I've been a OWB carrier for a while now but having noticed certain advantages to IWB carry I thought it was time to revisit the issue and see where things stood.

First I went out and bought a very cheap, clip on, IWB holster just to test basic proof of concept and was surprised to find that even the cheap holster was reasonably comfortable and gave me a fairly "confident" carry platform. It also highlighted the items (such as padding over my hip bone and a strong forward cant) that I feel would make a good IWB holster for me.

So, armed with that test knowledge I began searching the web to see what holsters might "fit the bill" and finally came down to a couple of Galco designs, and the Crossbreed "Supertuck".

Reviews seemed good for the Crossbreed (including this review on TFL) but all of the reviews I found were 2-3 years old.

So how about NOW, can anyone currently useing a Crossbreed holster tell me how they are holding up and how you like them?
