SuperTuckDeluxe, The Fatman, and Houston Humidity - XDTalk Forums

Devil Dawg · 11-04-2009, 06:26 PM

I am hovering over the "Pay Now" key with the mouse. Need to verify that the following will be good to go prior to.

6'1" and 265. Yes, I did beat anorexia. Right handed. XD45 Service 4" barrel.

Will the horsehide version be the best fit for Houston area considering humidity? or will cowhide be fine?

I am going to hold off on the combat cut as that seems to be a simple enough fix if I choose to do it later.

Appreciate the help gents as I can no longer stand the anticipation and want this thing on the way. LOL.

I live in Louisiana and have the cowhide version, also for a 4" 45. No problems with it whatsoever.

Thanks... If any area is prone to the humidity like us it is you guys..LOL

It is killing me to keep switching windows waiting for replys to this and not ordering it. LOL

crossbreed ftw. DO spend the extra for horsehide. I sweat like a fat bast@rd, and really appreciate that my gun does not get soaked in corrosive salts.

Cross breed is the ONLY kool-aid I drink.

Good looking product and a Texan to boot, but Mark is a huge name here and I like to give back when I can. Price is too close to make it an easy choice, but I have yet to read or hear anything bad about the Crossbreed.

Just do it, man.

The brown horsehide simply looks better, IMHO. Buy the horsehide for that reason alone, and any humidity benefits will be just a bonus.

You've spent $500 on the gun, and hundreds or thousands of dollars on ammo, plus some other accessories, plus range fees, plus some tactical gear, plus cleaning supplies, yadda yadda yadda . . . the extra $15 (?) for the horsehide is completely irrelevant in the big picture.

Just buy it and be happy.

And then post pics. Naturally.

Yeah me too, no probs and I am a big dude. I have four holsters for mine, and the crossbreed was my last one to buy or will buy. ITS THE BOMB.

No problems for me. I use cow hide with my XDSC for the past 4 yrs. I lived in LA and now TX

Rlxurmnd · 11-05-2009, 10:00 AM

cow hide here and i live in south florida, if any state has an issue with humidity it is florida. the cow hide has not given me a problem yet. granted i carry a subcompact 40, but still my gun does not get wet with sweat at all.
