Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a good belt for concealed carry?

A good concealed carry belt needs to be rigid and supportive to prevent sagging and holster canting. CrossBreed's Executive Belt, for example, features a double-layer construction that provides the necessary stiffness without looking overly tactical, ensuring your firearm remains securely concealed.

How does White Rhino leather differ in CrossBreed holsters?

The Founder Series holsters from CrossBreed feature White Rhino leather, which is permeated with oils. This process makes the leather exceptionally soft and allows it to break in very quickly, conforming to the wearer's body for enhanced comfort and wearability.

What are the benefits of appendix carry?

Appendix carry is favored by some instructors for its accessibility and retention advantages during physical altercations. It allows for a more direct draw and potentially better control if engaged in a struggle, compared to rearward carry positions.

How can I speed up the break-in process for a new holster?

To break in a new holster quickly, wear it during physical activity like mowing the lawn. The heat and moisture will help the holster mold to your body. Afterward, lay the holster Kydex-down to dry in that shape for a perfect fit.

What are the advantages of the CrossBreed Purse Defender?

The Purse Defender is an L-shaped Kydex bracket that stabilizes the inside of a purse, keeping it open and providing a velcro panel for holster attachment. This system ensures your firearm is always accessible and securely held, preventing it from shifting or getting lost among other items.
