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 />
