Hello all, here is today's article posted on TheArmoryLife.com. It is titled “Top Springfield XD-S Holsters” and can be found at https://www.thearmorylife.com/top-springfield-xd-s-holsters/.
Haven't heard of them. Thanks for the post. Will check out their website.Formerly known as SHTF, now called Black Arch holsters, are my preferred holsters for my XD-S pistols.
I frequently carry IWB, and will only carry a striker-fired pistol without an external safety in a kydex holster. I know that many shooters do not care for grip safeties in general, but the grip safeties on the XD series of pistols are one of my favorite features. I have enough confidence in the XD grip safeties that I'm willing to carry an XD in a leather holster. The Muddy River Tactical IWB holsters that several forum members recommended have become my new favorite. They may not be a recognizable brand name, but Muddy River Tactical offers a tremendous value for the money. If you absolutely need a tuckable holster, they offer one for under $50, but I highly recommend their standard $34.95 leather IWB holster.
I ended up ordering the Tuckable IWB Leather Holster with the optional clip from Muddy River. I'll see how it goes.I frequently carry IWB, and will only carry a striker-fired pistol without an external safety in a kydex holster.
