Anyone own a XD-40 Subcompact? What do you think of it? Easy to conceal?

I have an XD9SC, essentially the same size to conceal, and it is easy with a good holster
I use a Crossbreed holster and crossbreed belt, and I walk around with a T-shirt over my gun all the time and its easy.
I am not talking about a super extra large, just a normal size Tshirt for me.
Also can wear it with a golf shirt or dress shirt tucked in.

Great gun to have!

Had one for a while. Great gun. Extremely reliable and conceals well.

I carry my Glock 26 (with a Glock 17 Mag) and I just got an XD-45 full sized, and I use a Comp-Tac belt with Velcro sewn in and conceal just fine, without any clips showing on my belt, with V-clips on any hybrid holster or with a Desantis Tuck This 2 that I added Velcro to. So the Subcompact XD40 should work just fine, easier than my XD45, tucked or untucked ASSUMING you use the proper shirts. (Long/Tall and blouse it a bit at the belt.)

I pick up one about 2 weeks ago and love it. Still new to CHL but haven't had any issues with concealing it.

Found out that using a belt design for carrying really made a difference.

Have had one for 2 years. Never a problem. Easy to conceal. You can't go wrong, and teamless is correct when he says a shirt and iwb conceals this gun.

Same size as the XD9SC I'm carrying right now with two 16 round mags in a 5.11 holster undershirt under my dress shirt on the way to church this morning. Carries great in my Comptac Minotar. No problems. :thumbs2:

Same here. Mom carries the XD9sc & she loves it. So does every lady that tries it.
