Crossbreed Freedom Carry Holster

By Aaron

CrossBreed Holsters has a very good reputation in only 10 years of business.
CrossBreed Holsters has a very good reputation in only 10 years of business.

CrossBreed Holsters has acquired serious accolades for their extremely functional and comfortable holsters. In just 10 years the upstart company has gone from one man’s simple desire for a functional holster to one of the holster industry’s most reputable companies. CrossBreed Holsters has just announced their Freedom Carry Holster just in time for the holidays.

I recently reviewed the CrossBreed SuperTuck holster and found it to be both comfortable and secure. Read my SuperTuck review.

Coming with a locking clip design, and backed by premium cow or horse leather, the Freedom Carry is a compact design making a variety of concealed carry options available to the shooter. The thin design provides the user maximum benefits for flexible positioning along the waistline, and the premium leathers provide outstanding comfort while keeping the firearm away from the shooter’s body.

Founder Mark Craighead had a “box of holsters” with both good and bad features. None of the holsters were just right, so Mark decided to create his own holster. Taking the best and most functional features of the holsters he had, and leaving the non-functional behind, Mark created a holster that radically open up the holster market. Combining premium leathers, custom cuts, and individually tailored Kydex holsters, CrossBreed has some of the finest off-duty, or CCW holsters available on the market today.

CrossBreed Freedom Carry

The Freedom Carry is an inside-the-waistband (IWB) holster particularly tailored to the needs of those who carry a concealed firearm on a regular basis. The Freedom Carry is designed to carry full frame pistols, making it a great selection for off-duty officers, or detectives in undercover assignments. Despite being capable of holding full size pistols, the Freedom Carry is built with a minimalist approach in mind.

The premium leathers are amazingly comfortable, and are specifically cut to provide enough separation and protection to keep the holstered firearm away from the shooter’s body. The design provides enough support to maintain the holster’s function during a wide variety of activities and motions by the user, but is cut down to avoid any unnecessary bulk or weight.

The Kydex holster is designed as a straight draw holster, but has adjustable attachment points allowing for an angled draw if preferred. The Kydex is professionally riveted to the leather backing, and uses traditional tension locking to secure the firearm into the holster. The locking clip design securely attaches the holster to the user’s belt allowing for a positive draw with minimum holster movement.
