I'm looking to buy a police duty holster for a 5" Springfield XD .45 -- preferably in black nylon, but I'm open for alternates. I've scoured the internet websites, but haven't come across anything that looks good to me yet. Any suggestions?
Well...the problem is most LEO style leather is for rather established guns....while the XD is getting there.....the 5" model and 45 are both new. So...either find a custom maker who can help you out with your dept's leather criteria or just wait.............Sorry.
shoot well and god bless
To answer my own question, I found a really nice looking XD duty holster -- Safariland 6280. They make this model for both the Service and Tactical XD models in nylon, basket weave, and both high gloss and flat black leathers.
Here is a link for a fobus holster however I don't know how open you are to fobus holsters. http://www.tacticaljunkie.com/xcat4.asp?cat=28&scat=3&mcat=
let me know if this intersts you and I will see if I can get a .45 one from fobus if needed. I know the .45 is new but I don't see why they would not have it available.
Also I will check to see if anything is available in a non molded holster
