I've been trying to find a good holster for my XD-9 for some time now.
basically i'm looking for a low profile close fitting type of paddle holster. for some reason i find myself preferring a thumb break as well. (i had some issues with a Fobus paddle holster i had bought for another gun of mine coming out along with the gun during draws so i may be a bit unfairly soured on that type of retention)
chances are i'm going to have to get a holster designed specifically for the XD. some of the "multiple model compatible" holsters from Uncle Mikes and Bianchi that according to thier "size chart" would supposedly accomodate the XD would not fit the gun when i tried them. it almost seems that the XD takedown lever widens the weapon enough in comparision to other pistols so that an XD-specific holster is needed.
but i'm actually having some trouble locating exactly what i want.
so far this comes the closest.

i can get that for about 20$ less then MSRP. anyone have any overall opinions on blackhawk holsters in general or on this model in general?
does anyone have any other recommendations??
thanks for any help!
