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’s Multi Flex platform.
Crossbreed LightGuard holsters are of hybrid construction. 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’t locked into a specific make and model of tactical light. Both portions of the CrossBreed holster are joined together via a series of screws.
The CrossBreed LightGuard holster’s 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.

I’ve been a fan of CrossBreed Holsters for a while now, and the LightGuard seems like a solid addition to their lineup, I’m excited to try it out.
The fact that the LightGuard holster supports AIWB carry and has a single, wide belt clip is a plus for me, I’ve been looking for a reliable appendix carry option.
I’ve tried AIWB carry before and it’s been a revelation, the comfort and concealment are unmatched.
I’m concerned about the availability of fits for specific makes and models of handguns, will CrossBreed be expanding their lineup to include more options?
The ambidextrous draw orientation is a nice touch, it’s great to see manufacturers considering left-handed shooters.
The price point of $44.95 seems reasonable considering the hybrid construction and adjustable screw-based retention system, I might have to check it out.
I’m skeptical about the lack of cant in the holster’s design, won’t that affect the draw stroke?
Actually, the lack of cant can make for a smoother draw, it’s all about personal preference and training.
The CrossBreed LightGuard holster’s ability to accommodate pistols with tactical lights is a game-changer, especially with its modular design allowing for easy swapping of light-specific parts without replacing the entire unit.
The fact that the LightGuard holster comes with multiple mounting clip options is a big plus, it’s all about versatility and adaptability.
The CrossBreed LightGuard’s compatibility with pistols equipped with slide-mounted electronic sights is a big selling point for me, I’ve got a pistol with a red dot sight.
I’m curious about the durability of the injection-molded polymer upper shell, will it withstand the wear and tear of daily carry?
I appreciate that the holster is designed for everyday carry and range use, it’s not just a one-trick pony.
