Comp-Tac -vs- Crossbreed

[Eric]

I just got a versa-carry holster in the mail today and I"m not really happy with it so I'm decided to purchase a either the Comp-Tac Minotaur or Crossbreed Super Tuck. I would love to hear everyone's 2c.
I Live on MA- north shore any know of any places that carry either so I won't have to wait a couple of weeks.

I haven't seen any comp-tacs in any stores. If your looking to try one out, meet up with me, and you can check mine out. I'm in Saugus. They ship pretty quick.

 

[DitchDigger]

Bought a comp-tac and I am happy with it and turn around time was quick. Good company

The metal clips on a supertuck can scratch your belt if you're wearing it with leather.

I rock a Comptac Mtac for my glock. Love it

Ditto. Plus, if you switch carry guns you can just buy a new kydex body.

Before this turns into a "this is better than that" thread. Let me say I have no experience with the crossbreed, but I do love the comp-tac, and just the fact that you can swap out the kydex shells, make it worth even more. I've seen the 2 side by side, and the quality of the comp-tac is far superior IMHO.

Just ordered a Comptac minotaur for my glock, hope to be happy and will report my review.

Enjoy the smarties!

 

[Eric]

Andy- Which comp-tac model do you have?

 

[Independence Arms]

Minotaur. Set up for a Glock 19 but I have the spare bodies for a 1911 and a Glock 36.

 

[Spike it!]

I can vouch for this, it did a number on my leather belt. There are a lot of people who sell holsters on ebay (including myself). You might get lucky and find the right model.

 

[bdarg]

Fwiw I own both and prefer the minotaur.

I own a Crossbreed and it's nice but I didn't like the standard belt hooks. They have little crosses on them which seems good for branding but seems to be a dead giveaway that you're carrying. I paid the extra $10 to get the more discreet plain hooks. That being said, I've seen a Comp-Tac and it looks pretty much the same as the Crossbreed.

If I were buying another of this style, I would probably go with the Comp-Tac. Only drawback is that for these types of holsters, if you want to take the holster off, you basically need to pull your pants down. If I were going in the post office I would just take the gun out and leave the holster on.

 

[Independence Arms]

Just need to loosen the belt. No need for de-pantsing.

 

[retroLS1]

I have a Crossbreed and love it. I think it's pretty much going to be a win vs. win - either are good choices... you can't go wrong with either one.

 

[Eric]

I think he's just looking for an excuse to pull his pants down!

^This. When I got my super tuck and new belt last week, the scratches were the first thing I noticed. So, I changed the clips to the plastic ones that came with the holster. No more scratches (not very noticeable because I caught it in time). It's a comfortable holster and the gun belt I bought to go along with the holster makes a big difference.

As said, you can't go wrong with either. I personally own the CB, and love it, but will try the Comp tac next time just because the interchangeable kydex shells make more sense to me. You shouldn't need to have a separate holster for each gun (unless you have lot's of disposable income, and like having complete rigs ready to go). I personally like the metal clips on the CB, but I don't use a leather belt, so scratches are a non issue for me.

I must just be lucky as I have two Crossbreds and thier belt and havent noticed any scratching

I have a Crossbreed Supertuck and I love it. It's been suiting me well for 2 years now.

Who isn't?

What gun do you carry with the supertuck? I'm looking for a good IWB for my SW1911SC E Series. I have wanted to buy a Crossbreed holster for a year or so, but never pulled the trigger(for my Springfield XD40).

 

[jasons]

Fwiw I own both and prefer the minotaur.

I also own both only I prefer the Crossbreed.

 

[Independence Arms]

I have the shell for the 1911 E series if you would like to try the MTAC.

I also own both only I prefer the Crossbreed.

Then you should sell me the comp tac backing, so I don't need to keep switching.

I have a Tommy Theis holster that is very similar to the Supertuck but has Kydex clips. Came quick with a lifetime warranty. http://theisholsters.com/

I have the shell for the 1911 E series if you would like to try the MTAC.

Hrmmmmm, quite possibly... anywhere near Worcester MA?

Right now I have the p226 shell on the Comp-Tac for the once in a blue moon that I actually carry that brick. The PM9 shell sits in my box of misfit if holsters. Probably not really worth selling unless you want to buy both shells.

 

[30Mauser]

Never tried the Crossbreed, but love my Minotaur for full-sized 1911. Note that I don't even need to loosen my belt to remove the holster, but loosening it makes putting it on easier. The kydex belt loops are open at the bottom and slide easily over the belt.
