Any of you MF'ers have experience with them, or care to provide other suggestions?
I'm replacing an Uncle Mikes that I actually liked a lot, but it failed to retain once recently

I guess you will just have to wear it so that the crosses are upside down......Zonk 1/75 wrote:“Christbreed” was still kind enough to sell me a rig, crosses and all, even though I lack religion or guilt......

No problem here, I carry a full size 1911 with a crossbreed and find it to be very concealable. I can't tell you about the ambi safety issue since mine is not. Shouldn't be too much of a problem swapping it out for a standard safety, unless you are a lefty. I am not too fat yet but am working on it, 6'1, 185. I have heard complaints about the metal clips scratching up expensive gun belts but I don't worry too much about that.cams wrote:Was thinking of buying one myself, but right now am using a heavy nylon IWB from a company called Elite Survival Systems ( .com ) cost me 20.00 and been using it for months now.
The reason I am liking this holster is this, I carry a 1911 off duty (duty weapon), and also have a Blackhawk Serpa for plainclothes work, but because of the ambidextrious safety, it tends to get knocked off of "safe" mode in the Serpa quite often, which cause's me to flag myself by checking the lever under my clothes too often. This happens with other guys here as well, unfortunately, right now the Serpa is the only "authorized" plainclothes work holster for this weapon.
The "Elite" holster has higher coverage that keep the safety covered on both sides and rides low in the pants, fairly comfortable, but the safety cover is my main concern at this point.
Anyone ever have this issue w/crossbreed and an external safety?
Since the CB is molded plastic on leather inside the pants, is it very bulky/visible inside the waistband when not covered by a jacket or long shirt?
