My experience so far, is better holster fit for the gun with the Crossbreed vs. the MTAC. I ordered the Crossbreed without the combat cut so I could make the cut the way I wanted. Another modification to the Crossbreed was to shorten the bottom skirt so it did not interfer with my wallet on my strong side back pocket. I wear my rig at 4:30 and the barrel of my gun stops just above my wallet pocket. The kydex holster on the MTAC extends about 1 1/4" below my gun barrel. If I keep the MTAC I will need to shorten the kydex so it will not interfer with my wallet. I have had no problems with the rivets on the Crossbreed and don't see how they could damage a shirt. I thought the damage to the shirt was caused by the spring steel clips which hold the rig in place. My solution, was to order the J hooks which are made of a composite material. In addition the J hooks are less noticable. We all have different body types, therefore what works for one may not work for another. However, it's a lot of fun to shop and compare. Enjoy!
The J hooks are 5.00 additional and Crossbreed gives a 10% discount to NRA members.

Re: Minotaur vs. Crossbreed
I also received my MTAC yesterday. I now have both the MTAC and the Crossbreed. The MTAC leather is more appealing than the Crossbreed, and I was able to adjust the depth of the holster so I get a better grip during the draw while the gun rides at the depth I prefer.
The kydex of the Crossbreed fits my gun much better, which will probably result in less finish wear on the pistol. I have also modified the cut and design of the leather on the Crossbreed to better fit my needs. Because of the stitched design of the MTAC you cannot modify the cut of the leather. (Not that I think it needs it.)
Both are quality products and comfortable to wear. You can't go wrong with either. Although the Crossbreed has a lifetime warranty, I can't envision either failing through normal use. The exception to failure could be the kydex shell. I intend to contact Comp Tac about a better fit for the kydex. If I can obtain a better fit, I think I would prefer the MTAC.
