Available in CrossBreed’s Black Cowhide, Tan Premium Hard Rolled Cowhide and Natural Tan Horsehide, the QwikClip has a MSRP of $66.50.

The second is a slight reverse cant for cross draw applications. The belt slots are 1.75″ and can be used with either 1.5″ or 1.25″ belts.

Like the SnapSlide, the SuperSlide can accommodate guns with Burris, RMR and Docter red dot sights. MSRP: $52.50.
Bravo Concealment’s BCA (Bravo Concealment Adaptive) holster is built for OWB, but can easily be converted to IWB by switching out the belt loops. Features include: solid locking retention; 10 degree cant; 1.5” or 1.75” injection molded belt loops which (as we said) can be replaced with belt clips for IWB; adequate room for a positive grip; and 6061-T6 aluminum construction. MSRP isn’t listed yet.
Designed specifically for IWB carry, the Bravo Concealment DOS (Drop Out-of Sight) is made from 6061-T6 aluminum and offers deep concealment. This comfortable option is touted as being one of the few IWB holsters offering retention, and it conceals “to its fullest potential” when worn on the appendix. Another advantage is that this holster adds minimal mass to your XDE. It’s available in black, FDE and grey. MSRP isn’t listed.
One of the most pressing concerns for new gun owners is undoubtedly buying a holster that can accommodate his or her firearm.
The only problem is that with the amount of choices out there offering concealment and comfort, knowing where to start looking seems like an impossible task. And, if your gun is brand new, you might be under the impression that there’s nothing out there for you yet. You’d be wrong on both counts.
Take the Springfield XDE, for example. This hammer-fired, single-stack, 9mm compact DA/SA pistol was just announced last week, and there are already major holster makers in the industry announcing fits that can accommodate it.
