I have been carrying my XD9 in a Crossbreed Supertuck Deluxe for a year now and thought I would pass along my thoughts.
When I first received the holster I was quite impressed with the finish of the leather and kydex. After a year not much has changed except for the holster in now "molded" to my shape. The clips are very rugged and hold onto my Wilderness Tactical belt perfectly. The CBST hides this "larger" gun very well. I still think I look a bit....different when tucking with it but my friends haven't notice the difference.
It did take a more than a few times wearing it to decide where I liked the cant set and what position was best. FWIW I ended up with a 4:30 position (can still reach with weak hand if necessary) and a mild forward cant with the pistol riding low in the waist.
I think the retention was about perfect upon receiving but it did come with instructions on how to make it harder or easier to draw. I had issues with getting a positive purchase on the XD with out adjusting my hand during the draw cycle on a few occasions. I had declined the "combat cut" option upon ordering and I understand why it is an option. I cut a bit of leather from the holster that was about the same as the "combat cut" and it made a world of difference. A positive purchase everytime now.
All in all this is a great holster. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an IWB rig. The only issue was the bit of leather in the way of my thumb (webbing also) when drawing. It was a 5 minute fix that the company offered from the get-go.
I will be reviewing the Kholster in about 6 months if it is something that people would like to see.
Happy shooting,
