Reasons appreciated. This would be a great assist for the new XD owner and particularly someone like me who goes crazy buying after market accessories, much of which turn out to be a waste of $.
Sorry, I like the SA holster. Why don't you just take the light off first, transfer to your left hand, then draw? Don's guide rod is also great.Verm said:personally, the new SA holster they are giving away is one of the worst. 2 reasons...
1. It's right handed only.
2. the rails. Your holster and your light are now on the same hip. I draw the weapon, then have to transfer it to other hand so I can unhook my light, mount it, then transfer back to my shooting hand. I rather have the weapon ready to fire at all times while I get the light from my other hip out of it's own holder and mount it with my support hand.

very simple reason. If I have to draw my gun, it's because there is a threat. Having to spend seconds taking off the light then drawing the gun, or drawing the gun and then having to shift to other hand could get me killed. That's why my XML sits in it's own holster on my weak hand side.jcrich33 said:Sorry, I like the SA holster. Why don't you just take the light off first, transfer to your left hand, then draw?

What he said!!Son of Norway said:Someone on the forum was pimping an $8 range bag from wallyworld, I think in the pre-hack days (I did a search, could not find thread). Well, I was at WW tonight and saw one and dammit I couldn't pass it up. Made by Rubbermaid for tools but seems to be custom made for pistol totin'.
Good accessory there, bro.
Worst? Any holster that is RH only. Support your left handed brethren and boycott them until they make a holster for everyone.
