Being a fan of theXD-M Elite models, I was very excited about this model.
One of the questions I had, though, was what kind of holster could I find for it.
Fortunately, I found the QVO Tactical More Discreet IWB holster.
And that rig is what Im reviewing today.
The gun has a 3.8 match grade barrel, two 11-round magazines, a 4.5-lb.
flat META (Match Enhanced Trigger Assembly), and an ambidextrous slide stop and magazine release.
loaded with 11 rounds of 10mm.
The Hex Dragonfly is aluminum housed with an anti-fog, anti-glare and anti-scratch lens.
Just a few adjustments and the Hex Dragonfly was on target.
Together, the XD-M Elite Compact with the Hex Dragonfly was extremely accurate when shooting.
I had a blast ringing steel with both target and self-defense 10mm loads.
QVO Tactical Holster
Every time Springfield Armory releases a new handgun, shooters ask about holster availability.
Well, let your tender hearts not be troubled because QVO Tactical produces a sharp-looking retention Kydex holster.
Its called the More Discreet IWB holster, and it is offered in several Kydex designs and color patterns.
There are several retention screws around the body of the holster.
This allows the user to adjust the amount of retention the holster has on the handgun.
I know some carriers who prefer the holster to fit very tight.
I get that mindset and it is solid thinking.
Personally, I prefer the holster to fit a bit less snugly.
I like a clean and quick draw.
I dont want to fight with the holster to draw the pistol.
Either way, QVO Tactical has you covered with your personal preferred amount of retention.
Red Dot Holsters
QVO understands the growing trend of red dots on carry guns.
The red dot concept for concealed carriers has grown incredibly in the past five years.
Springfield Armory has met the demand with their growing line of OSP handguns that are fitted for red dots.
Whats the Bottom Line?
The bottom line is this.
I like many options and choices.
Both the XD-M Elite Compact 10mm and the QVO Tactical More Discreet Kydex holster offer options for the carrier.
We are talking about top-of-the-line gear for a superior Compact 10mm pistol.
I dont think it can get any better than this.
