![]() ![]() The suede layer is on the inside for comfort but also provides stability from friction. This design features a large back panel constructed of suede, neoprene, and oil-tanned leather. 40 was inside the waistband using an N82 Tactical Original holster. My most common carry scenario for the XD-S. Note the high positioning of the gun relative to the beltline. The CrossBreed SnapSlide is a great option for OWB carry. The feel is almost entirely grit-free, and the pressure up to the break point is smooth. The trigger broke every time right at 7 ½ pounds of pressure. 40 had almost exactly ¼” of take-up with 2 ½ pounds of pressure followed by a constant pressure break sequence. 40 caliber includes a short, single-slot Picatinny rail up front in case you want to attach a light, laser, or bayonet if you’re feeling particularly Rambo-like. Using a lighter and sharp knife, you can remove the installed red tube and replace it with green if you like. By the way, it’s easy to swap out the fiber optic tube. The notch in the rear sight is flanked by two white dots. The fiber optic tube up front jumps into view with little if any distraction from the low-profile combat rear sight. The barrel is 3.3 inches long, and sight radius is 5.5 inches. We’ll get into some of the carry methods I tested with this gun in a minute. The slim profile makes it a great pocket gun.

The slide lock lever is on the left side only, but that’s an administrative control so no matter. The magazine release buttons are fully ambidextrous, meaning there’s already one on each side – you don’t have to reverse it if you’re left-handed. ![]()
