New carry rig- great price!

Kudos to Don Hume. I just needed an inexpensive concealment holster for my XDsc. Yeah, I'd sure like one of Rocky's PKs, but living on SS doesn't allow it.
I have heard nothing but good about Hume so thought I'd check them out. Went to the website and found the 715 on SALE for $21. Ordered on Thursday night and it was in my mailbox on Monday! Great service.
H715-M W.C. BROWN RIGHT HAND [H715-M] - $20.51 : Don Hume Leathergoods, manufactures high quality leather and nylon goods.
Great fit and finish, really a better holster than I thought I would get. I'm using the appendix carry and it disappears, is comfortable all day. Next will be the 721.

I stumbled upon this site somehow and have been reading lots of threads but hadn't bothered to register for an account until I saw your post Censored. Just wanted to say that I have been carrying this same rig (LH, IWB, appendix) for the past few months. I have found the appendix carry to be the most comfortable overall although I might get another one of these in the opposite hand configuration for small of back carry since the grip is flipped in that position. The issue I have with appendix carry is that I've got a belly, not huge but protruding nonetheless. On the XDsc I have found that the squared slide and hard sights tend to dig in when I'm in a sitting/driving position and I can't always find a comfortable position for it. I know the solution is to do something about the belly but the wife's cooking is just so damn good. Not sure if you've noticed this or have this same issue. Just thought I'd mention it in hopes that you might know a solution.

Welcome SentryOne!

I carry an XD9sc in a Crossbreed Supertuck which has a genereous piece of leather between me and the gun, very confortable.

Censored, congrats on the new holster!

For the most comfort, I would recommend that as you get into car take pistol out and depending on what your seat system is put a kydex holster wedged between seat and have it positioned to get to while seated. As you exit or before opening door lean forward reshoe and exit vehicle. Why be uncomfortable having a pistol poke on you while driving. Furthurmore when you are seat belted in and sitting down I think you would be very limited in trying to draw your weapon.

I'm not trying to be a smartA**, just food for thought.

Only YOU can decide what works for you...not a bad looking holster.
Congrats!

Good for you! I wore my Don Hume holster appendix style this past Friday with the G23.

That's a good suggestion. I've slipped either the whole rig or the piece itself into a storage compartment that's pretty accessible but I think I now have a use for the original XDGear holster if I can come up with a way to securely mount it for accessibility. Thanks SR

Glad you found something that works for you. I have a couple of Don Hume holsters and they are an excellent off the shelf holster for the price...
