Pics of Your Holster & Carrying Your XD 45? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Can those of you that carry concealed your XD 45 post some pics of your rig as you carry it? I just got mine and my LEO buddy gave me some flak and thinks it's too big of a weapon to carry concealed. Can we prove him wrong.

Noone wants to share eh? or noone is really carrying it concealed?

Well I post mine when I get my rig figured out.

If you can conceal an XD Service 9, .40 or .357sig, you can conceal the .45 ACP.

XD45ACP carried at Three oclock with a clipdraw. I carry it canted forward. Disapears in my big body pretty good now, don't know how summer will go.

there is only 1/4 inch difference in the length of the grip....
here are pics with my comp-tac IWB

ill be interested to see if that metal to-skin contact u have there causes rust.

Great one QBallwill! Does the IWB holster rub and how comfortable is it worn all day. I'm on the go all day with work; in and out of the car and on and off job sites. I'm strongly considering a shoulder holster for comfort in and out of the car, but I don't always wear a jacket and never do in the summer. Trying to figure out the best and most comfortable solution with my XD 45.

I doubt it will cause rust with the Melonite finish on the XD45s...

comp-tac makes a very comfortable holster. this is actually the holster for my XD9 which i didnt not have any rust problems with ,even though it was bi-tone..... it does not bother me that it is in direct contact with my skin, I have gone all day and rarely have to re-adjust it.... it does feel better with an undershirt on though.....

Exactly what model comp-tac is that? Does it have 2 clips? Likes/dislikes?

Thanks!
