How Do You Use Your Crossbreed - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I am kinda new to the carry part. My question, I have a new Crossbreed IWB. Very comfortable. My questions is several I guess:

1: How do you put the holster on, do you have to completely drop your pants to get it set(I know, but hey its a realistic question)

2: How often, when do you take it off, seems like a pain, so do you often remove your firearm (when you need to) and just leave the holster on?

i might as well be the first to say...concealed is concealed. when i put my piece on, i don't take it off until i'm home or i know i'm in a place that is ok to flash it (i.e. take it off and put it back on...gun range, friend's house, etc). i'm even particular about the bathroom i use, as i don't want anyone to see my pistol around my ankles while i'm doin' the do. can't help you with the trou dropping to get the holster situated...i have a clip-on for now, and i haven't gotten my crossbreed yet...

I put it in place before I put on my pants.
I leave it in place until I am home. If I have to disarm at time during the day I sit sideways in my car and slip the gun under the seat.
I live in NM so it is legal to show if it happens.

I was kinda wondering the same thing. I don't have a CrossBreed, I've got a CompTac C-TAC.

Just to make sure no one misunderstands, this is one comfortable holster so far.
