Many times, the price difference between many of these Hybrid holster makers is due to the quality of the material. This could be due to:
- The type of leather (cow vs horse),
- The thickness of the leather (sometimes hearing 'it took no time to shape to my body' as 'the leather isn't as thick'),
- The thickness (or quality) of the Kydex (it should take YEARS for the Kydex to crack... Even if reshaped several times)
Sounds like maxheadroom's holster was mad with thinner/inferior Kydex.
If the Kydex cracked after only a few Months... I'd be annoyed too.
As another example: While the Kydex on my cheap Kholster 'Little Moon' is as thick as my CBST, the leather of my CBST Stays shaped to my body when taken off, where the leather of my 'Little Moon' is pliable and flattens out.
Kholster seemed to use a 'cheaper cut' of leather... But since it's comfortable to wear, that difference in material doesn't matter to me.
Sometimes one needs to ask themselves WHY is [Fill-In-The-Blank] company's product so much less than 'that other company's'... and when buying online, many times you don't find out until after you've bought it.
I've always been happy with CrossBreed's holsters... And I don't even 'order' them fresh made for me. I buy them pre-made from their Factory Seconds site (for almost half price), so there's no waiting.
