Crossbreed VS Comp-Tac Minatour

General comparison between two very similar holsters. Both these holsters are very popular among the people who like hybrid holsters. These are just general differences on materials and construction of each holster.

Another great video!......, please tell me your thoughts on the " spacing "of the belt clips on both of these holsters. In other words does the "wider spacing" between the belt clips distribute the weight more, making it a more comfortable carry? Does one holster carry better than the other?.....Thanks!

@shellman1973 Hi and thank you. Best example I can think of is if you can imagine a clothesline stretched out. If you place a hanger with a pair of jeans on it, you will notice that the hanger will put quite a strain on the clothesline since all the weight is concentrated on a single point on the hanger. Take the same hanger and unwind it and make two hooks the width of the hanger and you'll notice that the weight is distributed to a wider section of the clothesline.

@shellman1973 This distribution of the weight will make carrying a heavy gun much less noticeable and more comfortable. I dont know if that makes much sense, but the more weight you distribute over a greater area instead of on a concentrated on a narrow area means you feel less of the weight. Pair it up with a nice dedicated gun belt and you've got a comfortable carry system with either holster.

Great review. I wonder if in that you decided to purchase a second IWB rig if you considered the Black Mamba. I'm trying to decide between the 3 of them. The BM is the new kid on the block and from perusing their product line they seem to have some great products with different sizes. For example, their is a micro Mamba that I am considering for use with my Kahr PM9.

In the meantime, as I try to make a choice, I got a Remora.

@skykink Hello, Yes I have purchases several more IWB from Crossbreed as well as Comptac. I have never heard of the BM holsters though. I will have to take a closer look at them. Thanks for the info.

"Combat Cut" Not making fun of you. Is this the new term for trimming a holster? Very nice review. I use a Milt Sparks VMII and after watching your review, I think these are really good holsters at a good price. Thanks for the time you put into the video. I learned a lot about the two holsters.

@Paulsfullofshit hi, this is the term used by the holster companies and not what I came up with. Basically its a specific cut so that you can get a full grip on the pistol before you draw the weapon out.

I have a Crossbreed holster and you can adjust the retention by heating the kydex with a hair blow drier and pressing around and in the trigger guard. I also adjust the tightness of my belt to fine tune the retention.

I just got my comptac today and my g30 is much better conceiled then in my DeSantis which is a great holster used it all winter. I love how you can change the kydex to any gun you wanna carry for 40 bucks about. Also very easy to drop or hieghten the holster as you feel fit. Havent used it yet but will all week. I think now i can keep my g30 all summer. Nice review my first opion is good holster. Also clips are pretty cheap if get worn out to replace.

Nice video! Check out my review if you would. I'd like the feedback! Thanks!

[skykink]

Let me know what you think after visiting their website and perhaps viewing their video on FB. They are basically a family run, start up business apparently, who seem very serious about putting out a top product with lifetime warranties. I'd be interested in your take.

Thanks for the video. I was wondering how well the Com-Tac holster covers the trigger guard. Were both of these holsters made for the same gun? Just looking at the kydex, it looks like the Crossbreed lets the gun sit deeper into the kydex, covering the trigger guard better. Is that the case (it's hard to tell just looking at the kydex molding of the two)?
