Re: Super Tuck adjust 101...

Its still breaking in - but its comfortable. Kind of strange in that for the 1st minutes of wear it is not, then the longer you wear it it is. The holster is still breaking in no doubt. Not sure how to speed that process up. Now that i have settled on a position for concealment - it should help the break-in. I was screwing around with it to much - ah, those wonderful adjustment holes!

Super Tuck adjust 101...

Received a Crossbreed Supertuck that adjusts. Well thats good and Bad. Good that the thing is "comfortable" Bad that you have to play for a while. I guess thats half the fun right? Here is what i learned in trying to blend comfort and concealment after standing in front of the mirror and staring for top of the slide "corner" or the gun handle print. Either one is a problem in concealment.

Here is what i learned after "trying all holes" all the time:
[*] 4 holes and the higher up on the holes the lower it is buried in your pants - default from crossbreed is 2nd from bottom.
[*] Can't angle adjusted "forward" - is adjusted with right side of the holster holes being moved up , and or left side of holster being moved down.
[*] If the top of the kydex is below your pants the gun is hard to draw and replace (thanks captain obvious). But great concealment - but what good is concealment if you got to dig it out of your pants.
[*] When i had a large can't adjust 4 holes right side, and at bottom holes on the left - the slide corner when at the 4:00 position stuck out of shirts.
[*] I saw a website that helped me adjust the can't angle. Take your index finger make a gun like we did when we were kids. Point it down along your side, straight down. Move your finger gun from 3:00 to 5:00 (a bit harder to do beyond that) and that is your natural "can't angle" for ease of drawing.
[*] The perfect height seems to be pant or belt edge at the top of the kydex. Thats about as far as you want to bury the Kydex into pants for drawing weapon.
[*] If the height is adjusted to top of pants, then the cant makes a big difference with the print outline of the gun. I have a glock 23 which has a slide that is square edged and not a small gun. The more can't adjusted forward the more the print unless you move it back to the 5:00 or so position. That is where a big can't needs to be. See finger gun example.
[*] The Crossbreed default can't seems to be at the 4:30 or 5:00 position with 2 holes up from the bottom.

So what was my default best position for concealment after trying on a bunch of "T" shirts with shorts? What it came out of the box with, 2 holes up from the bottom on both sides at 4:30 to 5:00 position. I must be the standard type of guy 5'10', 180 lbs.

I had a blast trying to figure out this. Great holster for a Glock 23 Gen4.
