Default Opinions on the CrossBreed Freedom Carry Holster?

In my ongoing search for some sort of IWB holster that I actually like for my Shield to ride in, I have come upon the CrossBreed Freedom Carry. They claim it is very comfortable and versatile. I have an Alien Gear CloakTuck 3 that is moderately comfortable and that I appreciate for the fact the clips are offset from the gun, thus keeping things as thin as possible. However, the whole package gets to be pretty wide. The Freedom Carry has only one clip, but it is offset toward he stern and fairly close to the holster pocket. This looks like a good solution, but I thought I'd ask around before dropping $65 on the thing.

Any thoughts would be welcome, personal experience doubly welcome.

Thanks!

I also like the idea of single off-set clips, but I haven't found one that stays stable on my belt. They all rotate around some depending on the level of activity. The only single clips that seem to work for me are the clips that are right on top of the holster, thus making a bigger section in the middle. Maybe a single AIWB clip wound't rotate as much as at 3:00? IDK?

Jim, I have tried Crossbreed and crossbreed style IWB. I can't stand them. Too big for the job they do, unless I'm concealing a 1911, I can't see why I need all that big a panel.
I'm also not concearned about "ease of reholstering" with a j frame,Bodyguard .380 or CZ75 Compact.
That said, some guys must like them, they do sell a lot, (but I wonder how many of them wind up in a holster drawer)

I have had a couple that I got from a family member. When the leather softens up a little they are unusable. I think they are uncomfortable and agree they are overly large.

Not me. I like the wide footprint. It distributes the weight well and flattens the package out. The more I use it the more comfortable it is. It certainly hasn't gotten worse for wear with me.
I can't speak for the Freedom model. Mines a mini tuck.
