in the top holes and I didn't like that so I put it in the second hole. It was much better but not perfect, but after I wore it a few times and broke it in, I can't even tell I'm wearing it anymore. I too wear shorts a size bigger. I am going to try putting one on top and one on second to see if its even better; I never thought of that. I carry a Glock 30. What a great feeling having that insurance on your waist!!!

Crossbreed - outa the box perfection for me.
I recieved it (them, now). I put them on. I put the Glock in them and they are perfect. I didn't change the cant or adjust the belt clips, it was just fine. ...Yes, often I 'forget' I have it on in regard to comfort. It is the best damn holster for comfort AND for concealment that I've tried, and I've tried some expensive leather! :shout:
Oh, the combat grip... I took a pair of cutters and made by own on the second holster I purchased. The first supertuck I purchased with the cut, the second without after I realized I could easily cut my own. (saves a few bucks)

I wear mine kydex just at the belt-line. Then I adjust the clips for a slight forward cant. It doesn't provide a deep-cover carry, but it also keeps my belt directly on the kydex instead of partly on the kydex and partly on the pistol.
Placement is the firearm just behind the center-line of my leg. This is due to my having tree trunks for upper legs and believe me that leather will rub like crazy if it's too far forward. The nice thing is that it only takes an inch or two of movement forward or backward to alter comfort levels.

I too am a lefty. For more comfort i usually wear all of mine around 8 or 8:30. It conceals better at 9:00, however. If I move it more forward like 9:30 or 10 it becomes difficult to sit for very long. Just keep trying different positions until you find what works for you for a given situation.
Good luck,

A "combat" cut is where some of the excess leather is trimmed away. This is supposed to make it easier to get a proper grip before the draw and increase the speed of which you can draw.
I think both has held to be true for me. I also like it because it seems to be a little bit cooler when I wear the holster next to my skin; as ooppsed to wearing an under garmet.
-------------------------
As to the position I wear my CBST and my guns cant; I say it depends.
I'm a "Righty". So, if I wear dress clothes (without a jacket) and I "tuck", I wear my trimmed down CBST "Deluxe" at 1:00-2:00 (AIWB); in a slightly more straight cant.
If I'm dressed more casually and I'm not worried about tucking my shirt in, I sometimes carry at 3-3:30 in an FBI cant.
-------------------------------
What I have discovered is:
The dress pants & dress short I wear tend to produce more "bulge" than I like when carrying at 3-3:30. So, I either more to the AIWB (appendix) position or I wear a cover garmet that conceals to bulge. I find when I cary AIWB the "bulge" completely vanishes.
The only drawback I've found with AIWB is if you bend, squat, stoop or sit & stand a WHOLE LOT it can become uncomfortable. I think this has more to to with the "depth" of which the holster rides when I carry.
I could carry "higher". But, I like the "security" a little deeper ride offers. (It hasn't happened; but, it feels as if my gun god fall out when I carry "higher" in the AIWB position.)
Oh yeah, ONE more VERY important thing-
Buy one or two GOOD "gunbelts". I would also buy belts with the velcro lining on the inside. That way if you want COMPLETE concealment, you can get the "velcro" clips from Crossbreed which hide behind your belt. (This is really GREAT if you have to wear tucked "without" a cover garmet.)
Anyway, I hope this helps you.

Part of the reasoning with the combat cut is that you don't have to manipulate your thumb between the firearm and the leather of the holster. It's nice for polymer framed pistols, but I wouldn't suggest it for metal pistols or rough textured grips.
The metal pistols will be directly against the skin which is a guarantee that you'll be fighting rust, clean it daily and it's a non-issue. As for the rough textured grips, rub one on a bare arm and you'll understand exactly why I don't suggest the combat cut for a rough textured grip....think rough grit sandpaper against the skin.

I just got my CBSTD today, and after trying different positions for the clips, i think i have it adjusted were i like it the most. I have the front clip on the third hole from the bottom, and the rear clip on the bottom hole. Im also left handed and found the 8:00 position to be the most comfortable.

No t-shirt between the holster/gun and skin has not been an issue yet. Been wearing a CBST for a couple of years now concealing either a glock 23 or 27. The leather will need more attention of course in the hot, sweaty months of summer tho IMHO. No, Checkaw, I can't say there has been any real issues worth worrying about thus far wether it's summer or winter with the SuperTuck. In fact, I'd wear this holster to Front Sight although they don't recommend an IWB holster. I've been there a few times and I would feel comfortable next trip out there with the SuperTuck as it's easy to reholster and would stand up well, IMHO, to the day in and day out - all day work out for four straight days. I'd take a spare tho, as Murphy likes the Pahrump, NV area!
There are times when i do not want to tuck in my shirt, say some short of collared casual, and if I feel the gun may be exposed if I raise my arms thus raising the shirt bottom, well, I'll put a t-shirt on first and tuck that with the CBST. Then, all someone might see is t-shirt. I'll of course not stand there posing with my arms up so they won't get to look over the gun butt shape under the t-shirt so as to allow giving up my concealment... Again, there is no t-shirt between the holster leather/gun and skin and that has not yet been an issue over a few years now at all. -note- However you carry please train yourself that particular draw stroke until it's second nature and can be done without thinking as someone trying to kill you will cause the adrenaline to remove your ability to think about anything else than the immediate threat!!!
They have a sturdier belt clip now, having gone from the original (weak) kydex to a cross-shaped hole in the middle metal one that bent easily, to what they are using now. Initially, that was my only issue aside from price. In fact, I ordered a couple of extra clip-kits to replace them as they wore out. The current belt clip is much better tho.
Galco has come out now with a holster that is competing with CBST, the "Kingtuck", so CB musta got it right, as you know what the sincerest form of flattery is!
Soooo, long story short: No, not a problem for me yet with nothing between me and the holster/gun.
