a Fobus roto-paddle for a XD which is about the worst-thought out and executed peice of work I have seen in awhile. Holster is too tight- and I mean that it takes a hard yank to get the gun out, while holding the holster in your off hand- off the belt. It's impossible on the belt, and since the holster isn't relieved at the rear of the trigger guard, drawing the gun with a "firing grip" results in barking the knuckle of the middle finger of the shooting hand.

I had a Fobus standard paddle for a SIG 220, which served well for three years. Maybe I just got a lemon this time, but the next one I buy will be the Blackhawk CQC.
