I am in the process of getting my CCW. I have a XD-40 4" and wonder what CCW rigs you guys have? Do any of you carry something similar and how do you hide it? Show me your rigs please!

 

I carry a Hi Point 9mm in my truck.
Im getting an XD-40 Sub compact next year.

When I carry my 9 I use a Bianchi holster on my side and wear a long shirt. I

 

I've been carrying (legally) for almost 20 years. Tried a bunch of different pieces and rigs. In hot, humid weather, IMO, it's really tough for a private citizen to conceal something as big as the XDs. I've tried everything from a full size 1911, Sig 220, Glock 19, Colt Defender, Springfield V10, Keltech p11. I have finally settled on my all the time carry piece. It's a Keltech .380. I carry it in my right back pocket, muzzle up. I cut a piece of stiff plastic out of a laundry detergent jug. Drop it in my jeans pocket with the little Keltech behind it. No print. Looks like a wallet.

Good luck carrying your XD without looking like some kind of freak with a photographer's vest or some such oddball thing to cover it.

 

Bianchi Carry-Lok pancake
Just look around for pancakes and paddle holsters til you find one you like.

 

This is my worry. I am only 5'9" and 200lbs so its a bit hard to hid a full size on my person in hot weather. I would like to get a compact XD, but that would have to wait till I got out of school.

 

Its all about dressing appropriately to carry.

Or be like Hoss and conceal in a speedo (under a roll?) https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...d.php?t=156504

 

i just have a fobus paddle holster for my full size glock 40 and a behind the back leather one also. i just dont tuck my shirt in, but there is still a prominent bulge where there shouldnt be...please keep the jokes to a minimum

What about the IWB tuckable holsters? Its inside your pants (or speedo, what an image Hoss) and you can tuck your shirt around it.


Dress appropriately? So no more skin tight leather pants?

 

You're in MD and thinking about carrying?

 

Sorry, my bad. I am in VA now. Not the communist state of MD.

 

i am waiting til i move to florida to get mine cause ohio's carry law sucks big time. cant even conceal it, have to be open to the public and cant wear it under a jacket. and you cannot take it inside any building.

 

OK, phew, that's better. I've heard you can't even say the word "g-u-n" in MD.

 

I carry a 1911 year round either in a belt holster or in a shoulder rig in the colder months.

 

Unfortunately for us, more seem to be looking in that direction. I'll stop there before this has to go to the other site.

 

an IWB tuckable holster will need something like a super chief or small framed revolver. not to mention a pair of pants a size too big.
