I have one for my M&P 9c. I like mine. It's comfortable with alot of adjusting room for height and cant angle and retention. It is comfortable and conceals well. I would buy another.

My only complaints are the long belt clips hang up when your trying to put it on and the other is the retention design, it just squeezes the gun between the leather and kydex. Their really isn't anything to give a positive lock or audible click when it's in. Most Kydex type holsters lock around the trigger guard,these do not,they just squeeze the gun. It does have adjustable retention and will be tight though.

Looking at photo 3 of 4 in the link below appears that they may have slightly redesigned the trigger guard retention bump since i bought mine. Theirs a video on the right.

Thank you for the thorough review. This will be my first real IWB. I used a cheap uncle mikes and it was not at all comfortable but those look comfortable. I have a OWB desantis for my mk's and it works fairly well with baggy shirt (up high and tight) but I wanted something a little more concealed.

I own an MTAC that I have been using for my Kimber Royal II which is a 2.11Lbs full sized 1911. I find it to be very comfortable and concealable. The colors the hooks come in are a bit limited (the dark brown really aren't that dark and stand out a bit on a real dark brown belt). I just ordered a new Kydex shell for my P45 and am waiting for that to come in. It was only $38, so it saved me having to buy a whole new holster. I chose the MTAC over the Crossbreed because it just looks a bit more refined and is a fair amount more refined, and customizable ex. cant, additional guns, height the gun sits on the belt. I did trim off one of the clips as I was carrying a big gun and the cant was pretty extreme, so the clip was hanging down pretty low and making it appear I had an erection on my hip:eek:

Overall I would recommend it.

I forgot to mention that the retention on the holster is good too, I have done a fair amount of jogging with it on to try and beat the streetlights (right in front of the DA's office with officers all around) and have never felt uncomfortable with printing or the gun being unsecure.) It does loosten up after time, but you just go and tighten the screws and you are all good.
