hi all- search function wasn't working for me. i tried my best to answer my question, but couldn't get specific answer.

i have never participated in open carry, but will be soon. i would like a leather holster, preferably with a thumb break. OH- and i want a belt holster, OWB.


suggestions please? MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I know you said you want a leather holster, but if you're not completely against Kydex I'd strongly recommend the Blackhawk SERPA. I use it with my XD-45 Service and it works great.

Another option in leather is the Bianchi "Lok" series (CarryLok, PaddleLok, or SnapLok):

ETA: Note that this design still uses some form of plastic/kydex for the retention mechanism, however the holster itself is leather.

Have you looked at the Galco Silhuette High Ride holster part# SIL446?

That is my XD-9 Service but I believe mytactical will also fit.

According to the label, it will fit an H&K P30, Springfield XD45 4", XD45 5", XD9/40 3" and an XD9/40 4"

I second this as my friend has this holster for his XD40 and carries it both open and concealed (he is super skinny and can conceal easily.)

As for all leather, I am partial to Galco...

I prefer the Blackhawk Serpa holster, but I made an impulse buy the other day for my XD40 5" Tactical and got the iTAC DEFENSE holster. It pretty much looks like a serpa with the level 2 retention snap. It doesn't look as sturdy as the Serpa but I have been trying to brake it with no luck yet. Here are some pics of it.





And this is the part I dont like is the connecting piece, its seems flimsy but so far I have yet to brake it. And the Sig Saur brand holster are the exact same thing.

That is too cool! A retention holster for the P3AT/LCP... Good find.
