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.

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.
