New XDm .45 5.25"

[dt420]

I just got a XDm .45 and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a holster. I dont really care for the holster it came with, and it seems like it is putting some noticeable scratches on the left side of the slide. Right now I carry a Ruger SR9c in an IWB Minotaur MTAC Holster. I love that holster, but the 5.25" seems like it might be a little more difficult to carry IWB. It would be nice to be able to just buy new Kydex, and just throw that on the holster. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Any suggestions will be helpful, and appreciated. Thanks!

I have a crossbreed supertuk. Similar to your Minotaur but has open bottom. I have the XD 45 with 4" barrel.

Cool, thanks guys. I will check it out.

5.25 is a long pistol for EDC, especially IWB.

The Ruger SR9c is my every day carry. I was just curious if anyone had any holster advice for the 5.25. I really dont care for the holster it came with, and i have no experience with any other holsters besides my Minotaur.

I read a bunch of reviews when I bought it, and they all agreed that this isnt the easiest gun to carry.

I love my MTAC Minotaur for deep concealment of my 4.25" M&P, but most days I carry it OWB in a CompTac paddle. My 5" M&P Pro is too big for IWB in my opinion, and since its a range gun anyway, it's always carried OWB.

I just bought the 4.5, have already noticed the holster options seem fewer compared to 1911s.
