Carry my XD9?

[wolfts01]

I am a very small and skinny guy, and I comfortably CC a Walther PPS in both a Raven Concealment Phantom or a bellyband holster. I use the Phantom IWB with wings and tuckable C clips, and it works very well; most times I wear tight fitting t-shirts and don't print.

I highly recommend the Walther PPS in 9mm or .40. It is a heck of a lot thinner than most bulky "compact" handguns, and just as reliable. I have never had a malfunction in over 600 rounds.

i put it in the classifieds just to see what offers i get

I would suffer for a while until I had the money saved up to get a smaller pistol myself. Take it from a guy who has sold stuff off, only to seriously regret it later.

I agree, although the PPS is amazing as a carry gun, I sometimes wish I had a full size just to mess around with.

Is it a 4" XD or a 5" XD?

I've carried a fullsize 4" XD for the past 6~ years. Never had a problem with it being uncomfortable.

You need a good belt and holster. A 4" XD is not a big gun. Get the holster and belt and you should be set.

Check the threads for belt and holster threads, their are several recent ones.

This!
I can carry my XD9sc all day in my Kholster, very comfortable, very concealable.

You might have to adjust your clothing slightly, but I can wear Dockers and a Polo shirt and have very minimal printing(even with the Extended mag inserted)

One size larger shirts makes it disappear completely.

Yeah, when I was looking at XD's the guys at PSS told me to get the Subcompact and I'm glad I did. While I'm not what you would call "portly" I am a big guy with some weight in the midsection.

When I OC, I just use my Blackhawk Serpa with a paddle attachment. For CC, I found a nice Tagua leather holster that didn't cost a lot of $$$ and is pretty comfortable.

I carry my XD9sc. To this point it's just OWB with the plain old XD holster that it came with, it prints in pretty much anything but a sweatshirt, but so far nobody has seemed to really notice

No offense, but that holster is AWFUL. If you try just about ANY other holster it will be an improvement. Just my

Absolutely agree! But it's better than not carrying at all until I can get the money

Good point! I usually wouldn't recommend Gander Mountain for ANYTHING gun related, but keep an eye on their discount holster bin. You can find some good deals there on occasion.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't Bradis have a discount bin as well?

I picked up a Tagua at Indy Trading Post for like $35 and it's a very nice, thick leather holster. For all practical purposes, it's the same thing as the much higher priced leather CC holsters.
