Supertuck with Colt XSE ?

[duddini]

Hi all,

I just received my plastic, and looking forward to carrying. I have definitely decided to carry a .45 of some flavor in a IWB rig. I am leaning towards a Colt XSE Lightweight Commander and a crossbreed supertuck, but I have some concerns that the front serrations on the XSE will hang up when drawing from a IWB holster.

Does anyone carry this setup (XSE and an IWB holster) ? Is this a legitimate concern, or am I just being a dumb rookie ?

Thanks for any input,
Bob

No such critter on here. As a matter of fact, you are being a smart and concerned person with your question.

Someone will come along shortly to answer your question about the XSE

Your best bet would be to give Trent owner of crossbreed holsters a call. Ask or email him your concerns and I am sure he will promptly respond with your concerns. He is a very trustworthy and honest person who will take care of you. He may even be able to modify the super-tuck to address your needs. He also includes a 2 week no questions asked return policy, so if you get it, and don't like it, you get a full refund.

Well, it looks like my question is mute. I just checked around town, and there is not a single XSE available, in any flavor. I had no idea they were so hard to get, they won't even put me on a waiting list.

Guess I need to start a new search for a carry .45

Thanks anyways guys,
Bob

I carry a full sized Colt XSE in a UBG holster and have had no issues.

I carry a Springfield Loaded on occasion in either a MTAC (similar to your Supertuck) or a Galco OWB holster. That gun has front cocking serrations on the slide, and has never given me any more trouble on drawing than any other gun I own, in any other holsters I own.

I assume that is what you were talking about when you say "front serrations?"

I carry a Combat Elite. The only problem I have had with front cocking serrations is they pick up holster fuzz. Little leather shavings.
