I have one and absolutely love it. I’m getting a 2nd for the new handgun coming, but this time I may pay for the “Combat Cut”. You lose some comfort but I found that its harder to get my thumb between the leather and grip with the extra leather.
Don’t get the combat cut. Order the regular one and then cut it just a bit at a time until it’s the way YOU want it. I’ve done all three of mine and they’re all a bit different due to the different guns they fit.
Kujo21: I’ve found that if I put my thumb on the back of the slide when I first grip it then I can kind of slide it around as I draw. This has the added benefit of naturally and smoothly bringing my thumb into position to disengage the safety once I clear the muzzle.
I’m using a Taurus PT-145, which is striker-fired. That technique may or may not work with a hammer-fired pistol like a 1911.
Steve, I did the same thing. A little time with the dremel and sander and I cut out just enough of the leather that I could get a good grip on my Glock 17. I also cut a bit away so the holster wouldn’t catch my extended mag release. Embarrassing to slide your gun into the holster and have the mag fall out.
I actually added a part to my Supertuck for my PF-9 because I found the magazine release button was contacting the leather, leaving me with a single shot pistol. I used a rubber auto battery holddown washer, thinned it by half then cut it in just a little more than half and glued it to the leather surrounding the release button. Works perfect and I love my holster.

“Crossbreed supertuck” probably means something very different in certain parts of the country.
