I was pretty concerned about C1 w/ my XD-40, I even posted here....
After carrying in C1 for the last 8 months w/ it and shooting IDPA matches using my IWB, I'm completely comfortable w/ all aspects. I even practice w/ my fanny pack holster. I really think that's the only way for me to be ok w/ it. I agree w/ gman, knowing it's ready to go forces me to respect it. It also takes one or more steps out of a defensive situatuon when time counts.

PS, Glad to see there is another follower on the board..... I'm jus tnot a pulpit type. :P
