I use a Fobus paddle.

sartwell, is that holster easy to get use to? seemed really tight and not easy to get out of the holster very fast?

I recomend a leather holster for it. Desantis or galco

It has an ajustment screw. I had to back it out at first, but after a few drills I was able to tighten it back up a little.

Blackhawk SERPA CQC #410531BK-R It comes with both paddle and belt loop platforms. The SERPA lock holds the gun with no thumb strap to play with. You can stand on your head, jump on a trampoline, or perform any other physical activity and the lock holds the gun in place until you release it as you draw the firearm. The best price I've been able to find is at OpticSale.com. I have one of these holsters for my Colt 1911 and another for my XD-45 Tactical.

When I had my XD I had a paddle holster and didnt really care for it. If I had to do it over I'd go with a nice leather one like Galco

I only OC my xd sc occasionally around the house. I was able to get one of the xd gear paddle holsters (mine only came with the belt holster, I'm assuming its a sc thing) But the xd gear holster doesn't have much in the way of retention. As you search, keep in mind that anything for the xd will fit the xd sc.

I 2nd the Raven suggestion. I carry my 9c in one, works very well.

This is what I use. I was a bit standoffish about the paddle holsters at first, but the sheer convenience of not having to de-belt every time you take it off or put it on is brilliant.

I have used a Fobus paddle, I do suggest that you get one with a retention screw. This holster works well and is affordable if you like paddles.

I finally came across a Galco Concealment belt holster. This holster is open top but very secure. All I could find was a holster for four inch Springfield and it worked fine but I had it cut down to a three inch at a leather shop in Ft Wayne.

This holster was $80 delivered but is a fine belt holster.

I used an ultrathin Kydex IWB holster from FIST, which seemed about as thin as an IWB holster could be. That said, it was very uncomfortable--I think the XD is just too thick to carry IWB. I ended up selling the XD and bought a Glock 19 instead...if I still had the XD I'd probably wear a paddle holster like others have mentioned. The Fobus paddle for my G19 is quite comfortable and reasonably concealable, at least at this time of year.
