They combine a precision-molded, modular Kydex lower shell with an injection-molded piece that specifically secures the pistol. There are numerous fits available for specific makes and models of defensive handguns. By combining the Kydex lower shell with the injection-molded polymer upper shell, users are able to easily swap the light-specific part of the holster without needing to replace the entire unit. This ensures that carriers aren\u2019t locked into a specific make and model of tactical light. Both portions of the CrossBreed holster are joined together via a series of screws.<\/p>\n<p>The CrossBreed LightGuard holster\u2019s shape and profile also support AIWB (appendix inside the waistband) carry, given that pistols can sit inside the holster with no cant. LightGuards come with a single, wide belt clip. These new holsters are also designed to support pistols with slide-mounted, electronic sights along with taller back-up iron sights.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"h3\">CrossBreed LightGuard IWB Holster Specifications<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Inside-the-Waistband (IWB) holster type<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Designed for pistols equipped with popular weapon lights (model-specific fit)<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Hybrid shell construction: injection-molded replaceable light shell and precision-molded Kydex pistol shell<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Adjustable screw-based retention system<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Multiple mounting clip options<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Appendix, strong-side, or cross-draw carry positions<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Ambidextrous draw orientation<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Built for everyday carry and range use\u00a0<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Available in black only\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To learn more about the new CrossBreed LightGuard IWB Holster which has a starting retail price of $44.95, please visit CrossBreed\u2019s website at crossbreedholsters.com\/.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Crossbreed\u2019s website will also have a comprehensive list of handgun fits across several makes and models.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shootingillustrated.com\/content\/first-look-crossbreed-lightguard-holster\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CrossBreed Holsters has recently unveiled the new CrossBreed LightGuard holster, an IWB (inside-the-waistband) concealment holster that accommodates pistols with tactical lights built on CrossBreed\u2019s Multi Flex platform.\u00a0 Crossbreed LightGuard holsters are of hybrid construction.
