Based on Selurcspi's recommendation I got one for my P7. Very comfy even with my girth. I have a couple of questions.
First, how can I adjust the cant> The receiving thing-a-ma-jig for the front clip seems pressed into the leather. Is there a trick to removing it without tearing up the leather before moving it to the next hole up?
Second, is there a trick to tucking in your shirt? Part of my problem are my handles. Just wondering if anybody has a system?
Thanks.

Gun handles? Love handles?

Uhm...gun handles are called grips
I'm talking about the over abundance of fat that sticks out on each side of my waist.

the cant can be adjusted by either loosening and tilting the clips, or in comination with adjusting the holes they ride in. the screw retainers have prongs on the back to bite the leather. you can lift them out gently by using a small screw driver, or even your finger nail. you wont hurt the holster. when you relocate the retainer to a new hole, make sure you tighten the screw enough to drive the prongs back in. it's pretty easy, just dive in.
as far as tucking in your shirt goes, i use the following procedure:
-get dressed and get holster mounted securely, button up pants and belt like you are ready to go out without tucking in your shirt.
-unbuckle belt and unbutton pants to give yourself just enough room to tuck in shirt.
-tuck shirt inbetween clips and holster and around the kydex.
-button and buckle back up.
it sounds like a pain, but once you've done it once, you'll quickly get the routine down. and the finished product is well worth the extra minute or two if you need to wonder around tucked in.

How is the retention of the gun? I mean, as far as running around in the yard kicking the ball around with the boy? Am I going to have to worry about what activities I do while wearing this holster? I have been searching and searching for a good IWB holster and after narrowing down my choices, I think I am going to go with the Crossbreed. It just looks to be the best of all worlds. My only concern now is how well the gun stay in the holster. I have two small boys and we tend to be very active. I don't like the thought of goofing around and having my gun go sliding across the ground. However, I am not too crazy about the thought of a thumb-break either. Just wondering what I can expect when I get one.

i have, while wearing this holster, done everything from log walks (across water) to a variety of yard gymastics and running around playin' sports. the firearms isn't going anywhere. if you are in the south metro or near there, you are always welcome to stop by and try one on for yourself.

I've worn my crossbreed for about two weeks now. LOVE IT!! It took about 2-3 days to "form" to my body, but now I barely ever know its there. It's pretty comfortable. I'd recommend one. I carry an XD 40.

Because of all of the positive reviews and a few recommendations, I ordered one for a 1911 frame. I have not yet worn it in public, maybe I am just too happy and set in my current carry holsters, but I do have it in my holster display for my classes.
I guess I just have to put it on and go to really test it out.

I'm with you Cobb; I had to order one for my Glock 23. If it's everything they say it is it should be the last holster I buy for that gun. Then all I have to do is pick one up for my XD's.

For those who have a crossbreed, which type of leather do you suggest ordering it with? Is the combat grip worth the cost? Also do you recommend getting the additional j-hooks?
