Jason,

Welcome to the chubby club. I just ordered a new holster for my XD 45. It's a Safariland 6004. I don't have it yet but I have used the Model 6280 version and it's was pretty slick.

Sure, you can get a cheaper, all in one holster that can hold "Any 4-5 inch auto". However, I feel that there's much better retention with the SLS system.

Safariland 6004 Tactical Holster

The tactical SLS holster is built for comfort as well as functionality. This holster features the SLS rotating hood system which is so well suited for the tactical situations encountered today.
Since there is no snap, the "SLS" allows for a smoother single-motion draw and greater protection against attempted weapon takeaways and provides reliability in the unpredictable conditions that occur during tactical operations. The hood can only be released by being simultaneously pushed down and rotated forward and actually becomes more secure when upward force is applied. It is also far less likely to release accidentally than conventional thumb break snaps.

Use the search engine of your choice to find the best deal. This holster will run you about $115.
