XD9 Service in DeSantis SOB holster (and , no, I haven't fallen, cracked my spine, and ended up paralyzed). Most of the time, the muzzle barely even comes close to my spine. No, it does not allow the fastest draw, neither does a shoulder holster. Neither does concealed versus open carry. SOB is still an option, though.
I have had two DeSantis Speed Scabbads for two different Berettas and they are excellent.
I am currently shopping for a paddle for the XD9, though. I did buy a cheap plastic paddle that may have been a fobus or something of that ilk but it does not conceal, sticks way out and now sits in the closet--better than the XD throw-away holster that came with the gun, however.
The only rule is by the highest quality holster one can afford. They conceal better and are more comfortable.
