Crossbreed holsters vs Galco Kingtuk and the Desantis holsters
I am always looking to carry a larger firearm but in a more comfortable manor. Several years ago I found out about the Crossbreed holsters and at first, they seemed very large and I didn’t understand how they could be more comfortable. Like I always do, I ask around amongst my friends to find out if you they ever heard of something before I spend a dime on it. Asking questions at a gun club or asking someone if you can try their firearm out is always the best way to get the feel of something. I heard about Trijicon ACOGS for years before I ever looked through one and my first impression was that I didn’t think a 4x optic was worth $800. They cost even more than that now.
I’ve tested a few of the Desantis and the Galco versions of these holsters and I have some pretty consistent feedback. I started out with the Desantis holsters that we stock so much of an I’ve known for years. We tested out the Desantis Scorpions and the Galco Kingtuk holsters for the Glock 19 and this is what happened. After about 3 months the Desantis Scorpion belt straps which are made of kydex broke. The following week a customer walked back in the door and told me they broke in his XD holster. We noticed that the Galco Kingtuk holsters all have metal clips and not one of them has broken. Desantis was nice enough to send us replacements but the replacements were all kydex. It’s time for a redesign.
