I just got my plastic today and I have an Uncle Mike's IWB holster that is pure garbage. Can anyone recommend a good IWB holster? Also, I'm curious about any info on a good shoulder rig. Horizontal or Vertical? I'm 6'2 and 170lbs sopping wet so it may be hard to conceal with a shoulder holster. Thanks for any help.

Spend the money, go with Crossbreed or Comp-Tac for a good Horsehide / Kydex holster (spend the cash for the horsehide - about $15 more, but well worth it)

I haven't tried these yet but a lot of folks say they are really good and only $50 shipped. Similar to a Crossbreed. Made by a guy Kurtis (shieldedholsters@hotmail.com). From another board I read, he's made lots of these and I haven't seen any complaints yet. His turnaround time is very quick too. Read more on this thread:

Note how he also cut slots so you could wear it OWB or IWB. The 2nd photo also has a "barbed wire" design around it. Other photos show some in natural leather besides the black and he apparently does mag holders too.

Quahog, wow, nice find.
If (or when LOL) i get a new carry weapon, for $50, I will give them a try, for certain!
(I am only responding here, so this goes into my "view your posts" so I can look it up later LOL

Agree with Teamless. I have several of the Mtac's and wear them with tucked shirts. The horsehide on the inside in the summer is GOOD. You might have to get a larger size shirt so it covers better. But after several years of using them, I have no complaints, just good things to say about them. Mtac is made in Texas.

Thanks Quahog for that link. I knew I had seen that ad for his holsters, but couldn't remember the forum. Thinking about getting one.

Yep, I agree with Crossbreed Supertuck. I got mine 2 days ago and it is the most comfortable IWB holster I have ever used and gives you the option to tuck or not. I highly recommend it and it took 3.5 weeks to get. Well worth the wait.

In a few days, I am going to order one for my XDm... looks enough like a Crossbreed that I bet it's plenty comfy.

What he said. Mine is the Minotaur MTAC from Comp-Tac.

have to add my vote for the crossbreed. I've been packing an xdm 45 for 2 months now. It has conformed to my body at 3:30 position so well that it feels like part of me. I wear a tee shirt w/suspenders to carry the weight w/xlg cover shirt. The only person who has spotted me is a lady I'm currently dating. (she might be a keeper?) I was so impressed w/crossbreed that I bought one for my left side & have worn it in addition to the right side long enough to break it in. I've got arthritis & thought it might be a plus to have backup. 2 xd-45's are heavy, but not more than I can handle. You've got 2 choices: lose weight or buy bigger pants!

Or get a 1911

Another agreement here. I carried an XDm 40 in a Comp-Tac Minotaur for 6-7 months and then swapped that out for the XDm 45 last week (same holster). I wear it all the time and even keep the holster in place when I have to disarm (the kydex squeaks on the leather sometimes though). I'll probably try a Crossbreed or maybe a Tucker on the next carry weapon that needs a holster.

I carry my XDm in a horsehide Crossbreed and love it... Christian run business too..

Tucker's Silent Thunder.

I’d run something that has at least two hooks for the belt. It better distributes weight evenly, IMO. (ex. Crossbreed, tucker, MTAC)
