Comfortable Carry<br />

CrossBreed Holsters has established<br />

as its forte the most comfortable,<br />

accessible, and effective carry<br />

of concealed firearms possible. Their<br />

quality is impeccable and their designs<br />

ingenious. Their products are also very<br />

reasonably priced. Their SuperTuck<br />

CCP holster is fitted perfectly to the gun<br />

and rides discreetly.<br />

The SuperTuck is designed both for<br />

comfort and accessibility. The belt clips<br />

are adjustable for cant and the generous<br />

leather body of the holster spreads<br />

the pressure of the gun out sufficiently to<br />

ensure comfort. The polymer body of the<br />

rig is molded meticulously to the shape<br />

of the gun and is devoid of sharp edges<br />

that might abrade skin or clothing. I carry<br />

the CCP in a SuperTuck underneath<br />

a pair of hospital scrubs 12 to 14 hours<br />

a day and can honestly forget it is there.<br />

CrossBreed produces matching magazine<br />

carriers and top-quality leather gun<br />

belts as well. It seems to me if a holster<br />

lets you carry comfortably in what is in<br />

essence a pair of pajamas it is doing a<br />

pretty good job.<br />

The CCP chassis is designed from<br />

the outset to be carry friendly. That<br />

means no extraneous appendages to<br />

catch on clothing or gouge sensitive<br />

anatomy. The slide tapers towards the<br />

top and the sights are low profile with<br />

the expected three dots. The rear sight<br />

is drift adjustable for windage and the<br />

front sight has three optional inserts to<br />

adjust for elevation.<br />

The safety is mounted on the left<br />

and is small enough to stay out of the<br />

way while remaining large enough for<br />

easy manipulation. The polymer and<br />

stainless construction makes the CCP<br />

about indestructible in the face of sweat<br />

or rough handling. There is a length of<br />

Picatinny rail molded into the dust cover<br />

for accessories if desired.<br />

Concealed carry of a firearm is a<br />

reflection of one’s personality. Some<br />

will want a round in the chamber and a<br />

quick access carry solution so as to be<br />

instantly ready for anything. I personally<br />

balance my desire for protection against<br />

a near-insensate lust for safety. I’m a<br />

physician and I have seen some terrible<br />

firearm accidents. That being said, with<br />

the safety on and the gun in a quality<br />

CrossBreed holster I am comfortable<br />

carrying the Walther CCP with a round in<br />

the chamber. Every cop in America carries<br />

this way and accidental discharges<br />

are thankfully quite rare. However, most<br />

of the armed citizens I met on a recent<br />

trip to Israel carried with the chamber<br />

empty and they do just fine thank you<br />

very much. Different strokes…<br />

Range Report<br />

The Walther CCP really does strike<br />

a nice balance. When stoked with some<br />

high-end Winchester Train and Defend<br />

ammo the gun is comfortable without<br />

being docile. Winchester’s Defend line<br />

of tactical handgun ammunition sports<br />

nickel-plated cases, low flash powders,<br />

and some of the most vicious expanding<br />

bullets in the inventory. Their Train<br />

counterparts push FMJ bullets that are<br />

ballistically matched to their more sinister<br />

counterparts only cheaper. Using this<br />

ammo you can save the good stuff for<br />

serious social work and train on rounds<br />

that run and feel exactly the same only<br />

at a lower cost.<br />

The SuperTuck from Cross-<br />

Breed is the perfect carry solution<br />

for this tidy little heater from<br />

Walther. Both the gun and a<br />

spare magazine may be carried<br />

easily underneath light clothing.<br />
