Fullsize 1911 Holster Question

I have a Galco combat master for my full sized 1911. I've found as I've been able to wear it while driving (6 hr drives) and really forget that I have it on. It is my primary OC & CC rig. When camping or hiking I use a Blackhawk Serpa.

I carry my full size 1911's in a Milt Sparks VM II and oftenforgetthat it is not a part of me. It is the most comfortable holster in production, but it is a little pricey. http://www.miltsparks.com/

+ 1 on the Sparks VM II. Worth the 6 month wait and $100 pricetag for me. I'm a certified fat guy and it is very very comfortable. I sit at a desk most of the day and drive quite a bit too.

I generally carry my fullsize 1911 in a Blackhawk serpa CQC. Its pretty much become my staple holster and I currently own one for all the guns I carry with any kind of regularity.

I have a great Galco IWB it is called the summer comfort. it does have reinforcement at the mouth for easy reholstering.

I prefer my Croosbreed supertuck though as it seems to allow more circulation around the gun and prevents some of the moisture buildup from being against my body.

YMMV

I have a Crossbreed Supertuck Deluxe for my Kimber Compact 1911, and another for my fullsize XD Tactical in .45. I don't think you could get a better holster for the money. I think they are 65.50 not including accessories of course. The Answer at Tucker gunleather is the same idea, as is the Minotar IWB. For outside the waist band I like the Carrylock but I always carry mine concealed. Part of the reason for that is my Crossbreed is so damn comfortable. I just got the belt with the velco clips and you wouldn't know that I'm carrying unless I told you.

There is another choice for the crossbreed STYLE of holster.

A little cheaper but I have not seen one in person and cannot verify their quality. I do know that around Christmas time they had a sale, all of their tuckable type holsters were $30.

I've been looking at tuckable holsters since most of the time my shirts are tucked in. I've been looking at the CrossBreed Super Tuck and the Galco Skyops for my full size 1911. Anyone have any input on the Galco? I see CrossBreed is kydex and Galco is leather. Any preference over leather or kydex, does kydex wear on your firearm?

Thanks. Peacemaker .45

Peacmaker, I have a Galco Summer Comfort leather. It has a metal reinforcement around the mouth to ease reholstering. It works very well and is WAY comfortable. However my body chemistry seems to cause moisture to gather around the "inboard" side of the gun's slide and cause a little rusting. My crossbreed allows for just enough circulation to keep moisture away and no rust.

Bein' a long time carrier... I don't fool with IWB/OWB, 'Virginia tuck' nonsense or any of that shizzle. I wear a gunbelt!
