The 5" was just a little too long to comfortably draw from strong side. <br />The XD was a very pleasant surprise; I am less than enamored of Glocks (carried a couple as issue for brief periods) and again, bought the XD's out of consideration for my left-handed Bride. <br />The "shoot the moon" system of clips and the spring-steel holders really makes the clip-fed revolver a favorite.Boat Guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764012408379457724.post-80724627733562251992010-04-12T15:46:01.760-04:002010-04-12T15:46:01.760-04:00I've never tried the Springfield XD, have hear...I've never tried the Springfield XD, have heard a lot of good things though. <br /><br />As for N frames, I do have one cross draw but never really got used to it. So never used it much. I have a much longer story coming up about carrying S&W N frames as soon as I get around to taking some good photos...Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10258825059275756221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764012408379457724.post-86070346542404313482010-04-12T14:20:49.991-04:002010-04-12T14:20:49.991-04:00I carry whenever, wherever legal, which is to say ...I carry whenever, wherever legal, which is to say not at work (Fed property ya know). I've been carrying a 4" XD in .45 most of the time. I always have a reload magazine for a self-loader. <br />Revolvers, N-frame .45's for the most part, are most often carried crossdraw both for comfort and to remind myself I'm using a different "system". Reloads for the revolvers are usually two moon-clips in spring-steel holders just behind the holster.<br />Holsters; Milt Sparks, El Paso Saddlery and some old Bianchi Cyclones for the wheelguns.<br />Ammo is currently Federal EFMJ.<br />When I was carrying for work I was required to use a SIG 226 and issue ammo was Hydra Shoks. My "dress up" (for suits) rig was made by Mike Meredith at Pocket Concealment.Boat Guynoreply@blogger.com
