I'm 6'3" 275lb and have no problems with the IWB option. I do have to roll the tail of my XXLT shirts just a bit to tuck in neatly, but it works just fine.
Hey Pug, thanks for the words but I don't think I have a chance on this site with all the Crossbreed owners...

I have both a SuperTuck and a MiniTuck...no complaints. Wear one or the other all the time.

One thing that possibly should have been mentioned is that no matter the holster or how thin/small the gun is, it can be seen - just not recognized as a gun unless the observer is very observant and knows what to look for. Keep in mind that the object isn't to make the gun invisible, it should just be unrecognizable as a gun.
No sir, that bulge isn't a gun, it is one of those evil Droids!

That's one problem I have tucking while wearing jeans and my Glock 19 in a Supertuck, the giant growth on my hip at 3:30. I ordered another Crossbreed holster for my Kahr CM9 and will try appendix carry when I have to tuck. The bulge is less noticable there than on the hip and the Kahr is thinner as well.

A Crossbreed with a CM9 should be all but invisible, even at the 3:30, with a tucked in shirt (unless it is a form fitting type of shirt). I can wear my Kahr PM9 in a MiniTuck with a little too small t-shirts and it does not print. I think you will be really happy with this holster. My primary EDC is a Springfield XDm 3.8" 9mm Compact in a SuperTuck, and it conceals wonderfully! When I put on my MiniTuck, I almost can't tell it is there.

If you dont have 4 to 6 weeks to wait on a crossbreed or want a sub until it arrives.I HIGHLY recommend the Parker IWB. Its similar to the CB but only cost 40 bucks.
I swear by it. I carry the XD .40 and I wear mostly paper thin T-shirts(Quiksilver/Express) and my Iphone in my pocket shows more than my gun.
It feels so comfortable AND its tuckable. You can also adjust how deep you want it to sit in your waist. It was a great find for me and it got here in 3 business days.

here is a video of a review I did a few months ago...

Thank you for your video review. It convinced me the Crossbreed Supertuck was a lot better that what I had been using as a tuckable. So I ordered one in horsehide. I wear a suit, white shirt and tie every day. This will be so much more comfortable when I don't have the suit coat on - most of the time. Now I just have to be patient for about 4-6 weeks!!!
Much obliged to you for an excellent video review.
I commend it to all other considering a tuckable IWB holster.
No prob man, glad to be able to help others out. I, too, was concerned with how I was going to able to carry at work with my dress code, but I can tell you that for the last 6 months, no one has been the wiser. Only prob is that light colored shirts tend to allow the underlying black color of the grip to be slightly visible. I dont ever wear white, but I have had to give up on my yellow and light pink
Once again a big thank you for pointing me to the Crossbreed!
Three weeks to delivery. It arrived on Saturday and was so comfortable right out of the mailer. I'll probably wear it daily. The tan horsehide will be less visible under the white shirt I wear M-F than black would have been.

Wear my CrossBreed every day. It looks a lot worse for the wear, compared to when I first got it. I have worked so hard, in the sun, that I have sweated right through it, I have worn a dirty gun in it, the imprint of the gun is permanently in the horsehide, and it is still the best holster I have. I think it will wear forever. If you have any problem, send it back to Mark, and they will make it good.
