Boejoula 0 Posted March 27, 2013 I just picked up a XD-9 sub compact the other and want to get my Utah CCW. I'm going to start carrying around the house to get used to it for out of state. I'm looking for a good inside or outside waste band, or both. And a good built for it also. I'm looking into Kydex but I've never carried before so I'd like some feedback from those who have. I plan on taking the class with gun for hire; so any feedback on tht would be good too. Thank you in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buckshot195 8 Posted March 27, 2013 I carry a Crossbreed Super Tuck Deluxe.. It is by far the best holster I have worn(I have an entire tote of off duty holsters). The Crossbreed holster conceals my Glock 27 under a tee shirt. I also use a 511 riggers belt which helps keep the holster tight to the body. Good Luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rlsbee 1 Posted March 27, 2013 I've been looking at this one from SneakyPete's Holsters. I have a Nano. I only have 6rd mags but I've put grip extensions on 'em and I'm not sure it will work. The nice part is that with it closed, it's concealed. http://www.sneakypet...ster-belt-clip/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1125 0 Posted March 27, 2013 Great quality and comfortable kydex. The IWB works great for me. http://jsholsters.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJCK 5 Posted March 27, 2013 I personally would carry that pistol IWB, and I would recommend a Nate Squared Tactical professional holster! They are very comfortable, and believe me, I have a LOT of traditional gunleather and kydex since I lived previously in a Free State and carried every day with a number of firearms in my rotation over many years! With that particular pistol and a Nate Squared IWB, a nice high quality leather belt will be fine since you'll have the benefit of friction. I'm currently carrying a Shield 9 in a Nate Squared original, and it just might be my must comfortable IWB carry combination ever but mention because the size is fairly comparable to the XD. www.n82tactical.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boejoula 0 Posted March 28, 2013 Thanks for all the input. Looking at all, I'm torn between the n8 and the crossbreed so far. Both look good and there's things I like about both. Keep em coming! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iCARRY 0 Posted March 28, 2013 I use an Old Faithful Holster IWB for my Shield 9mm. Very comfortable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shocker 150 Posted March 28, 2013 Theis holster for my Shield. It's a CBST copy but cheaper and the belt clips don't have the cross embossings (seems like something that would attract attention if you're tucked, IMO) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted March 28, 2013 I swear by Milt Sparks Versa Max II holsters (IWB) and Beltman belts. Buy once, cry once. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rifleman1 32 Posted March 28, 2013 OWB - I use the Blackhawk Serpa CQC; IWB - I use the CrossBreed SuperTuck Deluxe Shoulder - I use the Blackhawk Serpa harness and put the OWB Serpa holster from above on it for the caliber I am using. For a belt I use Cabela's Roughneck Jeans belt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boejoula 0 Posted March 28, 2013 This thread has actually made it a harder choice. I didn't know they're were so many choices. I'm liking the all Kydex holsters best I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cigarsnscotch 0 Posted March 28, 2013 Good thread though and appreciate you starting it. I have the UT/FL CCW class next weekend (7th) and I am moving to SC this summer and will be carrying there so I'm starting my research now so this is really convenient for me. Haven't decided on my carry gun yet (still waiting on my freaking permits) but I'm leaning towards a Shield .40 or 9mm and the SA XD 9SC or 40SC.

Tack Tickle 0 Posted March 29, 2013 I'm gonna make the decision harder, haha. I haven't seen anyone mention Raven or Bravo concealment holsters... both have inside waistband clips you can purchase or outside belt loops. They hold the firearm so close to the body! You can't go wrong with the crossbreed or milt sparks versa. BUT, I personally feel you get more bang for your buck with the raven or bravo. When you wear it outside it is perfect for range use, competitions, etc. You can even wear it outside for concealment. For the price Bravo is the way to go over Raven. Raven's backorder is ridiculous as well, but just shows the quality people are willing to wait for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tack Tickle 0 Posted March 29, 2013 Like others said, get a good riggers belt or reinforced instructors belt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's site out there where people make them, and they're competitively priced. Keyholeholsters.com for example. I'm really feeling their covert Kydex holster.

NJCK 5 Posted March 29, 2013 For that gun, you don't really need a true gun belt if carrying IWB. I have had, and do have a variety of gun belts from many gunleather makers, and I prefer to support the independent, 100% USA makers. With that said, if you are on a beer budget and want a HIGH quality gun belt drop Jerry Bissell a line at [email protected]. He's a one-man shop, does nothing but a single design of leather gun belt in your choice of 4 colors, a fine NC gentleman, and turns around an order FAST!

anabolism 2 Posted March 29, 2013 If im just wearing a t shirt, crossbreed supertuck deluxe. Off duty i use it to carry my compact size glocks and 1911. If i feel like having a weaponlight on my gun that day, comp tac light compatible IWB works fine. If its colder and im wearing layers, raven concealment phantom holster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Njsarge 11 Posted March 29, 2013 I carry my Glock 26 in a galco king tuk. I have also carried my Glock 19 in it and have no complaints. Use it when wearing a t-shirt or polo type shirt and it does the job. Got it for under $60 at Midway usa. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rifleman1 32 Posted March 29, 2013 Thank you, thank you, thank you! How are all these holsters while sitting? Are some better then others just in that aspect? IWB holsters are tough to get to while you are seated, especially in a confined area like a car. Some suggest you uncover your CCW pistol while seated in the car. If you are seated it is tough to draw from an IWB depending on where you wear it. When traveling I like the Kangaroo Concealed Carry Air Marshal 3 at KangarooCarry.com. It is comfortable and I can draw through the neck opening on my sport shirts. http://www.kangarooc...ticle&id=63 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boejoula 0 Posted March 30, 2013 Just out of curiosity. Where do you all carry? I know you all don't have a CCW. If you get a non resident Utah CCW and a non resident Florida CCW you can carry in many states. PA being a big one for people around here. I'm sure many people visit Florida often (my parents love there now so I will be). Check out gun for hires' website and they have a full list of all the states.
