Fixed my SuperTuck, no more ruined pants!

[Concerned Citizen]

I finally got tired of my CrossBreed SuperTuck cutting my pants. The barrel sticks about 1" out below the Kydex. When I wear it with my FNP-9 at 6:00, if I sit on any hard surfaces or hard chairs, the sharp edge of the end of my barrel cuts the back of my pants.

So, I went to Micheal's and got some leather, & used my brass grommet kit to attach it.

Good fix i just got one of these holsters for my 1911. Didnt even think this might be a problem ill have to keep an eye on it.

In the last couple of years I've had a hole/cut appear in jeans, Khaki's, and all sorts of shorts. It's getting expensive!

I had the same issue with a Sig P238 in a Supertuck. I just cut a strip of kydex and molded it around the end of the gun and used a couple rivets to hold it on. I made sure it was curved around the end so there were no sharp edges.

I don't have any such trouble with my compact carry, but do appreciate the idea should I choose to carry my service size. Looks like it's effective to solve the pants problem, but may be an issue for sitting and wearing it at 4 o'clock or less with that extra flap hanging down to your hip joint.
Do you always carry at 6 o'clock?

I just got my Supertuck yesterday (after a 12 week wait ). I was surprised that the kydex was as short as it is.

I carry 8 oclock so I'll watch to see what it does to my pants. Good idea for a fix!

No. I OC about 10% of the time (I would like to OC more, but I am often in sales meetings with new people, and don't want to lose a sale to the Hoplophobes) I often carry @ 3:00 IWB. I don't notice the flap, regardless of where I carry.
