Title: Shoulder Holster Suggestions for 4" XD .45?
Post by: pianoman9701 on January 02, 2013, 02:00:37 PM: Let me have 'em. I want a shoulder holster. I've already got a summer carry Galco that I like. But I want something under my jacket for the winter-time.

Nice thing about them is they are gun specific and they have one for the XD 4" also the double clip holder helps balance the rig too. :twocents:

It appears they don't have a model for the SA .45 in any size.

Wouldn't the XD 9/40 4" be the same for the 45? is the outside of the gun that much different for 45?

Remember once you decide on a holster, check Amazon (especially if you have a Prime account) Amazon has some good prices on the holsters they sell.
