So, I'm looking at picking up a new holster. I've been shooting for a while and I have a couple of guns, but the only pistol that I've trained with enough to feel confident carrying is a Ruger P89. This presents a problem, since carrying that thing is like trying to conceal a brick on your person. I have a relatively cheap leather IWB holster that I use for IDPA, but it's not much good for concealment, since the ride depth is a little high for my frame (to perfectly honest, it's not much good for IDPA either, but that's another story entirely). I like IWB carry, but turns out that not too many people make IWB holsters for the P89.

But as it happens, Crossbreed is one of the few manufacturers that does. I've heard almost nothing but good things about them, so I'm probably going to order a Supertuck in the relatively near future, in the hopes that the ride depth/cant adjustability puts the Ruger vaguely within the realm of possibility for carrying (at least until I get more comfortable with my 1911...). If nothing else, it will make IDPA easier. So here's the main question:

Is a horsehide holster worth the extra money?

I've heard a few people talk about horsehide's improved moisture resistance, which seems like it would be handy to counteract both the Houston humidity and my (probably-related) tendency to sweat fairly heavily. I'm not completely opposed to spending an extra $15 if this is indeed the case, but petty as it may seem, $15 is well beyond my threshold for spending on pointless bells/whistles.

Anyone have any relevant experience?
