Two of the three other reviews faulted this holster for lack of effective concealment. I chose to believe Galco's claims and bought anyway. It does not meet my needs for concealment but in all other respects is a very good holster.

This is my sixth Galco product, but my first paddle from them. As always, Galco makes a high quality and comfortable holster. Retention is great with an XD .45 service and Witness Elite Match. The previous reviewer must be sincerely confused, as this holster is fantastic at doing what it was designed to do. Nowhere in the description does it say this is for concealed carry. Who uses a paddle for concealment anyways? Buy with confidence, just don't buy a truck and expect a sports car.

The old saying, "you get what you pay for" rings true with this product. While the holster will hold my XD Sub-compact, it does not hold it closely to my body. The top leans away from my body and prints (is not concealed under my shirt). If someone just wanted a holster, this would work... however, this is not a holster that anyone could use for concealed carry. Optics Planet provided excellent communication throughout the transaction along with super fast shipping. I highly recommend doing business with OP, but cannot recomment the purchase of this holster.

This is a nice comfortable holster, but sticks out too much to conceal. It may work different foe other people, but I'm a fairly thin guy and can't conceal this under a sweatshirt.
