Left-handed holster like the stock Springfield? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Is there a left-handed holster like the stock Springfield that comes with the XD? I don't always want to conceal, and I really like the original holster, but I'm way too cool to be right-handed!

I'd hate to be the one to point out the "Search" feature on the forums.
Short Answer. If you call Springfield, they'll send you one. A few members here have mentioned them to even be free of charge.

You can also turn your stock OWB right-handed one into an IWB left handed one by using a dremel (or other tool) and cutting a slit on the bottom edge of the belt loop, effectively making it into a 'clip' instead.

Hope this helps.

Kevin, I understood the question. No, Springfield does not send you a left handed holster like the stock right hand that comes with the XD. Yes they will give you a holster for free, but it will be a paddle holster.
+1 on what yeahYeah said. There are alot better options out there. I personally use a Rusty Sherrick Dawson Light Rail System Holster - Call Sign Impact
You can find it here:
C. Rusty Sherrick - Vertical Belt Holsters

You can use it concealed and it looks good enough to wear unconcealed. It is very well thought out, very durable(Horse Hide not Cow) and a very positive draw.
