Well, I have decided that with the clip draw, my XD service model is more than comfortable for conceal carry IWB. The thing is, I would like osmething to cover the trigger gaurd and also keep the gun from being in constant contact with my skin. What is out there sub $30 that will not add a lot of thickness to my XD that will let me carry IWB. Its important that it not add much to the thickness of the XD because of how I dress and my lifestyle. Thank you!

EDIT:
Just a small FYI. When I wear my XD with the clip-draw, it rides pretty low on my wasteband. Just slightly lower than this:

check out gunnersalley......and look under fist....i have 2 of them one my xd sub and i just got one for my 5 in 1911 and it conceals very well......

Fist's entry level clip draw is outstanding. You can get it w/ forward or regular cant. Its a little bit over your price range, about $34 plus shipping. Leather is a bit thick but it also comes in kydex, which is substantially thinner. I will say that the leather isn't all that bad. All the size 32 pants that I bought before I started carrying will still fit me. I just had to get a new belt.

Im very pleased with my uncle mikes nylon sidekick. it is a size 15 and it conceals very well. at only 12 bucks you cant go wrong. some people said that you can not reholster it one handed but i have been able to with a little practice.

I have that holster, but no pictures of it. You don't want to see my gut/underwear like on another thread that will go unnamed. It's a Model 1. I have 2 holsters from FIST, and wouldn't hesitate to buy or recommend them to anyone.

I bought this same holster to see if I wanted to carry IWB. It works. I have to say, though, that the FIST model is far superior. It holds the gun better, reholstering is better, it's more comfortable, more concealable, and better in every way.

Well, I was at the gun shop helping a friend pick out his first gun (he went with a BERSA .380 by the way) and I asked what they had for good IWB carry and the guy grabbed a size 15 Sidekick off the rack. I decided I would give it a try. Overall, I like it. I think I am going to get a friend of mine to strengthen the stiching that holds teh belt loop part on, but other than that, I like how it is thin, and soft. My friend talked teh guy into throwing one in for free with the Bersa and I have to say, it hides that thing well in my wasteband. I might have to pick that combo up for myself! (or maybe a kel-tec :twisted: )

Thanks guys for your help!

They are a little expensive, but do a search on Lighting Arms and then look at the Milt Sparks Vers Max II holster. The best, most comf holster I have used. And, get a good belt.

Try a quality IWB holster once and you will never scimp on a holster again. My SC40 is in a Highnoon Closing Argument and is very concelable and comfy yet fast to draw. Milt Sparks or others are options but I prefere Highnoon, YMMV.

Anyone using a Fist 17/17A? I thinking about buying one when I get the cash.
