Springfield XD45 Service Model

[clhettinger]

This is the first handgun I owned and enjoy shooting it when I can. I like the features on it (cocking indicator, load indicator, safety devices, & capacity).
While I don't feel it would be comfortable to carry concealed (any suggestions are appreciated), it is a nice piece to have at home. I also like the finish and the way it fits in my hand (medium hand, fat fingers).

First, you need to read the rules for the contest. Mainly the ones that your title must start with "Review:" and that your review must include pictures. Also you might want to take a look at some of the other reviews to get an idea of what is the standard for a review on this website.

Now on a less snippy note, most people here will suggest the Raven Concealment Systems Phantom holster for OWB concealment and a Crossbreed Supertuck (or similar) for IWB concealed carry.

Hopefully (for your sake) people don't get too crappy with you for this post, but take a look around a little and read the FAQS and in this case the contest rules before you post so people don't blow you up.

Regards:
JT

Moved to Handguns, as it seems more pertinent here than in the Contest forum.

I carry a XD40 service model it is practicaly the same size as th XD45 and I have no problems with comfort. I do find the CROSSBREED SUPERTUCK works really well and also the BLACKHAWK SERPA.

I have an XD45 Service and an XD45 tactical with stainless slide.
I liked the more natural aim of the XD45 over the Glock 21 enough that I sold my Glock 21 to a friend.

While I normally carry my Sig 220, I do carry an XD45 from time to time in a Supertuck without any difficulty.

I carry a XD45 tactical in either a Kirkpatrick Leather texas crossdraw holster or a Raven phantom holters. The phantom goes Iwb or owb depending on the situation and is light compatible with a Streamlight TLR-1. You shouldn't have any comfort problems.
