BTW I have three crossbreeds, so I'm not bashing them.

Oh yeah, there was candy!

If no one is watching, can we say, "lawyers"?

There is discussion in August 2007 about the introduction of the MTAC.

Based on this unscientific tidbit, it would appear that Tucker is the original.

Except that you were correct in your first post: Comp-Tac provided the Kydex for Tucker's "Answer."

No Kydex holster, no hybrid.

Yessir!

A little treat in the package was a Comp-Tac original.

IMHO, Crossbreed is a knock-off. Not that I don't think their stuff is well-made, it's just that I pledged my consumer dollars to Comp-Tac many years ago, and Gregg and company have never disappointed. I must have a dozen holsters, even more mag carriers, some belts, and even shotshell holders and other paraphernalia from Comp-Tac.

Comp-Tac products are used by more competitive shooters than any other brand; the customer service is exemplary; it's a Texas company; and the top management are also tops on the range. Yep, they're first-class shooters and instructors.

Sorry to chime in on a Crossbreed post, but I feel the original deserve counterpoint.
