Foxx Holster Continuous Review

3 WEEK UPDATE:

thought I'd give the thread a nudge. I've owned the holster for three weeks now and I'm still a believer. Actually I feel naked when I can't use it (no gun zone at work FTL...). It continues to mold to my body extremely well and the backing is a non issue (even though the sanding cured that).

I wore it all day today with gym shorts....yes gym shorts. I, however, did have drawstring and once tightened, had zero issues with gun sliding or moving around as I mowed and trimmed grass, cut back briars and branches, deweeded flower beds and just piddling around doing yard work.

The gun stayed very secure. The only issue I had was sweat did get trapped between gun and leather backing. But I sweat like a beast so that's that.

I'll update again shortly. Any questions reply here so others can have same question answered.
 
As long as we are comparing holsters, I'd like to give my input to help others.

All people are not alike, and body shapes will have an effect on how a holster feels. A person's opinion of a holster is THEIR opinion and for every great review we will probably find a review that is the opposite.

It has been MY experience that the hybrid holsters are not as comfortable TO ME as my full leather Lobo holsters. Kydex is formed to be larger than the gun for fastening reasons, and it is stiff. It creates a larger footprint to conceal.

I have worn this type of holster for almost a year, until I got my first all leather custom Lobo holster. Since the day I strapped on a Lobo, I have worn nothing else. Leather molds to the person rather quickly, and is very comfortable.

I appreciate your love for your FoxX holster, but I wish I could give you a Lobo or a Milt Sparks to wear for a month. It would be interesting to see which you prefer.

My preference is the all leather custom holster. I have 5 kydex hybrid holsters sitting in my safe, never to be used again. ;)

so glad I found this thread. thinking about ordering a foxx holster after seeing that crossbreed is at least 8 weeks away after delivery.

nice to see that foxx holsters are comparable in quality to crossbreed holsters. though about getting a kholster but honestly its too much leather.

We all have our preferences. I seem to go back forth. I have plenty of Sparks (nice leather) and plenty of kydex and hybrids. Right now, it doesn't get more comfortable than my hybrids (new favorite White Dog Holsters). I respectfully disagree that hybrids are harder to conceal. I feel like they are much thinner/easier to conceal than my VMII. However, that's just IMHO.

One thing I don't like about my new FoxX is the 1.75" belt clips. I just assumed they were 1.5" (which has been typical of all my others). I need to switch them out for 1.5" now, since all of my belts are 1.5. This doesn't sound like a big deal, but it really is.
 
I have had a Foxx holster for a few months and I really like it for my XD40 and my home defense has been my M&P 9FS,but yesterday I just purchased a few more guns to add to my minuscule but growing collection.Now that I have a a Shield 9 and an M&P9c I am going to order a couple more holsters.I am going to try a new company a friend of mine told me about aliengear holster they are only 28.99 so I am going to try that for my Shield.My Foxx fits my 9c, but not the way I like so I will try it a few weeks to see if I change my mind and if not then I will order another holster for it as well.The few weeks will give me time to see how I like aliengear holster.
 
I've seen alien gear ones, the price is right but I don't think the quality is as good. They use rubber hosing for clip spacers. Also the leather and kydex is much thicker, thicker doesn't always mean better.

They do have an excellent price point though. Do a continuous review of it to help others make informed decisions
 
I will post when I get it and after I wear it awhile.I know the reason they use the rubber spacers,and it is because they offer the option to change the shell which is kind of a selling point to me.If I get it and like it then I am able to change shells without having to break in a holster,but time will tell how I like it after I get it and wear it for a while.Plus it allows to adjust retention with out having to heat up the kydex.

I have ordered belt clips from Crossbreed to replace the stock belt clips of other Kydex hybrid holster makers. Crossbreeed's clips are very secure.
 
UPDATE 10/4/13

Well I have owned the holster for a month and a half now and my opinion is still the same. This is without a doubt a super comfortable holster and I can wear it all day without it bothering me. It is broken in nicely and even the initial roughness of the leather is gone (of course my sanding cured some of that as well. Would I buy this again over, darn tootin.

Also just posted today, Foxx now offers a shade backing for an up charge of $12.50. It is adhered and stitched on. In reality, you really don't need it. Like I said, the initial rough texture goes away when you wear it and break it in.

Here is a pic of new shade backing from Foxx's FB post

trying to figure out which holster

After a lot of reading I've decided to get a foxx holster, great reviews and good price....... My question is how to decide if I get the hybrid or the little foxx. Any inputs and help would be appreciated.

thank you in advance
 
Well I like the stability of the hybrid. Two clips spaced out carry the weight of the pistol better imo
 
I sure am I get more happy with it everyday. it has really formed to my body
 
I have a FOXX for my Shield 40. I really like it. Even looks great with my shirt tucked in. Now if I could only conceal my belly as well as I do my 40.
 
Update,

Thought I'd update this again. Nothing has changed, still just as comfy and fits well. I was so impressed with the quality and service of Foxx Holsters I decided to buy one of his belts...

Guess what!? Love it was well. Super well made. Ordered Thursday and was at my house Monday (today). I ordered the standard belt. Awesome products guys. So you can keep ordering your overpriced Crossbreeds and what have you, but its hard to beat Foxx quality and service.

Thanks for the update. Its nice to get an unbiased opinion on a product. I am still on the fence about a kydex or leather holster, but these holster reviews really help
 
no problem!

After having for a day, decided that I ordered it too long, emailed Raymond (the owner)and told him, asked me to send it back and he will send me a new shorter one. Again, fantastic customer service
 
I've since ordered the Foxx Trapp Holster which is all kydex (his newest offering). It's really nice. Quick on and off and you can adjust the Cant. Very versatile. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37WGHKJ9cVE

I had the Foxx Hybrid but returned it because, that style of holster was difficult to take on and off multiple times during the day (not the right holster for that). If you get that holster I would recommend two things (1) get the kydex clips (not the metal ones) and (2) once you put it on, you should plan on keeping it on.

dixie_boysles... thx for the update on the belt. It might be my next purchase.
