I need 4-5 guys that wear hybrid holsters everyday to help me. We recently came up with a new idea for a hybrid backer and I need some test results. I can not carry daily at work and my nights consist of me in the shop working so I don't have a real way to put this thru the paces. What I need is KNOWN forum members that wear hybrids everyday that are willing to try this out for me 1 month. Saying that this has nothing to do with gun retention or accessing your fire arm. It will be like any other hybrid. The main concern here is comfort.

We are using a neoprene waterproof backer with 1/8 of waterproof silicon foam. Another layer of material to add structure, then a nylon front for some slight friction but not much.

We have not decided to purchase the hardware or materials to finish the edges because we do not know if we have a proven product. So please ignore the edges (they are soft so shouldnt matter, just looks) and I will use my gun molds in stock to make it to were it fits your gun. I keep most common gun molds in stock, so if it is an off the wall gun I am sorry.

I would like to make a PM with the group of guys that volunteer and do updates. 2-3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, etc.

In turn if it is successful once we figure out material for the edges each one will get a free hybrid holster, if its a bust thanks for playing grin

I have worn this around the shop for hours and the material is amazing, but like I said I can't wear it everyday.

Here are some pic of the POS unfinished backer without the shell, but you get the idea.

Thanks for the help and plz let me know who is interested

I would be down for a sig P238. I have to watch when I carry so it may only be 5 hours a day 3 days a week but if it helps I am down.

I normally carry in one of the those sticky holsters with my glock 26, the small 9mm, I think that's the right model. Would be more than happy to help out.

I've been carrying for several years using only StealthGear USA Onyx IWB hybrid holsters. I absolutely love hybrid holsters and have a hard time wearing anything else now. If you need another tester I'd be glad to help, and I'd love to see how your rig feels compared to the StealthGear rig.

East, I carry daily. G29 in 10mm (same as G20 or G21). I'm not sure exactly what a hybrid is, but I carry a Cross Breed 3 o'clock IWB. Is that the same as hybrid?

cheers It doesn't do well for business if I carry sometimes and no worries. Now that I know it is like my crossbreeds I will be on it like a chicken on a cheeto when you make it happen up
