I am thinking of getting either the Crossbreed 'Appendix' holster or the Crossbreed 'Mini Tuck' holster for my LC9. I currently have a Galco Stow and Go IWB holster for it that I wear 'crossdraw' as I am right handed but it is not 'tuckable'. The Appendix holster can be worn strong side or crossdraw which is appealing,but I have no idea if it is tuckable and I see where alot of people wear the Minituck in the 4 o'clock position ( for right handed people ). I know it comes down to personal preference, but was just wondering if any of you LC9 folks are familiar with either of these 2 Crossbreed holsters and what your thoughts are about them.It's not that I'm opposed to wearing the pistol in the 4 o'clock postion or favor the crossdraw, I'm just looking for any comments good or bad about either holster or position of wearing the pistol. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or comments.

While I have no personal knowledge of CrossBreed's Appendix holster it does appear [LOOKING AT THE PICTURE ON THEIR WEBSITE] that is tuckable. Also they say: "CrossBreed® Holsters is pleased to introduce the all new IWB Appendix Carry Holster. The Appendix Carry is designed for popular small to medium firearms with all of the attributes of the market changing SuperTuck® and MiniTuck®." That further indicates it is tuckable. But why don't you just call them .... 888-732-5011 ... and ask them? They're nice people and will answer your questions and treat you right. I've dealt with them personally and highly recommend both them and their products.
You know, I very rarely tuck my shirt in so pocket carry or a close to body OWB is what I'm after. I do need to check out these holsters you mentioned though. Thanks.
CrossBreed is a very good company. They market a good product and provide excellent customer service. They offer a lifetime warranty and a two week trial period. Once you receive your holster you have two weeks to try it out, if it doesn't work for you, simply give us a ring and we will buy it back, less shipping and handling. Even after your two-week-try-it-free period is over, the holster still carries a lifetime warranty and we will repair or replace it as long as you own it if it fails you in any way under normal use.
I agree with Trucker a phone call and brief conversation with CrossBreed may resolve you concern and provide you with a rig that will meet your need.
am thinking about changing my carry to appendix. I have read about the many advantages. Would be very curious to hear from you how that works out? I just ordered a different holster to try it myself.
Even more advantageous is cross draw carry. See the cross draw post on my blog for a reprint of a good article on this. Any IWB holster that can be made or adjusted to a straight drop configuration will work fine for cross draw. You should also look at Foxx, N82 and Remora for holsters. Crossbreed are good, but pricey.
Had an incident here where a young man had bought a new Glock .40 and was evidently carrying without a holster, or trying to re-holster with an IWB rig not made for it, and shot himself in the leg. He is now recovering.
Mayonardo - How do I get to your 'blog'? Would like to read your reprint of the cross draw article you mention. BTW, I still have not received my Crossbreed Appendix holster yet ! 2 months and still waiting.
Here's my Mini-tuck. ONLY possible drawback is it takes longer to put on than the Remora no-clip. Since I'm rarely in a hurry that doesn't bother me. I have LCP in a pocket holster if I am. I have the "J" clips that go under the belt.
Well I got the Cross Breed Appendix holster and so far the only complaint I have is that the dang belt clip seems to come loose !!! Any suggestions as how to remedy this problem ??
If you look at the pic above, I have the "J" clips. They slide over the pants, then the belt is put on after. Much more concealed, and the act of drawing brings the "hook" tight against the belt rather than attempting to pull the clip off the belt. If you can make the pic big enough to see you can see what I mean better than I can explain it.
I have the desantis sof tuck #106 IWB tuck with adjustable cant. In my opinion this is the best value and my favorite cc holster. I use different cc rigs for different attire or different activities.
I like the pocket holster for my pocket pistols. OWB for large frames.
