I am tall, but not skinny and I carry a XDM 9mm 3.8" barrel with the full sized frame in this holster in my appendix area comfortably

Absolutely! I'm the same height as you only a few more pounds and the holster fits like a dream. The extra mag pouches help balance it out to where you don't even know you have it on. I couldn't have been happier for the purchase of this quality shoulder holster. Get it!....Best to you Brian

Opinion from a police officer.I completely disagree with the majority of these replies. My main carry was a XD 45 ACP, a significantly larger double stack weapon. I just bought a 9mm Shield. It fits perfectly in my 45 holster, but is a little loose. Just keep in mind, although the Shield is single stack, it can fit just fine in a holster designed for a larger weapon. Just not the other way around. Expect the fit to be slightly loose. As some mentioned, you can increase the tightening screws. I would also consider making your own mods such as soft velcro on the inside to increase tension against the weapon. If you don't run around and hang upside down with your carry, you should be alright. Opinion from a police officer.I completely disagree with the majority of these replies.

Good morning G. Harris. I think the Shield may be a bit thin for the size 12 holster that we purchased for our XD Sub-Compacts. The M&P; 9/40 may be just right though.

almost certainly not. this holster is built for double-stack guns like the xdm, the xds will not be wide enough. I'm sure you could find a different model of king tuk to fit it exactly, don't compromise on safety equipment.

It won't be enough for a big man, I think. I am a little skinny, and the width was just okay to me. Anyway, for a big man, it probably gives a feeling of being stuck.

The medium is quite large. My Xdm 4.5 fits with room left over. The small is great for a pocket pistol but the medium is big. If it were me, I'd get the medium.

My husband and I are of regular size. We are not under nor over weight. If your clothing is of the correct size You will be fine. I carry a 380 and I am fine. Husband carries a Glock26 and if you are looking hard maybe, with shirt out.

My wife is short. Kinda less than 5 feet. I made her carry this bag a few times and didn't find it odd. I think it's perfect.

I think a 1911 will fit fine. I carry a XDM 4.5 inch in mine. Now the holster pocket is really just that a formed pocket.

I tried my XD Sub Compact 3.8 in the Fox XDS holster and the double stack XD was to wide to fit and the trigger guard extends out to far so no, it will not fit! Sorry to say!

Hi! I too am "un-petite", a 44 or so belt and I personally find it depends on where exactly you are measuring your waist and how marsupial like you might hang over the waist. That being said I can fully extend the length of the buckles and the belt is still loose. I can tell you I have travelled frequently with the bag and like it more and more. I recently bought a Vanguard 100 series carbon fiber tripod and ball head and the legs strap on easily and I'm not nailing people with it when I turn around while moving through airports. One thing I did notice about the bag is I have to be careful of the straps when the bag goes through X ray machine, they can get snagged on the rollers. I'm thrilled with the Flipside even more now that I'm using it more, very ergonomic and comfortable. With the Amazon return policy my advice is get one and see how you like it. Good luck.

Yes, I carry the XDS and it fit nicely into the holster. I did not have any issues with the holster sliding down as some users had commented. The vertical leg strap can be adjusted to be shorter or longer just by moving it up on down on the Velcro. It also helps if you have calves to prevent in from sliding ;-)

Truthfully, I don't know. However, there are Sneaky Pete holsters for most common sub-compacts and I would guess that includes the XD. The holster for my XDS fits perfectly and is hard not to like. I'd recommend you visit their website (sneakypeteholsters.com) to confirm. Hope this helps.

TOM: I purchased one for my super ultra carry HD which has same dimensions . I found it to be a tight fit plus to bulky for me use it only to store gun now.

I'm not tall and thin like most of the reviews for this product. I'm 5'11 and 255. Would this work for me? Man boobs, big gut and all? I want to carry my smallest gun (Springfield XDs) when I'm in the office and I've been looking for something like this to wear under a tucked in dress shirt and tie with no jacket.

I got this holster for deep concealment of a PT709 Slim [subcompact]. The pocket of this holster literally swallowed up my little gun. Not sure how your XDS compares, but I think it is a small gun as well. I have an Uncle Mike soft IWB holster that I insert into the big pouch of this holster and it holds it at the right angle and height for a safe draw. Otherwise, grabbing the grip on the gun is very difficult. Hope this helps. Best of luck.
