Hybrid IWB Holsters

A look at many of the new Hybrid IWB holsters that provide "big leather" and sufficient separation with the belt clips to give incredible comfort. As you can see in various videos over the last year or so, these are my "go-to" holsters most of the time.

    Holsters are a bit like engine oil or gun oil: everybody's holster is the best! :-) A representative sampling of quality holsters was my main objective here. Doubt that my mission will be to try to obtain every holster out there, although I might do a follow-up at some point if I end up with several good ones not shown in this video.

    For years while I was a police officer and later for civilian concealed carry, I used the traditional IWB holster. They always were a bit uncomfortable (especially with a revolver) and always got sweat soaked. After watching your video I got a King Tuck from Galco. What a difference. Its great.. keep the videos coming.

    One other difference between the various hybrids that some appreciate is whether or not the hardware is covered or exposed on the body side. The "princess and the pea" types can find exposed rivets uncomfortable during extended wear. The Minotaur MTAC, for example, has smooth leather stitched over the hardware that makes it more comfortable for some.

    Hidden Hybrid is the obvious choice here, there's to many on the bench... Hickok seems like completely down to earth and in any comparison I've seen of his he has never said one thing bad about a brand/make/model... I just bought the Hybrid Holster and got 10% off, GREAT deal, no shipment gouging either.. I feel for the money you can't beat a universal holster like that.. Even if I have to buy another (which I will) for only $52 it simply can't be beat !!!! Thanks Hickok I owe you lunch :-) take care

    Crossbreed holsters started it, and quality wise they are still one of; if not the best in that area. I will say that my new love is a StealthGear USA, Onyx holster. Reasons: 1) Breathable. I can't stress this enough. In Georgia the humidity during the summer drove me to pocket carry as the leather backing on most hybrid holsters was disgusting, and uncomfortable at the end of the day. 2) Stealthgear really thought out their design. So much so; that I think crossbreed is going to have to change things up a little to keep market share. -Minimized the kydex...there is not excess kydex which does change where you belt contacts, and how that belt shapes to the holster. -Minimized the backer material size. There is no backing where you don't need it. -It still distributes the weight the way the crossbreeds, and galco king tucks etc. do. -The kydex on the stealth gear is tacked with philips screws like hickock just showed on this video. So ease of maintenance; and DIY kydex replacement is possible. -My guns' finishes have been effected by the soggyness of the leather sheet backings on most of these. Stealthgear protects the gun with 3 layers where the gun print is on the Onyx...the rest of the holster has see-through air passage holes. -BREATHABILITY; again " The air floweth within thine Onyx." Book of CCW -Chapter 4: Verse 2

    Professor Hickok, I have a revisit video idea: these hybrid style IWB holsters. It seems to me you are wearing OWB holsters most of the time in videos now. Or a holster video in general. It’s been a while. I feel like the one clip kydex IWB holsters have become more popular because of ease of getting them on and off (like getting into and out of a car) even though they don’t spread the pressure like these hybrids. I guess it might depend on whether one is going to carry for a quick trip to the grocery store or carry all day while not getting in and out of a car.

    Hey hickok45 - Been an avid watcher of your videos and enjoy all of them. I don't make many comments on youtube (if any), but I thought I'd let you know that Tucker Gun Leather was most likely the originator of this hybrid design. They call it "The Answer" because it was 'the answer' to the best of both worlds of holsters. I bought two - I believe in 2003 or 2004. At the time (from what I remember) they partnered with Comp-Tac for the polymer parts and Tucker made the leather part. (Comp-Tac only had the CTAC at the time then came out with their version of "The Answer" (MTAC I believe) a few years later.) Tucker's are extremely high quality. Really not comparable to Crossbreed. Crossbreed appeared to copy Tucker's design, and made it cheaper ($75 CB vs $125 TGL at the time if I remember right). As per Crossbreed's own website, they didn't come into business until 2005. I just thought I would let you know since you wanted to "give credit where credit is due" as you said. Tucker Gun Leather deserves a lot more credit than they get. They're expensive, but they are worth it; Especially at the time, when they were the ONLY ones with this design. -- FYI: I still wear the two Tucker holsters I bought 12-13 years ago several times a week. I have worn them for 16+ hours on several different occasions with extreme comfort. (No offense to Mark at Crossbreed. He was a nice guy. I just believe his ideas weren't 100% his own as his website may say.)

    Awesome review on hybrid holsters. I swore by full kydek holster, because of the complete trigger coverage and adjustable retention. I have revisited hybrid holsters and now find myself wearing these types of holsters more now due to comfort and the balance of weight that is provided to the gun when being worn in the waistband. Thanks for sharing all this great knowledge and sharing your experiences.

I was told by their customer support that they are currently developing a standalone mag pouch. For the price, quality and customer support I'll recommend Hidden Hybrid and I'll be buying more.

    I gauge it by the reinforcement of the leather. most of these hybrid holster that I see is a single layer slab of leather with a kydex shell bolted onto it. To me I don't see a whole lot of ingenuity or thought put into it. It's too elementary. Reason why I look high upon MTAC and HHH is because of the reinforcement of the leather backing of both products. I agree that the other kind of hybrid holster works, but the lack of thought put into them makes me look down on it. I'm sure they all work for their intended purposes though...

    Thanks for yet another great overview. So, naturally, I just bought a kydex-only IWB, now I'm thinking the hybrids are the way to go. And, as you say, hard to find in a store; pretty much have to order online. Especially with an oddball gun; easier if you've got a Glock 19 or SS P365. My local gunstore told me they don't carry holsters period; they'd just have to carry tons of inventory for minescule sales. I get that. I checked out Cabela's, which DOES carry holsters, but its a long aisle, both sides, and I couldn't find a model for my piece and the sales folks couldn't help me. They just said, "Aisle X, if it's not there, we don't carry it." Great.

