I've been looking at the C-T.A.C. and was wondering how it was in the hot months. I like the idea of the two clips. Being as it is so f'n hot here, I'm not sure if a leather rig would work out for me.

What do you use in the brutal heat of summer?

If you choose to go with leather you should consider two identical holsters. This way you can have one to wear, and one to dry during the "off day" and then rotate every day.

If you go with kydex you might still consider a duplicate (assuming you have found THE ONE) so that any chance failure can be remedied immediately....thereby saving you the multi-week wait for a replacement.

My personal choice is kydex for when I KNOW that I will be sweating, and leather (for comfort) when routine activities are the choice of the day. If I am wrong on the latter I can always swap to kydex as the leather dries.

C-Tac keeps 'em nice and snug and is very adjustable. It does have some leather too but I have not experienced and trouble from it.

Kydex is the way to go in the Vallet of the Sun. When I used leather it use to turn into wet tissue, that was a horse hide rig too by the way. I have Cen-dex holsters but he does not seem to be around any more, heard he went with the Blackwater folks. So I now use Mach 2 Tactical IWH, great rig by the way.

So you can either roll it up in toilet paper or go with kydex it's up to you.

I just placed my order for a crossbreed holster. 6 weeks until delivery. I'll give my review when I get it.

Thanks guys for your input.
