I need a tuckable IWB holster for my XD-9 sub. I've seen great remarks about the CTAC, ANSWER, FIST and a few others. Anyone useing the Comp-Tac "shirt tucker"? I seem to like this one and I don't really want two clips hanging over my belt as is the case with the C-tac and the Answer. Or is the xd to heavy for that single off center clip design? It doesn't appear to be able to adjust the cant. I'm also considering the Desantis "tuck this". But it doesn't look like it has a slide guard. The blockish shape of the XD does not feel good agaist the skin. A few of the holster websites don't show multiple views of their holsters. I will be moving the holster from strong side to cross draw and even SOB.

I've got the Tailgunner from High Noon holsters for my 9mm sub and love it. Take a look at the other models as well. Let me know if you have any questions.

Here's a recent post with pics of my holster.

Galco makes the SkyOps. I have one for my 4 in service. Most of the time, I don't even use the tuck feature. Here is why, with the XD 4in and prob even the sc, you still have a lump on you hip. On a thin pistol like an officer size 1911 or one of the small backup guns, you prob wouldn't notice. In my opinion, they are not that useful.

Freeamerican, that Galco Skyops holster looks pretty good. Of course the website doesn't show the back side of the holster! Does it have a slide gaurd? A retention screw? Can you adjust the cant? I like the Y clip they use, It hardly shows at all. I don't want a J clip. Some of the standard clips are very noticeable.

XDSC, the highnoon tailgunner and Closing argument look pretty nice. however I want a black holster. Their clip seems good.

The Comp-Tac Shirt Tucker works. If you don't like two clip it may be a good choice. Often, with a gun the width of an XD, a clip in front of the gun and a clip in back spread the weight and reduce the bulk.
