Hi Bublar,
I've tried alot of holsters and wasted alot of money on them. Give Crossbreed a try, you won't be dissapointed.

I carry my XD-45 Service Model in a CompTac C-TAC IWB holster. As a lefty, I carry it in the 8:00 position and am quite happy with my holster selection. YMMV.

A lot depends on your "personal configuration" (e.g. body composure). I am a relatively skinny guy (6'2", 192 lbs) and find that concealing the 45 ACP to be a bit of a challenge unless I am wearing a loose XL t-shirt. Being a cheapskate, I picked up a Uncle Mike's Inside the Pants Sidekick at Sportsman's Warehouse, a simple neopreme holster with a clip that holds my XD quite snugly. As I am not going to run around like T.J. Hooker with it, I don't think I will have any problems with the gun falling out (the model I have doesn't have a retention strap, but if you are concerned about that, they do have models with them). I find that the UM's size 15 holsters are just right for the XD-45 ACP.

Good luck, finding the right holster is like finding the right woman...it takes some "trial and error"

Cheers! M2

I use a Crossbreed super tuck (very comfortable), and for quick on/off (like running to the store) I use an IWB FIST #7 Kydex with J-hooks.

M2XD · 09-08-2006, 07:09 AM

I dug out the package my Uncle Mike's came in, it is model number 8915-1; but it is for a righthanded carry...

Hope that helps!

Cheers! M2
