I would like to enlist the help of so many others on these forum threads that have more experience with the XD platform than I do.

Next week sometime, I will be placing my order for a new XD40 subcompact.

I prefer to carry IWB and have seen many of the postings regarding holsters that you folks have and use for carry.

What I would like to ask please, is if you would kindly list no more than three (3) holsters that you would recommend that I examine for use to carry my XD40 sub.

If you have only one (1) suggestion, great! I simply want to compile a list and pick the top three IWB holsters to look at. This will help me narrow my search a bit.

If you want to list an OWB, that's okay but I simply need to hear from those of you who carry IWB and what problems you've had, what you like and don't like. Hey, we've all had a holster that was just right, :wink: and some that we had to return.

Please help me avoid the latter.

I should mention (if it matters), that I prefer to carry at the 3:00-3:30 postion IWB.

Your assistance is most appreciated friends.

Top choice would be the tucker answer holster. It's also the most expensive.

A close second would be Comp Tac's C.T.A.C. (www.comp-tac.com). Since you have several lengths of XD, you might consider the slide version. I prefer the C and standard clips.

I like Kydex, particularly for an IWB holster. I like the Shirt tucker option too.

A desantis TuckThis! and a Desantis Pro Stealth.

Seems redundent, but the tuck this is great for work, but I like the normal clip of the Pro Stealth for Shorts, or weekend blue jeans. The spare mag pouch is nice and snug.

My next tucker will probally be a High Noon Holsters "Closing Argument" in Horse hide.

The answer is supposed to be worn behind the hip, so if you really want 3:00 CTAC is the way to go.

To all those that have responded so far, I want to thank you for all of the suggestions that you have made.

Until I choose a primary IWB holster, I have picked up a Galco Matrix for use at the range and during those times that I can wear a jacket or sport coat. Not too bad of a rig for the money either.

I have had a Tex Shoemaker IWB holster made out of suede. It has a clip that fits over the belt. I like it. Was $18 a year ago.

retired, here is one holster that is in his online catalog that
can get someone into deep do-do when a firearm is mated
up with it -

With a holster of this type and a firearm installed to perform
as the holster was designed to do, it becomes 'another' under
the ATF rules now. Thus, it has to be licensed.
