The holster from Tommy on glocktalk was slightly cheaper than a crossbreed and he had a lead time of 2 days. At the time, I had a hardware issue with my carry holster so I needed a new one quickly. I've used a crossbreed and I don't find there to be any quality difference between the two. The hooks may look cheaper, but they are metal and they function just fine. If there is a problem with the holster, Tommy will fix it.
Call it a knockoff or whatever you want, I don't really care.
I also have an OWB holster that some would consider a Raven concealment knockoff. Raven concealment has a ridiculous lead time and charge outrageous prices. It's just Kydex and the Magpul videos gave them enough free advertising...they should lower their prices. Too many companies like Raven are charging close to $100 for Kydex holsters, which is ridiculous (Edit:: Crossbreed isn't one of these companies, they sell a great product at a fair price IMO). I'm personally glad to see the explosion of knock off kydex holsters out there being sold by people who feel we deserve quality gear at a competitive price. Here is the holster:
Excellent holster with quality hardware. He also sells double and single mag holsters as well as ar15 single mag holders.

No, but I looked at those. I was about to order one when I found a member on another forum making these with less lead time.

Amazing isn't it? What looks like the word's largest and most cumbersome holster turns out to be extremely comfortable and allows you to conceal moderately sized full size weapons under a tshirt. The distance between the clips really spreads the weight out, too. Congrats.

I have no idea what that style is called. It's a righty made by a forum member on another sight that makes and sells holsters. Awesome outside the waist holster! I can carry it concealed under a light shirt and jeans or shorts...so long as the bottom is covered. The extra width makes it hug as tight as possible and prevents printing more than a smaller holster. PM me for details...I'm sure he'll appreciate the business! Makes holsters for most anything.
This is the one tommy made me...sorry for the confusion.
