A few weeks ago, Crossbreed Holsters released a new version of their modular bellyband holster<\/a>, so I decided to give it a try. I also decided to give another part of their modular system, the Purse Board<\/a>, a try as well. It\u2019s a well thought-out system, but like most concealed carry options, it\u2019s not going to be useful for every person in every situation.<\/p>\n

I purchased these items myself, so you\u2019ll get a very honest review here that\u2019s not influenced by getting anything for free to review.<\/p>\n

Crossbreed\u2019s Modular System<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I first used a Crossbreed product way back in 2009. I found that, at least with pants and a loose-fitting or fit-and-flare shirt, the hybrid holster<\/a> worked well even for a full-sized 1911. Since then, the cooler kids of the concealed carry world has moved on to hating hybrid holsters, largely because they\u2019ve caused problems as they aged and wore out. At worst, a cracked shell or sweat-logged leather backer could even cause a nasty negligent discharge.<\/p>\n

Belly bands have their own safety problems. Chief among them is the lack of a hard shell over the trigger guard area.<\/p>\n

Crossbreed came up with a creative way to solve these problems: combine elements from both systems to create a safer belly band. By making a miniature hybrid holster (with thick leather and a thick shell) and adding some high-strength Velcro to the back of it, they created a holster that can stick to any surface with a Velcro loop field.<\/p>\n

In the case of the belly band, you strap the band around you, stick the holster to the band, and then take an extra flap of band material and cover the hybrid holster.<\/p>\n
