XD45 vs XD9

[SkWaShDeM]

Can someone tell me the difference in width of the two? I've been looking on the SA site, but only height & length are listed. The 45's .25" taller, but I can't find a width measurement. I'm wondering if the holsters would be interchangeable. Fobus claims that their paddle holsters will fit all XD's, but I'm skeptical. Was hoping someone might have tried this if they had one of each lying around.

All of the kydex and polymer holsters which I have seen or tried would fit any XD.

Leather is a different beast, simply because of a tighter fit to the frame and minor length differences, but even some leather holsters are interchangeable between standard and .45-frame XDs.

Yeah, what molonlabetn said... pretty much.

I used the same Fobus holster for both an XD-45 Service and XD-9 Service. There is a screw that you can turn to adjust tension on the gun.

Eh... I had two Comp-Tac kydex holsters for different XD guns (9mm and 45acp) and the 9 was always really loose in the 45 holster.

Hmm, I guess the 45 is a little broader. Guess I'll have to get separate leather for it if I ever pick one up. Nice to know that Kydex will play nicely with it some of the time though. Thanks.

Yeah... The XD-45acp I tried in my SERPA holster once was a bit more snug than my XDs, but required no adjustment or extra effort to draw.