    Yeah, they really don't quite fit the genre with two spread-out clips and such. The main reason I included it was the large pad, which cushions the gun really well. I don't know that the weight is spread out as with the others, but people can decide that for themselves. I've not worn it enough to be sure about that.

    The Kydex is molded for specific guns, so you need either a different shell / scabbard or a whole different holster for different guns, at least with most of these I've seen. I don't care as much for one-size fits-all holsters when it comes to Kydex. Neither am I likely to switch out the scabbards to go from gun to gun. The biggest advantage in that feature, I think, is for when you sell off the gun and don't need it. Easy to convert the holster.

    I have alien gear, Sheppard leather holster and a MIC holster used with clipdraw for pick up and go. Can't use the clipdraw with kydex holsters together so I use that when I know I'll have a period of time I just need a get up and go option or when I prefer deep concealment because I'm a little guy and I don't worry about printing to much but use it for an extra effort. People like the clipdraw but are scared to use it because Trigger is exposed, get the Mic holster too! Or any trigger guard holster works. Alien gear is my go to. Kydex is thick and durable and not blocky like some of the others preventing less bulge. Sheppard is also great. I had a Foxx holster and it was comfortable but the screws always came loose even after a couple hours. Yes I know the tricks to prevent it but why when I can use my alien gear and avoid all that. Or my Sheppard is always tight. Everyone has their own preferences. And which ever hybrid you choose they all conceal great, just find your do's and dont's with each and you'll be satisfied.

    As a guy with a muffintop, I want one of those hybrid IWB style holsters with a backer that completely insulates the wearer from both the slide and the grip. I don't want the gun to dig into me at all. And I don't want to grab skin or undershirt when I reach for my weapon. The 3Speed Holster belly band is probably the best I've found so far. Glock full size.

    I have a Crossbreed Supertuck for my Full Size FNX-9, and you will be surprised at how big a gun you can carry comfortably in these holsters. Waiting on a Tommy Theis holster for my M&P Shield, and I have no doubt that it will be the same thing with that one, with the added benefit of a thinner gun. Anyone on the fence about trying this style of holster - try it out. They may not be nice to look at, but they are very comfortable and easy to use.

    Tucker Gun Leather pioneered the hybrid holster, I believe. I think that Comp-tac followed them, then Crossbreed, and now we have several manufacturers as is obvious after watching this video. I've looked at many different hybrids, and the Tucker still gets my money; I own one for each of my two primary carry guns. Fantastic customer service as well!

    I'm a big fan of N82 holsters, very comfortable. The backing is pretty good for when you sweat. It's nice not feeling the gun against your body as well. The backing also helps to keep it from moving around.

    White Hat Max Tuck's in horsehide are fantastic. As you mentioned, I think it is the most concealable IWB holster. Crossbreed and others have hooks that go over the belt and says "FIREARM" to a watchful eye. WH has options for a Velcro backing of your belt and hooks, instead of J-hooks. Not to mention they do custom designs. I sent them my design and they printed it on the Kydex, looks just awesome. Very modular system, and when I compared them to other brands, WH had the complete package.

    Crossbreed guy here too. People talk about having a drawer full of holsters. I've seen ads and heard about crossbreed for so many years so I did a little research into them and some other companies and found nothing but good things about crossbreed. I ordered one and it is my first and last holster... atleast until I buy another carry gun ;)

    just got old faithful holster and belt for under 100$ to the door. 5 minutes to screw together and perfect the fit/draw pressure with belt on...disappeared under dress shirt golf style and feels like nothing there after 15 minutes. couldn't be happier, and i like that the kydex,isn't riveted, you can change screw length and spacer for looser ir tighter fit etc. like the crossbreed, but after years of wear the riveted area became looser than i prefer and no adjustement easily..

    Old Faithful Holster sells hybrid holsters as a kit with three different options. You assemble all of them but you can get the kydex molded or you can do it yourself. The special they are running will net you a finished parts kit for half the price of a Crossbreed. They also have color options for the shell if you are so inclined. Non-riveted design so you can maintain the holsters. Check them out, top quality materials, probably the thickest kydex out there and comfy too. I love mine.

    Hickok and fans, I recently got a hybrid holster from "Old Faithful" for my Glock 27. They send all the parts with the molded kydex for any specific gun. Then I assembled it in about 20 minutes. It feels comfortable, is made from high quality materials and cost less than many of the other hybrid holsters. They shipped it in a timely manner too.

    Not at all. I have a barn full of stuff that will never end up in a video. Guns, holsters, & ammo are three staples of shooting, and I look forward to showing them. Now, I DO get some quirky holsters, or holsters that are nothing special that just don't ever make it to videos. This type of holster is quite a phenomenon the way it's taken over the IWB market. I love them and use them and wanted to show as many as possible.

    New cool toy idea! The electronic gong,( for paper or cardboard targets). Clip a small motion relay sensor to the target and when the bullet hits the paper the signal is picked up by a receiver on or next to the shooter and the gong sound is produced. Like shoot and see targets only audio. Even a cellphone app would be cool. Love that gong ringing like so many others.

    I bought a crossbreed holster about eight years ago for a para ordinance LTC. I also had a para ordinance P 12 that fit just fine. Then I bought a Ruger SR 911 that’s fine then recently I bought a Springfield Armory operator TRP 10 mm with the Picatinny rail. And that fits best of all in my crossbreed holster Also I find a crossbreed holster incredibly comfortable
