Before I have to deal with all sorts of stupid responses to it being .45 GAP in the first place, I like the ballistics of .45 and I like the XD system. However, the ACP grip is to large for my small hands. When I was in the service, I had issues with having to break my grip on the M9 to flick the safety off, or using my off hand, which isn't always available. But on the the actual question.
I purchased the SA XD .45 GAP, but didn't get their "whole she-bang" package. I got the SA XD paddle holster but this still grips the slightly wider frame a little tight for draw. It also rides way away from my body like most women choose to.
In reading up on the internet I heard that the slide width on the .45GAP is very nearly the same as .40 ones. But I also read that all the slides are the same width...so I dunno. Very few holster makers offer something for the XD .45GAP (but I see an abundance of ACP...sigh). I would like something that rides tight, draws smooth (the serpa holster with my M9 worked great in Iraq), and sits either in the small of my back (IE the "check six" holster from blackhawk) or is adjustable. I would prefer Galco to make something specifically like this just for me but alas, I have a budget too.
Anyone know any quality holsters that right tight and has smooth draw for the Springfield Armory XD .45GAP 4 in?
