Holster for Springfield XD

[WestonSmith]

I am looking into getting a holster for a Springfield XD-9. What is a good holster for concealed carry? What conceals well, but can be used quickly? What protects the trigger guard area well?

I am planning on carrying chambered and cocked. I was looking at some nice leather holsters. Do the leather covers protect the trigger guard area well enough that you can carry chambered and cocked and even if you were to pull out the holster and squeeze the trigger guard cover would it still be quite safe?

for concealed carry and my xd's i use either, a galco shoulder holster, or a www.grandfatheroak. iwb holster that works really well. it is thin but sturdy as hell, coveres the trigger guard, takes nothing to draw from. also check out don hume and the other big time makers they all have something that would fit your requirements. safariland, galco, sorry this isn't my computer i get on my favorites, or i would give you links to all the sights i have.

I've got a custom leather holster on order from KC Custom Leather in
Springville, AL for my Springfield XD .45ACP(F) 4" service model; but
his delivery time is oh soooooooo slow~!

You're in luck!!! I've already researched the same thing. Links are below! I like Milt Sparks. The Versa Max 2. They're about $100 and have about 20 week wait. But well worth it in my opinion. I bought a BladeTech IWB (they're in stock at BladeTech.com by the way) to tide me over until I get the VersaMax. I have the VMII for a Glock 21 and it works well. Very comfy and very concealable. If it'll hide a 21, I have no doubts about the XD. So, see if this will keep you busy for a while! All these are the links to the makers' IWB holsters.
