Holster for xD

Do you have a holster for your xD?
What do you use? Naturally I am looking for one that will be concealed, but wanted to see what you guys use.

I'm just using the one that came with it, works really nicely at the range, have not found one for concealed carry yet.

Are you looking for an IWB or a belt holster and are you partial to leather or plastic?

I bought a nylon bushwhacker from the local gun shop 14 bucks. It does not fit my 5 inch tactical even though it says it will. Not a bad holster not great for concealing but I want it for the truck between my seat and the console. Will be taking it back hopefully

I bought the GunMate Tactical holster from Cabela's for 30 bucks and it is the best holster I have ever owned. It straps onto your leg with two velcro straps and then has one vertical strap that loops around your belt for support. It definitely won't give you the concealment factor you are looking for, but the holster is unbelievably comfortable and puts the gun right at your fingertips. The best way to describe the holster in one word would be "natural."

Craig, Thanks for the info. After ALOOOOT of resurch I just orderd a CC holster from Smartcarry. ther website is Gun holsters concealed by SmartCarry concealed holsters.

I gave their holster a try because i am most interested in a inside the pants, deep conceilment holster and Smartcarry seamed best to fill the bill. I should get it in about five days and will post my opinion of it after alot of use.

Thank you,
Arthur.

I didn't hear many of you refer to "Right or Left" handed. Consider yourself luck if you are right handed because hardly anyone carries a holster for lefties. I'm also looking for a conseable Lefthanded paddle holster for the XD that I just purchased. Something w/o a thumb strap that is leather, canted and keeps its form over time.

I using a Passport A4 IWB for my XD .40 service. I got mine from cowboyneeds.com for $15.95. I also have a Bianchi 6D which fits the bill, although I find the Passport gives me a little bit more comfort.

I use a DeSantis "Tuck This" IWB holster. It's right handed, but you can quickly change to lefty and carry in the small of your back. That's what I did. I guess it feels just slightly bulky, but I'm carrying the XD-45 Service (not compact) and I'm 5'5" and skinny. My friends tell me the XD never prints.

I have a Tennessee Holster IWB for my XD40 Sub Compact it's quality holster as far as I'm Concerned, but I seriously thinking of ordering a OWB Pancake with the IWB option added from Simply Rugged Holsters out of Wasilla, AK. I already have two of Simply Rugged's Holsters, one for my Taurus 44 Mag and another for my S&W J Frame 38.

Arthur,

Are you happy with your purchase? I just picked my XD 40 subcompact on Friday and need an IWB holster. I'm taking it to the range for the first time on Thursday. My first day odd since buying the gun. I can't wait.

Gary

How does the Tennessee hold up against your skin being leather? Or I should ask how does your skin react to leather against it? I like the holsters but was worried about leather against bare skin. I just got my XD 40 subcompact and need an IWB holster.

I use the Crossbreed Supertuck. Has got to be the most comfortable IWB holster I've ever used (and I have been thru many).

What model XD do you have? I have a .40 subcompact and am having trouble finding an Uncle Mike's to fit it. I, like you, love Uncle Mike's products.
