Nice pics. Where did you get the holster?

 

[techlogik]

What kind of camera?

 

[PoSSoM]

The holster is a Blackhawk CQC available at www.pistolgear.com

The camera is a Konica Minolta Z3

These are some of a few pics i took last night on auto setting, with no tactical lighting =)

New toys are the bomb.

I can't tell for sure, but it looks like your Hogue HandAll is disabling your XD's grip safety.

PoSSoM how do you like the holster? Have looked at it a couple times but ended up with a leather holster. Does it stick out very far from your body? Good for concealment?

 

[PoSSoM]

The Hogue is covering the safety. I don't carry it.

I like the Blackhawk, but its the only holster I've ever had=) It's comparable to a Fobus for concealment. Not ideal probably but would work. I use it for IDPA.

With either a craft knife or a scalpel you could remove enough of the hogue grip to make the safety functional...

i have one...
does it stick out far from your body? for me YES
good for concealment? for me NO

its good for fast drawing, and concealment under a jacket, but thats about it.

thanks to both of you. I have a fobus that I was given by a friend and dont like it for concealment. I wont even give it another thought then. Will stick with the leather.Thanks again to both.

There are two variations of the fobus holster for the XD, and the first one sucked really, really bad. I had one and sent it back with a gripe letter, and they repaced it with the newer one. They had entirely re-engineered it, and it is much better. If your middle finger gets scraped by the holster when you get a firing grip on the gun, you probably have the old model.

My paddle holster is marked "SP-11"... seems like the other one was just "SP"

I actually like the Hogue covering the safety for my purposes.

If I carried regularly I would change it, but for range shooting I dont mind having it depressed.
