Did you try a bunch of holsters until you found one or did someone recommend one and it just happened to feel great? I definitely want IWB and a sturdy belt is a must.
The interesting part of CCW is the things you don't think about, like a single loop IWB hangs precariously when you have to take a dump. I started with a leather IWB with a single loop and quickly found that it moved around. I then got a double loop IWB made of Kydex but one of the clips/loops was bigger than the other so it pushed out/showed. I then ended up with a Comp-Tac C-Tac or M-Tac not sure off the top of my head. If I had to do it again I would get either their Minotaur or a Cross Breed (someone on the board said they wear one while changing the oil, moxing the yard etc. and to me that is what you want something that you can do anything in). It has the kydex holster but the leather back so it is more comofortable than plastic on you.

does the Kydex not eat up the finish on the firearm from rubbing?Originally posted by Sean88gtYou can take white off the list.

OP you should shoot them side by side. I wanted a glock really bad (still love them), but cancelled my g27 order through GT after I rented some guns. the glock felt better in my hands but I was more comfortable and accurate shooting the xds 45 (pre recall). I bought the SA on the following week. After carrying the xds for almost a year I am looking for a bobbed airweight.

Originally posted by Gtracer View PostI actually thought about it last night and figured, that I can, it would probably be cheaper overall (dies, primers, brass VS. Factory ammo all the time) but then, how much am I shooting it.
How often do you go to the range with your CCW and shoot? I am not LEO/Mil so this is a factor. I assume maybe no more than once a month.
Edit: the only cost savings over chosing .40 is I already have the dies, granted they will have to be adjusted quite a bit to accomodate .40, it can be done.
Any other caliber would require small pistol primers, bullets and dies. Another note is that the .401 bullets I do load in my 10mm are 180/200gr bullets, those would be a bit too much for a .40
Ah, decisions, decisions, decisions....2012 GT500

Thinking I am going to handle the XDS .40, .45 and the G29
I have no way of shooting those three at the same time next to each other so I will have to go off input and physical feeling.Originally posted by Sean88gtYou can take white off the list.

Originally posted by TeeShock View PostIt's not too heavy, but the corners are noticeable in my clothing. I bought it as a pocket pistol, but its a little more than a pocket pistol even with the nemesis holster. It works great in cargo pockets and appendix carry, but Im not comfortable with a cocked gun pointing at my body so I haul it empty. I don't see the benefit of having to rack the slide in a defense situation so I'm looking for an airweight with a hip clip.Originally posted by Sean88gtYou can take white off the list.
