Sticky Holsters Concealment Holsters for Men and Women - MD-2 Medium - Fits Small 9mm's and Similar - for Left and Right-Hand Draw; IWB and Pocket Carry

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!!

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.

Purchased this holster for my S&W Shield .40. I was a bit skeptical when reading about this clipless concealed holster, but am pleasantly surprised by the results after using it. First, the holster fits the gun perfectly. Second, because it doesn't have a belt clip, you can carry the holster in any position you want. I've used this holster walking, sitting, driving, jumping, running, etc and have had zero problems with it moving. It's very comfortable covers the gun enough that it's not exposed all that much to my body. I wear it between my waistband and an undershirt, so that prevents the need for a sweatguard like some other holsters have.Now for some real talk: The only time that I do have an issue with not having a belt clip is when I'm relieving myself. Because this holster relies on being held up by your waistband, when you loosen the waistband, there's nothing to hold it. This isn't that big of a deal, but when you're out in public you have to use a closed stall if you require unbuttoning your drawers. That's certainly not a deal breaker for me.
