Crossbreed Reckoning Holster Test & Review

[@christophernelson5914]

I’ve been a Crossbreed user for over 10 years, and I will say they make a great product. As for your question about the heat…it does get a little warm during the hot part of summer. Not so much so that I don’t want to use it. The leather will absorb a lot of sweat and transfer that to your firearm. They definitely stand behind their products too. I just sent back a 9 year old super tuck, that was cracking in the Kydex and they sent me a brand new replacement. If there is anything bad about that, is having to break in a new holster (which takes a few months of wearing every day!).

[@TiberiousGib]

Thanks for sharing 🙌

[@harvestblades]

I've been carrying my Super Tuck Deluxe with Combat Cut & standard leather backing for probably about five years now. Love it whether it is sub zero temps as the leather is warmer than kydex, or 100 degrees and extremely humid as the leather against the skin vs sweaty kydex is more comfortable to me. I carry at about 4 O'clock, but want to start carrying appendix for a few reasons, & am curious to know how this will be for my G19.

[@henrybomba6428]

Does the sweat come from the leather and to the gun and cause rusting?

[@matthewrobinson2766]

My experience has been almost the same. Carrying crossbreed every day for 11 years. They just sent me a brand new mini tuck because my 7 year old one developed a crack in the kydex. I can’t really compare it to anything because I have always carried crossbreed, but It doesn’t bother me, even in 100 degree weather. I truly forget it’s there against my skin because it’s broken is so well. I mostly use the horsehide but cowhide has been great too.

[@christophernelson5914]

@@henrybomba6428 depending on the firearm it could potentially cause rusting. I’ve taken mine out of the holster and there’s beads of moisture on it from the sweat. I wipe it down in the evening and let the holster air dry overnight. No rust problems.

[@markguitarcote]

I personally love the Reckoning holster for its comfort. It has great retention and covers the trigger guard. The con is, the holsters, I have 2 for a Glock 19 and 43, both cracked twice where the claw is attached. The company is great with their customer service and sent replacements within a week or so. But it happened twice and the claws broke twice as well. I just attached the new shell for my 19 on my already broken in backer. Yesterday I took my holster off and the new claw broke, again, and came out the bottom of my pants. I’ve had these holsters for 2 plus years now but with the cracking shell and breaking claw I am seriously looking at other holster options.

[@TiberiousGib]

[@IronTuskViking]

My favorite thing for striker feedback when re holstering is the striker control back plate. Holstering with your thumb on the back of the slide. If the trigger starts to get pulled for any reason it will push against your thumb either stopping it or giving you a chance to stop it.

Go Black Arch. Watch Active Self Protection's vid on holsters before you make a decision, great useful information and lessons. I have this exact same holster for my Sig 365 and was heavily disappointed in it's functionality. Kydex only surrounds one side of trigger guard and no audible click of retention when gun is put into holster. Black Arch so far has been the only hybrid holsters I've encountered that have kydex fully surrounding trigger guard and has audible retention click when gun is locked into place.

[@Woot30]

Are these holsters safe for EDC? I’ve heard a lot of mixed things about “hybrid” holsters and Saftey

[@TiberiousGib]

They are safe, the material is thick enough so it won’t fold over into the trigger guard as you re-holster

[@ldope3904]

If you watch Active Self Protection, these do not pass the holster test as the kydex does not fully surround the trigger guard and has no audible retention click when gun is inserted. I have this exact holster for my Sig and a different model one for my CZ75, and they're ok for the range since they do look cool due to their customization options, but I wouldn't recommend for EDC personally. Black Arch has been the only viable hybrid holster I've seen, but I have some Vedder ones coming soon so we'll see how those do in comparison

[@davidhunt4129]

If you're going somewhere in the world with no electricity or lighting at night time, get a light. I have lights on a few firearms around the house only because sometimes in bad storms, electricity goes out. But for everyday going to a grocery store or family trips, I don't see how a light is practical or useful. It's what all the cool kids are doing, but it's just added weight. Nightfire training in a pitch black field somewhere may be a good reason to have a light, but honestly how often do you plan on doing that? If you like it, go for it, but it's not really a practical thing to do

[@TiberiousGib]

I suggest you always have at least one light on you, Either or handheld or a weapon mounted light....preferably both ha. Regardless if you are going somewhere without electricity. You could stay out later than expected, you could be in a room without windows, etc.

One thing I'm sad about with the cross breeds is the leather being so thin, I heard the older models had thicker leather.. My super tuck I can push the leather into the kydex . I probably would have held off on this reckoning and went with hidden hybrid because I heard there leather is higher quality if i'd just done the push test before order this 3 weeks ago.

[@ivannunez8795]

Hi there! I recently got a shield plus, I’m new with conceal carry and I wanted a product that won’t print as much as I have a small frame body, standing at 5.5, do you think this will work or should I go with a full kydex holster?

[@TiberiousGib]

Either one will work, I think having a prepped belt and clothing that isn’t to tight is more important than the specific holster

[@chrisporter7534]

Small frame you will need a smaller pistol like a bodyguard 380, LCP MAX, LCP II .22 LR, S&W 380 EZ. The shield plus is just too big a gun to conceal and be comfortable sitting or driving. A pocket gun or purse gun maybe a fit for you. I recommend using federal punch or HST defense ammo! Military types only carry 9mm or larger caliber ammo. Newbies need to built confidence and experience with 22, or .380 first. Important to practice dry firing and drawing the pistol from concealment.

[@cycleworld6774]

check out n8 tactical! I'm 5'6 and used to carry a shield 9mm until i upgraded to the m&p 9 pro, and n8 tacticals "professional" holster was the most comfortable IWB I tried with that gun and the most discreet. I also recommend getting one of crossbreed's gun belt, it is so much better than any of the other leather gun belts ive tried.

Was excited for these holsters but they're hot garabge honestly.

Cannot recommend these at all, especially for the price. If you're spending this type of $, do yourself a favor and get Black Arch Holsters. They only have 2 different holsters for a reason... they work perfect; don't need to fix or redesign what's not broken.

[@bertito43]

[@ldope3904]

@@bertito43 Black Arch has the kydex FULLY surrounded on the trigger guard on their Hybrid holsters; Crossbreed does not. Black Arch was the very first holster I bought around 2017-2018 so I guess I was spoiled and thought every hybrid holster was manufactured as such. I was heavily disappointed when my Black Friday order from Crossbreed arrived and noticed the kydex didn't fully surround the trigger guard for my Sig365 or CZ75 SP 01 holsters. Even more disappointed when I realized their holsters don't even provide a click when the gun is fully locked in the holster...Disappointment all around but at least they look cool. They're ok for the range but I don't feel comfortable using for concealment. Recently ordered some Vedder holsters and still waiting on those, hopefully their hybrid holsters don't suffer from the same manufacturing faults. If they do, Black Arch will be the only holsters I ever buy. They're pricey (which is why I was looking at other brands) and lack the customization options that I found on Crossbreed and Vedder, but Black Arch's quality is phenomenal. That's what I get trying to save a few bucks. Now I know why many ppl have boxes of unused holsters lol.
