Anybody have a recommendation for OWB holster for a Springfield XD-40 4"? I've been carrying IWB but would also like to find a good OWB holster. You see, I've been gaining weight of late and my pants are getting a bit too snug with the IWB....

...Don Hume...online catalog...reasonable prices and quick delivery...quality since the 70s...

"pancake" style conceals best - belt loops thru holster at both ends (left and right), pulling it tight against body.

Leather - any of the law enforcement type brands make good OWB pancake style holsters - Bianchi, Galco, Blackhawk, with Gould and Goodrich possibly offering best bang for the buck

Kydex or hybrid - Raven Concealment Systems gets good reviews, as does Bladetech - and Comp Tac has one similar to the M-TAC Minotaur IWB design but with button snap leather belt loops meant to be worn OWB pancake style

I am exclusively OWB or shoulder.
Kydex choice is Raven Concealment as AR stated above. Pretty long lead time for kydex.
Leather - Production line quality Don Hume or US Galco.

Custom build. Tucker or Milt Sparks. These 2 have a LONG lead time.

There are a couple of makers on that board here that are really good but I have not needed a holster in a WHILE.

I think if you check out Tex45 and his in stock list there is a couple of really nice XD 4" holsters he has. I have some of his holsters, really nice ones.

I just ordered a Bianchi 57 Remedy from Amazon for my M&P. Here's one from Amazon that's in stock - 58 bucks.

Kaluban Cloak makes a good alternative to Raven with almost no wait time. Their website is a bit lacking but I really like their holsters.

Raven Concealment is the best holster I have owned. I have not worn any of my drawer full of holsters since I bought it.

check out "Comp-tac"

I like the Masters Leather pancake holster.

Check out Kramer Leather's MSP. It's the best holster I own.

I've also had real good luck with the Galco Concealable Belt Holster.

These are a bit pricey, but because of the design they are the most comfortable of the OWB holsters I own.

Also I own a couple of Mitch Rosen "Express Line" holsters (http://www.mitchrosen.com/product_line/ ... _line.html). These are more modestly priced than the Galco, but are very ruggedly built. The big advantage of the Epress Line is that they are not made to order......rather all models are kept in stock. I bought three of them from the Kahr website to fit the three different Kahrs we own. Two of those holsters were for left-handed shooters, and they still had them in stock. They were all the 5JR EXP model.

I'll second Kramer. I have one of their belt scabbards in horse hide my wife bought me for Christmas over 10 years ago. It has held up to many years of year as I didn't move to IWB holsters until May of 2011.
