I have read some of the posts on other threads regarding IWB carry and the types of holsters. It seems the Crossbreed super tuck is a preferred choice. I don't want to wait 4-5 weeks for the Crossbreed. The Comp-Tac Minotaur looks very similar and seems to have the same adjustability. I recently started carrying my Glock 19 9mm concealed IWB in a crappy blackhawk holster. I need to upgrade soon. The Comp-Tac is available from an online dealer in 2-4 days. Am I losing anything by not waiting the 4-5 weeks for the Crossbreed product?

I've also been looking into these brands and have read good things about both. One of the things that I thing makes the Crossbreed more popular is price. I also think they are better advertised. What I liked about the Comp-Tac is that you can buy different bodies and trade them out.
Love both of my minotaurs. One for G19 & G26 and one for me PM9.
So, which do you like better, not considering the Smarties?I have both. As I recall, had them both within about a week after putting in the order. Oh and Comtec sends smarties with theirs.leasantry:
I have a horse hide from crossbreed and use it quite often. When you order let them know USA Carry sent ya!

Crossbreed is at 4-5 weeks now?
Just over a year ago mine took 6 days...
FYI, Mark says he will be posting a new "Blem List" at XDTalk (he owns that site) on Tuesday...they are minor blemishes that he sells for cash at a reduced price (usually about $40 for a ST) on a first come first served basis.

Okay, I just ordered the CB STD in horse hide. I let them know that I was referred by USA Carry. The web site does say it can take up to 4 weeks for delivery. Hopefully, I will see the 5-6 day delivery that many of you have experienced. Thanks for all the feedback. I am looking forward to carrying my Glock 19 comfortably every day while I work and play.
Awesome. I'm sure you'll love it. Let us know when you get it.

CBST Horsehide
Remember when it first comes in it will be super stiff. Wear it and work up a sweat cutting grass or something. That will help it mold to the body. I have both the Crossbreed and the MTAC. Don't put any type of treatment on the leather just let it age naturally.
Wearing the MTAC right now but may breakout the CB and strap it back on.

I'm still looking at these and will invest one day. I'm used to using mink oil on all my leather products (boots, belts, hats, etc.) to protect them, are you suggesting not even this. I'm on a tight budget and would hate to mess one up by doing something wrong or not protecting it properly.

I found this post on xdtalk.com. It is from Mark Craighead. the owner of Crossbreed Holsters.

Your holster is made from a combination of cowhide or horsehide and a space age thermoplastic called kydex. To care for the leather portion of your holster, simply treat it once every four or five weeks with a good leather conditioner. Use a cream type product on the front side of the leather as some oil based conditioners may lift the dye. The kydex portion of your holster will simply need to be wiped down with a damp cloth as needed.
DO NOT use ANY oil based product on the front of a dyed holster, period.
Don't make more of the conditioning thing than it is, it's not that critical uness you are in a really dry climate.

I ride a morotcycle so I have alot of leather..jackets, chaps, gloves, etc but what I use is made especially for them. Conditioner and weather treatment. I have not put anything on either my Crossbreed or MTAC. At least not yet.
Hope this helps
