How to choose the best holster for your Springfield XDM 10mm

Start by making sure the holster is actually built for the Springfield XDM 10mm. That sounds obvious, but a lot of generic fits won’t hold this full-size 10mm tight enough. You want retention that keeps it steady, but not so much it’s a fight to draw. Balance matters. Look for smooth edges so it doesn’t chew through your clothes, and padding or design features that keep it from digging in when you sit or move around. If you carry with a light, or plan to, double-check that the holster supports it. Some do, some really don’t, and guessing wrong means wasted money. Comfort is personal, but construction matters, go for something that feels solid but not stiff. You’ll know when it’s right because you stop thinking about it.

IWB Holsters

Look for adjustable cant so you can tweak the angle until it feels just right. You’ll appreciate that if you sit all day or need a smoother draw. Sweat guards help too, keeps metal off your skin and your shirt cleaner.

OWB Holsters

Just make sure the holster holds tight to your belt and sits close enough to avoid flopping around. Good ones strike that balance between access and control.

Shoulder Holsters

Shoulder carry is all about comfort during long wear, especially if you're walking, driving, or wearing a jacket.

Just take the time to adjust the straps so nothing shifts or prints. If you wear it right, it feels like part of your outfit.

Chest Holsters

For hiking, backcountry work, or riding ATVs, a Springfield XDM 10mm chest holster makes way more sense than hip carry. It keeps your gun centered, easy to reach, and out of the way of backpacks or seat belts. A good one won’t bounce around or pull when you move. Look for wide straps and snug fitment, you want the gun to stay put without feeling strapped in like armor.

Holsters with Light

If you’re running a weapon light, you need a Springfield XDM 10mm holster with light support, no shortcuts. A standard holster won’t fit right and might even damage the light or snag on the draw. Look for custom-molded fits that leave room for common lights like Streamlight or SureFire models. That way, your draw stays clean, and retention still works.

This works great on the belt of my pack for my bear gun it has enough slant so it doesn’t dig into my leg when walking up hill It took a little stretching to get the thumb snap to reach but it fits perfectly now

Nice holster, it was very tight in the beginning, so tight I had to force it in. I then put a freezer bag on it and let it in there for a week. It works fine now.
