MD-2

Great holster and it is as close to a perfect fit as you can get for the Springfield XDS 3.3" 9MM. I was a little skeptical at first about this holster as it doesn't use a clip and relies on compression from a belt or the surrounding of your pocket to stay in place when drawing your weapon. Now I do feel confident in its holstering ability IWB (it is also comfortable too), but I must say that its ability to draw out of a pocket effectively depends greatly on several factors: the material of your clothing, compression of the pocket, etc. Pocket holstering is going to be a variable experience depending on your particular application. I don't think this should take away from the rating of the holster because ideally, you should be wearing what is appropriate around the gun and not fitting the gun and a particular holster to what you normally wear. With that being said, the materials are of very high quality. The holster of course has a rubbery feel to it and there is no doubt that it is more prone to getting caught and staying in place instead of sliding out of place. The inside looks to be the same material as the lining of the holster which is fine by me; I have no worries that my gun is going to be scratched up or anything. The stitching is on point. I see nothing that could even consider coming apart or loose. My only gripe about the holster really is after I've pocket holstered my SA XDS for about a couple weeks, I've noticed that the edge of the holster (where the end of the barrel/slide/sight is) is scrunched in somewhat. More than likely i'm just being a little nitpicky and this has no impact on function, but it does bother me somewhat. Also, during the first days of me using it as a pocket holster for my XDS, I did notice a very small portion of the trigger guard was exposed. To me even a little bit is a no-no, but after a couple days, the holster did "break in" and conform to the gun extremely well. Now my XDS sits perfectly fine inside the holster and the fitment could not be any better. Overall, I do recommend this holster for this gun, IWB, and some pocket carry depending on your particular application. EDIT: I now use this for my S&W Shield 9mm and it is also a great fit!!

I spent a lot of money on a really good kydex IWB holster but I hardly ever use it because unless I’m wearing a belt it was useless. Gym shorts, drawstring, sweatpants way too heavy to work with any of them even with just a P365. So, I had this thing a try and it works like a charm. First it’s really comfortable for appendix carry. I was worried I wouldn’t feel like it was secure, but it stays in place great. Second, I have no idea how it works but it sticks to your body, but it isn’t sticky. It’s soft to the touch. Highly recommend.

I have one of every size to fit every defensive tool in my collection. I have many holsters of many styles, but these are my favorite. They are a soft material that protects the finish on your tool. They are very comfortable for inside the waistband carry. Whatever the outside material is, it is remarkable how well it stays in place. You would think it would want to ride up or slip down, but it does very well staying in place. They are well made and have proven to be durable in real world use. I have had some of mine for a couple of years and they have held up very well. I keep my EDC in one all the time. When I go out, I just grab it from my lock box, slip it in the waist band, and away I go. I have many makes and types to choose from (Kydex, Shoulder, IWB, OWB, Hybrid) depending on the schedule for the day, but, this is my go-to most times. You can successfully wear these with shorts, sweats, etc., where you don't have a belt available to support some other type. These are much more versatile than rigid holsters which are molded to a specific make and model. Many makes and models of similar frame size and length will fit.

Bought this particular holster for my wife and her S&W Shield, since she rarely wears clothing that would accept a traditional belt holster with loops or clips. Sticky holsters are quick and easy. Not the best holster out there, but still considerably better than any of the cheap nylon "uncle mikes" type IWB. Overall, the Sticky offers good enough retention that I don't have to worry about the pistol falling out to the ground. Nor do I have to worry about the holster coming out of the waistband while drawing. It stays behind where it should while drawing. But it does tend to shift around on my waist quite a bit more than a more traditional holster with a belt clip or loop. That much should be obvious, especially if you sit down and stand up a lot while wearing it. If I really want consistent, sturdy carry, I use a Crossbreed. For quick and easy appendix carry, I'll use a Sticky. The Sticky also works great for holding a pistol somewhere inside a car, such as sandwiched in between the driver's seat and the center console, or in the pocket of a door. The exterior fabric resists slipping around against seat fabric, etc.

This by far is the best IWB holster I have ever worn and I have had many and tried many others. I wear my G43 in an appendix carry position. Because of the outer material, this holster stays in place between the waist line of the pants and bare skin of my stomach. I have worn it between a tucked in T-shirt and pants while wearing a button down shirt with no problems. I have no printing of the handgun or holster at all, of course I do take care to wear the right type of shirts and patterns to help on the concealment (I don't go out of my way to wear the next size up shirts either.) There is no movement at all when walking around. Depending upon your body type (I'm 5'6' 157lb slim build), it may pinch into your stomach when sitting or bending over (I do notice it when bending over but it is not uncomfortable). I don't notice it while sitting at all. What's really nice is that you can move it into the cross draw position when driving without having to take off your belt or make any other adjustments. I have never run with it because of my knees, but my son says he has worn it with a good pair of sweat pants and had no problems with it. I have no problems drawing from the appendix carry. The holster stays in place when presenting the handgun. I have tried carrying it in my back pocket of my jeans and have had no problems, though you have to wear a longer shirt or jacket, but i bought this mainly to wear it as an IWB appendix carry only. I would recommend this holster to anyone. I first came across this holster through one of my former LE partners.

Using this with my Swith and Wesson Shield 9mm. Ordered because the INCOG holster (probably best on the market) is about a 6-8 lead time before you get it. That being said, this holster will still have a place in the rotation when the INCOG arrives. I've had it for about a month and have used it in several different scenarios. I had it tucked at the 4 o'clock position in jeans all day at a theme park, and I also frequently wear it as an appendix carry holster. Both are very comfortable. At the 4 you barely feel it and appendix is decent because its soft and bendable, so it doesn't dig into your front hip as bad a kydex holster when sitting down. I also like that I can stuff it in gym shorts, something that most holsters, including the INCOG don't work very well at. I usually wear an atheletic type of UA Boxer Jock underwear and those have enough purchase to hold it in place. Add in a drawstring from your shorts, and it isn't moving....especially at the appendix position. The height position has a little play but you obviously need enough of the holster to "stick" in the right spot to stay put. I've found that the draw is still effective even when at a very concealed depth. I live in a warm weather climate so light t-shirts and shorts are usually the only thing covering my gun. For reference, I'm a 10 year concealed carrier and tactical team firearms instructor. There is no ONE holster that is perfect for every type of carry....you should have a couple you're familiar and comfortable with. This and my (future) INCOG will be those two for me.

Highly recommended this holster does not slip

Not a huge fan of most holsters. For a fit guy who doesn't like to wear really baggy shirts or pants, I've struggle finding something that didn't print in a way that made me uncomfortable carrying in some situations. I also wanted something lighter weight that I could easily tuck into gym shorts or sweats if I needed to walk the the dog or run out quickly to the store. This fit the bill perfectly. I'll admit, I was nervous at first carrying this holster without a clip or strap to fasten it to a belt. However, this sucker doesn't move. The slight pressure applied by a waistband is enough to glue it to your body and you don't have to worry about it falling out or moving during activity. I liked the padded feel over kydex as well when carrying appendix style. I found that the MD-2 was a little on the small side for my 9mm S&W Shield but after a few days of sitting in the holster it stretched out enough to fit where it needed to be. This thing can get hot in the summer months and sweat does tend to pool around the neoprene like fabric. I've purchased an additional holster for another handgun and plan on one more in the future for a full-sized pistol.
