Hi guys. I'm interested in purchasing a Fobus paddle holster for my XD subcompact. This may be a dumb question, but i'm going to ask anyway. :D When I go on the Fobus website, it doesn't specify if the holster for the XD works for the subcompact as well. Does anyone use this holster for their XD sc? Would you recommend it?
Didn't your gun come with the "XD Gear", or did you buy used?
Regarding Fobus, check out this thread: Fobus Holsters - Love-em or Hate-em?,
Personally I don't see what the attraction to them is and would rather have something else.
No, I bought the 'essentials' kit, brand new. It didn't include that crappy holster, which was nice...because I didn't have to pay for something I won't be using. Since you aren't a Fobus fan, what is your holster of choice?
As and FYI, "that crappy holster" that comes with the XD is basically a Fobus holster minus the Fobus markings. :smt1099Quote:

If you don't mind spending more $$$ I really like stuff from Comp-Tac.
My Current XDM OWB holster is a UBG Regulator.

Ah, here's someone else who wants to carry his expensive pistol in a cheap holster.
I don't get it.

If you're going to completely poo-poo the Fobus, do you have another suggestion for a holster?
I'm a fan of Galco and High Noon holsters.

Hi LoveMyXD, I purchased a SA XD40 SC and you should look at the following:
Crossbreed Super Tuck, or if you want a really good holster that you can wear in a variety of ways, IWB, OWB, Hi, Low, different cants, etc. try a Pure Kustom Pro.

Must be a temp issue, I can view them OK.Quote:

Galco makes the best in-stock, ready-to-go holsters I know.Quote:
