Impressed by FIST

I just received a FIST #8 Close Cropped Shortcut for my XD 9 subcompact and am really impressed. I got the open bottom short model so that it would also fit my service lenght XD's (which it does very well). They say that it should take 3-5 weeks for shipping and I received mine in 3 weeks and 2 days. Very impressive for such a quality holster. The holster is also very well made and uses very nice leather. For $45, it is the best holster deal that I have ever come across. It fits perfectly and rides very close to the body for concealment. If you want a custom holster without the wait and high price, I would highly recommend FIST.

+1 ! I have four Fist IWB 1A hybrid holsters for different carry guns of mine. Absolutely top notch, and great service too. The hybrids are kydex inside and leather outside, and can me made for any of their models. Plus, instead of your choice of just black or brown for their leather, they have eight different colors available. They will also do plain kydex too. First rate all the way, highly recommended

I've got 2 fists and they both took 7 weeks almost to the day. I'm going to call them and ask why you got yours in half the time. I just past 4 weeks on my other holster I ordered from them.
I love their holsters and even at 7 weeks , it's not bad compared to alot of the other makers. My favorite is my Basic Holster OWB for my 642.

I have a Fist pocket holster for my XD 9mm subbie. It is good for my parka in the winter walking the dog. It has a little plastic push thingy to help unholstering that is interesting but it works.
