xdm concealing problems

[chasekerion4]

All you glock guys talk about concealing your guns. If you talked about your wives/girlfriends the same way then I'd guess you must hang out with the ugly ones or maybe are just so ashamed of your guns that you have to keep them covered up

Want a gun worth carrying, and be proud of it, get a real gun. Get a 1911

Is that artwork on that 1911 or has it just been shot at 1,000 times?

Honestly, a 1911 is my next purchase; can't decide between a Springfield and a Kimber. As far as feel, I'm on the fence..

I actually just took my G19 and XD9SC out to the range. I honestly love the XD and the more I shoot it, the more I wanna get rid of the Glock for another XD.

To get back to the OP though, I just bought a Don Hume 721OT for my XD subcompact and it holds it tight and up against the body and concealed it too well, IMO. I'm more of an OC'er and the Hume made it a little too snug against the body.

So if you're looking for a close up to the body holster, you're pretty safe with any Don Hume except the J.I.T. slide.

I posted about this a few days ago. I have the XD subcompact .40 cal & have a Don Hume 715 IWB holster. I put it directly on my right hip bone. It pulls the gun tight to the body & is extremely comfortable. I have to check after a while just to make sure it's still there... Nobody has a clue (with shirt untucked)

I CC my SC 40 in an uncle mikes IWB. Its not bad really. But I will try out the Don Hume. Thanks

You did not just quote me out of context and lump me in as a glock guy.

No way did that happen...

No.

I carried an XDM .40 in a crossbreed super tuck for a while. It was very comfortable, and was easy to hide in a t-shirt and jeans. You don't need a jacket.

Here is a thread with photos on different types of CC.

Great post for a newbie! It's very true.. the better the holster and the better the belt, the better it carries. I can toss on a long T with a good belt (Liger) and holster (Rocketman ECP) and it's pretty hard to spot my Glock 17. Heck, even with a not-so-nice Fobus it's still not bad..

Try as best you can for both, but make sure you've got one part of the puzzle in good shape. A good belt can help out a bad holster, and a good holster can help out a bad belt, but if you've got mediocre all the way around, nothing will work well..

To the OP.. Just ghetto tuck that junk Xdm right next to your junk. Upfront and no holster can become pretty comfortable and nobody ever sees it either.

That is not + one for the glock guys either.

Seriously? I like my weenie MUCH more than my gun. It tends to give me more pleasure while using that particular tool over my gun as well.

I think up front by my junk without a holster is the LAST place I'd like my gun to be. I might actually prefer that the enemy has my gun before I place it next to the twig and berries.

Not on point with the thread but I have a G23 and XD40.
I'm just a newbie trying to get along.

It's all about the holster, a proper gun belt and correct placement for your body and feel. People conceal full-size guns all day, it's just about finding what works for you.

I carry a service XD concealed everyday that I don't OC it. It's only 1/2" shorter than the XDm.

I also carried a fullsize HK USP 45 in Florida (where any part of the gun showing is crime) for years. Thats bigger than the XDm IIRC.

Good belt and a good holster make it happen. Prepare to spend 35+ on a belt and another 40+ for a decent holster at a minimum. Do that and you can carry your XDm (open or concealed) ALL DAY LONG comfortably and without adjusting it all the time.

Let alone sit down, lol.

Shock and awe the teachers into hating guns so they brain wash the kids into hating them.
