What are your opinions on this holster for cc ?

I have one in horsehide that I've been using to CC a G19 for about 3 years. It's ridiculously comfortable.

Gots one. Love it. People (at competition's) dont even know I have it on until the buzzer goes off.

Do you all like the horse hide ?

Great holsters, I have several. The horse hide option is well worth the extra cost. The cow hide is OK but needs to be broken in.
Crossbreed customer service is outstanding. I have broke the Kydex a couple times (abuse) and sent the holster in for repair. Each time Crossbreed sent a complete new holster, no charge.
Don't waste your money on cheaper copycat brands, like I have

I do like the horsehide, but I also admit that I don't have a cowhide version with which to compare. I'm kind of a fat boy, so I figured the extra sweat protection was worth it. I also have a clone by Theis holsters, also in horsehide, and it's also very nice. I bought my Theis for a different gun before I bought my CBST and probably would have just gotten another Theis for my G19 if I hadn't spotted my (used) CBST in the classifieds here.

I T&E'd one for my plain clothes carry years ago. Not sure if it was horse or cow hide. What I did observe is that the holster would wick moisture rather quickly and easily, and transfer it straight to your pistol. One day of outdoor use and sweating rusted the slide of my P245 badly, no pitting but I couldn't remove all of the rust without some finish wear. One day, and I am religious about keeping my guns oiled up for corrosion prevention.

Otherwise the holster was quite comfortable, and to be fair I would have been better suited with an OWB holster for the above referenced day of use as I know I lost 7 or 8 pounds from seating. The moral is, the one I used would wick moisture very easily and we now use remora holsters.
