The great holster search begins...

[BigPoppa]

Friday I did my part to "stimulate" the economy by buying two guns from Specialty Arms in La Vergne.

One of these new additions is a Springfield Armory XD9 sub-compact that I intend(ed) on making my main CCW gun. I have a XD40 service model and LOVE it, so I figured this XD-SC would make a great purchase.

Here's the rub....now that I've had my new gun home for a few days, fondled it, looked at it, etc. I now realize that it's not quite as "compact" as I had originally thought. Still not ruling it out for primary carry, just gotta find the right holster.

So......anybody recommend a good holster for my new baby ? It's got to be either IWB or OWB. I am 5'7" and "not skinny".

If you like IWB, check out Comp-tac. I have the CTAC and love it, and others on this forum like the MTAC even more.

Comp-Tacs are well regarded, and the Don Hume 711/721 series is very comfortable.

before you buy the actual holster, you will need a BIG BOX.... Good Luck!!

To hold all the holsters you will buy and end up not using in that elusive search for the right one.

Gotcha...thanks:pleased:

Don Hume IWB or JIT OWB.

Check out WWW.GUNNERSALLEY.COM

I always end up recommending Hume. A quality product that isn't a ridiculous price. I use Hume for civilian use and Bianchi for military type stuff.

If ya want I can cut you a real good deal on my BIGBOX

holsters included;)

[Guest I_AM_WOOD]

MTAC -- it's a little more in the mid to higher price range but worth every cent in my book. Only one in box that i can wear and you have no idea that i'm armed, also I don't notice it's there standing or sitting (which i do almost all day). Search c-tac or mtac on any forum and see what you come up with.

+2 for the JIT by don hume ( if i don't mind some printing)

[Marswolf]

You don't need a big box. Just keep selling the refuse to your "friends."

[Guest jackdog]

But but What if you have no friends.

[strickj]

Then you try to get rid of them online

Brommeland inside the waist holster for my XD 9 sub and it fits great...they are a little pricey but well worth it. Plus they are made in TN

I'll post some pics

Ankle, shoulder, fanny pack, pocket, ........won't work.

I just got a Fubos Roto,and its the best thing since XD's

It rotates a full 360 degrees on the cant which works great for me.No otther holster is comfortable for me sitting all day,and I can adjust it to not poke me in the love handle.It has had some bad reviews about breaking,but like I said,it works great for me.

[Guest Disney]

I've got the MTAC and love it. Also have rocked the CTAC and it did very well also. Between teh two i'd take the MTAC all day.

[Guest dwrd]

+1 on the MTAC. They are a quick turn around to. I ordered mine on a Monday, and it came in the mail on that Friday.

www.comp-tac.com is their website.

Fubos Roto

I didn't know we allowed such language on this board.

if you like kydex

Not me. I've sold all of my Kydex stuff to my "friends."

[Guest Len]

The day I find the "perfect" holster will be the same day I win the lottery twice and a hot babe falls for me. My collection grows and grows, and grows....

[Im Neero]

I like leather better, but in the summer I sweat right through it, thus the CTAC. This time of year I go with a Galco Summer Special knock off.
