Does anyone know of another company that uses horse hide in their holster making?

Yep, many of them offer horse hide models. Best one IMO is http://www.crossbreedhosters.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

My Comfort Carry by Rob Durham has 2 layers
Horsehide next to skin, and leather next to gun

It is so stiff, took so long to break in ... that I think he now uses 2 layers of leather instead

I don't think he makes the one I have any more, but it is most like the Comfort Carry Bodyguard (which may be the same)

Wow thanks for all the help fellas i really appreciate it, the one thing i really like about the crossbreed is the fact that it covers the beavertail on a 1911 which is what i carry, and it keeps the beaver tail from digging into ones side. but crossbreed is the only maker i have seen to offer that style of holster, all the others look to be combat cut.

You should really look into White Hat holsters. I have the Max Tuck from them, its just like crossbreed's supertuck but if you have multiple guns you want to carry you just have to order another kydex (not another complete holster) and interchange the kydex on your cow or horse hide backing. I love my max tuck. I was torn between the two companies, but the interchangeable kydex and slightly lower price sold me on White Hat. Check them out!

Oh and did I mention that White Hat is a Texas based company? Well yes, they are. :txflag:

+1 recommendation for White Hat. If you want something that they don't show on their web page, go ahead and call them - they're more than likely able to accomodate you. I needed a holster for my PPS with a Viridian C5L laser and they put one together for me, with horsehide, on a special order, two day turnaround (they're local to me, so I just drove over there and let them use my laser for constructing the kydex portion of the holster, then drove over and picked it up), and didn't charge anything extra for the super service. Definitely good guys!

Thanks guys y'all rock! my dad got a Gen 4 G19 yesterday and he has a Gould and Goodrich IWB Gold line holster with snaps in chestnut leather, but even I'm having a hard time concealing it without some of the grip coming through and I also feel like it rides a little high,and falls forward a little, would a proper gun belt fix/help the probelm? I carry a 1911 in a cheap little size 6 blackhawk microfiber holster and you cant even tell I'm wearing it, but the beavertail safty digs into my side thats the reason I want a crossbreed or something equal to it, so I will for sure check out Tommy theis.

The Tommy Theis holsters look almost identical to crossbreed holsters, I may go ahead and order from him, i looked at his FAQ's but couldnt find a ETA maybe i over looked it but I really like his holsters and their look.

Don't know - never seen a Crossbreed up close and in real life. But, I can compare to my Comp-Tac MTAC. MTAC has a leather backing that prevents the back end of the T-nuts from touching skin, and White Hat does not. The White Hat T-nuts are smaller profile than the MTAC ones, so it's not like they're poking you in the ribs. For the extra money the MTAC costs, I don't miss the backing - and the White Hat is my usual EDC holster.
