pony_express1973 183 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I just got a Springfield XD 45 4" barrel and am looking for any suggestions for a good but not super expensive CCW holster for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated and if pics for the holster are available that would be even better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 IWB or OWB? 90% of the time I EDC a XD9 Service 4". Once in awhile I'll carry anything from a Bersa Thunder .380 to 1911 .45. I like belt holsters, I do not like paddle holsters. A great belt is a MUST! One of the best and least expensive belts to be had is a plain Jane leather, Amish Belt. These things are thick, stiff, and last forever. Don't pay out the nose for a belt. http://www.hanksclothing.com/amish_belts_black_buy.html IWB Minotaur MTAC or Crossbreed Supertuck, the Supertuck in horsehide is freaking great if you live in a hot/humid enviro like I do here in Lower Alabama. These are my preferred if I'm carrying concealed all day. If I have to take it on/off repeatedly, such as when I'm working, I use and really like my inexpensive Uncle Mikes IWB. It is comfortable and has barely shown any signs of wear in the two years I've had it. people talk alot of shit about UMs, but they are IMO decent. Crossbreed Minotaur OWB I do OC regularly, and I primarily use my 'Blackhawk Serpa CQC' w/ carbon fiber finish, I carry it as a belt holster. I like it's retention and style. I have several other various types of the the two, IWB/OWB, most sit unused. You have to buy and wear a holster to find out if you really like it, you'll end up with a drawer full. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrThunder88 912 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I carry my 4" 45 XD in a DeSantis Tuck-This II. It's a nice, light rig. I don't tuck my overshirt into it, but it's still easy to conceal under a pullover of some sort. Chile's right about a good belt. I normally wear a Triple K belt, but almost any heavy belt will do. Lots of belts sold at clothing stores are just too thin for good support of the holster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MT Predator 2,294 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 +1 for the Supertuck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dashowdy 141 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 galco king tuk would be an excellent choice as well, I am getting this or the CBST for my glock 17. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MT Predator 2,294 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 One thing to add is Crossbreed uses metal J-hooks to attach to the belt. Some others use plastic ones which are prone to breaking. I know one guy running Crossbreed J-hooks on a non-Crossbreed holster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
