Revolver Caught In Supertuck Holster

[ssei03]

Hi everyone,

I'm a fairly new member to this forum. I've been reading a lot of the posts and have learned a lot.

I recently bought a Crossbreed Supertuck holster for my S&W 642 snub nose revolver after reading the reviews on this and other forums.

I've carried the gun a couple of times while in public with no problems. The other day though, after wearing it for a few hours, I came home and tried to take the gun out of the holster before taking the holster off, and the gun wouldn't come out of the holster!!

After tugging on it a little bit, I gave up and removed the holster and gun together. After looking at it, I found that the revolver had pushed into the holster far enough that the edge of the cylinder had gotten caught under a very small lip on the edge of the Kydex which was preventing the gun from releasing. NOT GOOD!!

I guess I'll be taking a small, fine round file to that lip on the Kydex to get rid of it. Anyone else ever come across this problem?

This. If for no other reason then that they can improve their design. You may save someone's life.

It sounds as though the leather part of the holdster is beginning to conform to you and the gun. It may take a bit of tweaking to get it to fit properly. You can heat up the kydex with a heat gun and loosen or tighten areas of the Kydex which need adjusting. I would recommend this, rather than taking a file to it, as you'll just make the Kydex thinner and more prone to cracking. Also, realize that it takes a while for the leather and gun to settle together, as well as conform to your paticular shape. I would recommend wearing it as much as possible for several weeks before making your adjustments.

I contacted Crossbreed and they've sent me a new holster to replace the one that my revolver got caught in. I will be sending my original holster back to them.

Super customer service from Crossbreed!

I was not degrading Crossbreed holsters or disrespecting the company when I sent my original post!! I was just letting others know what had happened to me and was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience.

My new holster is here and I publicly thank Crossbreed and let everyone know that their customer service is super.
