Considerations & Trade-offs
- Appendix carry places the holster up front, so it may not suit users who prefer strong-side or other carry positions.
- The holster is tuned for Springfield XD-S 3.3" fitment, so compatibility is limited to the specified handgun and barrel length.
- Cant and ride height are adjustable, but dialing in the right setup may take some trial and error.
- Designed for belts 1.5" to 1.75" wide, so it may not work as intended with narrower or wider belts.
