I think this is the post you were looking for:

That looks familiar, like what I have, but new...
I am still extremely happy with the holster and it has been my EDC since I got it. I appreciate the "combat cut" at no additional charge, I have a standard CB for a G19 I need to cut down. Tommy was easy to deal with but shipping time was longer than what was stated here previously, about 3-4 weeks. I was not in a hurry when I ordered it and allow vendors all the time they need so when Tommy told me the lead time it was no big deal, I am happy he is busy.
I ordered it with the plastic clips (shown in the photo in the other thread) but have since gone to the metal clips. I figured the plastic would be easier on my belt but after using them a couple weeks I found they have sharp edges that were scratching. The metal clips are high quality and all edges are well rounded so the belt is fine with them. I recommend the metal clips.
The squeak factor was pretty high at first, I got it nice and broke in to minimize the squeaks then I changed to the metal clips and I had to change the hole I attached them to, which re initiated the break in squeak factor. After a couple of weeks of constant wear with the metal clips in the different holes it is getting quiet again.
As
jerry_r60 mentioned, there is a very small amount of space between the back of the holster and the trigger guard area. On my Kahr K9, it is about 1/4" open space. Since there is nothing between that and me except a tee shirt and the trigger itself is not exposed I don't see it as a problem, and the ability to grasp the whole grip (combat cut) negates any negative. I do find lint on the back of my trigger after being worn all day, but nothing a quick swipe with a rag can't fix. I would post a photo of the gap in mine, but can't find my camera.
I wear mine on the around 3:00 to 4:00 on the belt and usually under an untucked polo style shirt. It is a bit of compromise on where since it is most comfortable 4:00, but prints less at 3:00, so depending on what I am planning to do determines where I wear it. I typically don't care if someone sees the outline of the grip under my shirt, I can ignore questions or looks in public places, but if I plan to go somewhere I don't want to be made, I keep it at 3:00 and it's fine. I have worn it with a tucked in shirt and it worked fine, but untucked polo style shirts work better for me.
I can and do wear the holster all day, everyday. Even at work I wear the holster with the gun in a lock box in the car and then put the gun in the holster when I get off work due to company policy forbidding firearms (it says nothing about empty holsters.) I believe I was made once at Walmart, had a basket full of skeet targets waiting at the checkout line, the guy behind me struck up a conversation about clay shooting while we waited and once it was my turn to check out I noticed him looking at my waist while I was bent over getting a box out of the basket, but he didn't say anything other than "have a good shoot". Whatever, I have a lump, maybe it was an insulin pump.
I have a Crossbreed for my G19, I had one for a Kahr P40 I traded for my G19, and have nothing but good things to say about Crossbreed. I do prefer the Theis holster for the facts that the combat cut is no additional charge, it is overall less expensive, and it doesn't have the crosses on the clips. I am a Christian man, but I feel the crosses drawn attention to where you don't want it, so plain metal clips win in my opinion.
