Opinions on IWB'ing Large Guns

[LPMan59]

np.

I know the King Tuk isn't the best holster out there. But for $50, it's hard to beat. And if you look at the pic of the back of it, you will notice that the cant is adjustable as well.

I'm a big guy and I never would have thought IWB would ever work for me. But like i said, i can carry a 1911 all day long with it.

And fwiw, I use the Comp-tac mag holders.

Do you think the Crossbreed SuperTuck would hold up just as well as Galco's IWB's?

Not too bad. Crossbreed also has one, I remember seeing it online for about 70 as well. How is Galco's warranty? Lifetime like Crossbreed's?

Thats a good question. Idk. They never really say "Warranty" in any of thier literature or on thier website. They say that they have a "satisfaction guarantee" and that they will repair or replace damaged holsters. But nowhere does it say "warranty".

I would assume its bc some states have funky laws about "warrantys" so they say "Guarantee" instead. Idk though.

i have never owned a Crossbreed, but I am inclined to say yes. The King Tuk is a copy afterall. And there are tons of satisfied Crossbreed customers.

You could be right about this. I'm not huge into the legal jargon/lingo. Honestly though, I don't think many of these manufacturers products are junk. They all look quality, and they look like the have a great design. I've personally ONLY ever had experience with Crossbreeds, and it held up for the limited amount of time I had it. I think I may just go this route, or with the deal LPMan found for me

EDIT: Well...yeah, I must acquire the gun first.

My very first ccw gun [approx. 35 years ago] was a Colt Trooper MKIII with a six inch barrell in a nice shoulder holster. Looking back, it was a royal PITA. I've carried many others since then and the older I get the simpler I like it. Now days it's either a J-frame in the pocket or a Kahr on the hip, IWB or OWB.

I think youll be really satisfied with both the Sig and the Galco holster.

I honestly prefer leather to kydex but thats just me, and I have more than a few Galco leather holsters that i really enjoy carrying.

Goodluck again im sure you will be really happy with your choices!

I carry a Full Size M&P9 in a Galco King Tuk every day

I carry a Kimber 1911 or Springfield XD Tactical in an MTAC. Very comfortable and concealable.

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

EDC is Para P12 in the Crossbreed minituck I got for my Taurus PT709. It's kind of short, but a doublestack .45, so it's sure not what you'd think of concealing. I just can.

 

[GuyRelford]

I usually carry a Kimber Stainless Pro Carry (Ist gen.) in a OWB leather Galco belt slide holster, but when I go IWB i carry the same gun in a Galco King Tuk (although I never tuck my shirt in over it).

I carry a full sized Wilson CQB in a Summer Special; the belt makes all the difference.

I've carried a Para 1911 with a shorter barrel (C7.45LDA) in a Crossbreed no problems.

 

[Cat-Herder]

I CC a 1911 stainless govt size in a leather IWB every day. The thick leather belt I wear makes it easy.

No Problem

I carry a full sized 460 Rowland conversion every day in a Desantis Intruder. They work well for me.
