Default XD-45 Holsters
Can anyone recommend something comfortable for both conceal carry and also open carry? Pros and cons of different types of holsters would be appreciated as I'm new to the 45.

Thanks in advance.

For concealed carry I would like to recommend the Crossbreed Supertuck. I love mine. I carry an XD subcompact in it and I forget it is on my hip. Very comfortable and hides the firearm wonderfully. These pics are of a full size XD that I have in the holster. It comes with different clips if you want something more hidden. I haven't had anyone notice this holster on me yet.

This is mine with what the call the combat cut. It allows a bit easier access to the grip. But slightly reduces comfort.

I use one of these http://www.blackhawk.com/product1.asp?P=4204&C=C0891 for carrying my XD .45 concealed. I've had it for about six months now and I'm quite happy with it. I don't carry openly yet, but a lot of people here seem to like these http://www.blackhawk.com/product1.asp?P=4105&C=C1387 for OC.

Oops, sorry. I must have screwed up somewhere. Let me see if I can fix it.

ETA: I deleted the bad link. See Post #4 for the correct one.

Supertuck is a great holster, I have one for my USP, only problem is the USP is to damn big... anyone wanna trade for one for a 1911?

How easily can a shirt be tucked with a holser like this. I generally always have my shirt tucked in. I was looking for CC holsers for both my XD and also my Bersa Model 83 .380 . Currently I have an old soft IWB for the Bersa and have carried it at the small of my back. I'm right handed so I asume for SOB carry it would be considered a LH holster? I'm open to any and all suggestions for both firearms even if it is not SOB.

Thanks

It's not a great concealment rig but if you want to open carry I would recommend the Safariland ALS I have one for my sig and love it. It is a very fast rig that also offers a level of retention. I haven't specifically looked for the XD but they should have one.

I forgot to mention, I did purchase the Blackhawk Serpta for OC purposes. Waiting for it to come in. I realize the XD may be large for CC but sometimes it may be nice and as I stated I usually always have shirt tucked, even T-shirts. Winter is no prob with having over garments on.
