Great holster and it is as close to a perfect fit as you can get for the Springfield XDS 3.3" 9MM. I was a little skeptical at first about this holster as it doesn't use a clip and relies on compression from a belt or the surrounding of your pocket to stay in place when drawing your weapon. Now I do feel confident in its holstering ability IWB (it is also comfortable too), but I must say that its ability to draw out of a pocket effectively depends greatly on several factors: the material of your clothing, compression of the pocket, etc. Pocket holstering is going to be a variable experience depending on your particular application. I don't think this should take away from the rating of the holster because ideally, you should be wearing what is appropriate around the gun and not fitting the gun and a particular holster to what you normally wear. With that being said, the materials are of very high quality. The holster of course has a rubbery feel to it and there is no doubt that it is more prone to getting caught and staying in place instead of sliding out of place. The inside looks to be the same material as the lining of the holster which is fine by me; I have no worries that my gun is going to be scratched up or anything. The stitching is on point. I see nothing that could even consider coming apart or loose. My only gripe about the holster really is after I've pocket holstered my SA XDS for about a couple weeks, I've noticed that the edge of the holster (where the end of the barrel/slide/sight is) is scrunched in somewhat. More than likely i'm just being a little nitpicky and this has no impact on function, but it does bother me somewhat. Also, during the first days of me using it as a pocket holster for my XDS, I did notice a very small portion of the trigger guard was exposed. To me even a little bit is a no-no, but after a couple days, the holster did "break in" and conform to the gun extremely well. Now my XDS sits perfectly fine inside the holster and the fitment could not be any better. Overall, I do recommend this holster for this gun, IWB, and some pocket carry depending on your particular application. EDIT: I now use this for my S&W Shield 9mm and it is also a great fit!!

I have one of every size to fit every defensive tool in my collection. I have many holsters of many styles, but these are my favorite. They are a soft material that protects the finish on your tool. They are very comfortable for inside the waistband carry. Whatever the outside material is, it is remarkable how well it stays in place. You would think it would want to ride up or slip down, but it does very well staying in place. They are well made and have proven to be durable in real world use. I have had some of mine for a couple of years and they have held up very well. I keep my EDC in one all the time. When I go out, I just grab it from my lock box, slip it in the waist band, and away I go. I have many makes and types to choose from (Kydex, Shoulder, IWB, OWB, Hybrid) depending on the schedule for the day, but, this is my go-to most times. You can successfully wear these with shorts, sweats, etc., where you don't have a belt available to support some other type. These are much more versatile than rigid holsters which are molded to a specific make and model. Many makes and models of similar frame size and length will fit.

This fits well and stays sticky.

My wife bought this, and is actually writing this review in 3rd person. :) It works for her most of the time using jeans and some dress pants. Really needs a belt to keep it from moving around too much, or just really tight pants. It does conceal the shape of the gun well and disappears under most tee-shirts. It has worked with a few of her workout pants, but only conceals well in the 6 o'clock position, which she doesn't prefer. 80% of the time she carries appendix or at 8 c'clock (she shoots left-handed). Not a good fit for dress clothes, so she is still looking for a good solution there. She does find it is more comfortable to wear a cami under the gun and the holster, as it sticks to her body too much and rams her in the ribs when bending over. She carries a Springfield XDS 3.3, so the size of the gun is a factor there as well as the height of the pant waste. Lower waisted pants poke less, but do sometimes let the gun be pushed up while seated do to her leg pushing up on the barrel. If she moves it to more of a 11:30 it helps, but she needs to push over her belt buckle to the opposite side to even out the bump from the print. All in all it is a versatile holster, and it has allowed her to figure out where she likes to carry due to its flexibility in position. However, she will likely by something that attaches to her pants or herself more rigidly in the future.
