I bought a used PM9 that came with a Crossbreed Mini-Tuck holster, so I figured that I'd give it an extensive test while on vacation in VT and NH. What follows are my opinions of this holster, based on wearing it for 8 days straight. [NOTE: I am a huge fan of the Milt Sparks VMII and thus my comparison is largely between the two holsters.]
- I found that the leather is thin and thus the gun seems a bit uncomfortable to me all the time.
- Since the gun never left the holster for 7 of those 8 days, one day when I picked it up, the gun dumped out on the carpet. This will NOT happen with a MS VMII!
- Total comfort between the two holsters is like night and day. But if you've never tried a VMII, you likely will like the Crossbreed as it is a lot better than most of the cheap holsters out there.
- The design does not contour to the body/belt nearly as well as the VMII. Looks like a huge tumor on my side when I look in the mirror w/o a shirt over it.
YMMV, but you can expect to see this in the For Sale section shortly. I do think that the PM9 makes a better pocket gun than an IWB gun, I'll stick to carrying something bigger on the belt.
