What is the best holster for a Full Size .45 XD? I would like 3 holsters. 1) concealed weapon holster 2) regular hip holster 3) drop holster - which will probably be a blackhawk Omega. I liked the one I had for my former H&K MK23 |

I have a Comp Tac C-TAC and it is one of the most comfortable IWB holsters that I have found. I bought my for a XD 40 Service, and use it for both the Service and Sub Compact models. The product is top notch and their CS is above and beyond great. |

I have one of the XD gear Paddle holsters (not the smaller belt loop holster that comes packaged with the pistol). I think it is a great holster for general range use. It has an adjustable tension, swivels for forward/rear cant and has an adjustable height for high/low wear. I wouldn't try to use this for CCW since it sticks out from the body like a duty holster. For CCW my buddy has a Galco fletch style which brings the pistol pretty close to the body. I like the feel of that holster, but you'd probably have to have a jacket to completely conceal. Hope that helps. -huskAR |

1) concealed weapon holster -- I have an IWB holster from Crossbreed Holsters that serves me well. Very inexpensive, too. 2) regular hip holster -- I'd like one that has the retention button, what's the name of it? ETA I also have a ClipDraw on my XD. It works well, lots better than you'd think. |
I'd like to know too...

What model XD do you have? My Don Hume catalog and price sheet from January 2007 shows the PCCH only for the subcompact. I would like to try it with a .45cal 4" compact |
| I will definately second the Crossbreed holsters. I have the Supertuck deluxe and love it. I think the Comp-Tac ctac would be a close second. I can wear my xd357 service all day an noone knows unless I tell them. A bit of a bulge, but not obviously a handgun. As far as the regular holster, I like the blackhawk serpa also. Cant help on the thigh rig though. |

I use the Crossbreed Supertuck Deluxe. At first it was difficult to find the right adjustment for it. After I got it adjusted just right for me and wore it in, it is quite comfortable.It forms to your shape after a few days . I can comfortably drive long distances with mine on and forget it's there . My XD is the 4 inch barrel,so yours may be slightly more difficult to carry IWB . |

I have to second the Don Hume for IWB carry. Toss on a loose T-shirt and my XD45 Service is gone. For OWB, hip carry I have a high ride High Noon Slide Guard. Nice holster, but it rides very high and at my age, the shoulders and elbows complain a lot. With this rig, a good, solid, genuine gunbelt is absolutely essential...don't cheap-out.
