So since there have been no responses I guess that means no one owns an XDS and an XDE.

 

Or it could mean nobody with one has seen this thread,it's been really slow around here lately.

 

cremaley,

I do not have a XD-e, but I do have a XD-s.
This is conjecture, but it seems that it would depend on the holster.
It looks to me like an average hybrid XD-s holster MIGHT fit a XD-e.

I went to my LGS wearing my XD-s and favorite holster for it. I was going to try to see if a XD-e fit in my holster, but my LGS did not have a XD-e in stock.
Having just looked on SA's site, it looks like a XD-e is a cross between a XD Mod 2 and a XD-s.

Consequently, I'd bet that some XD-s holsters will fit a XD-e, while some will not.

Wish I could be more helpful.

Holsters for SD-s and XD-e

Today, I went back to my LGS in search of an answer to your question. This time, they had both a XD-s and a XD-e in stock!

The store owner and I both compared the 2. We agreed that there are significant differences in the grip and in the hammer/striker areas; yet, the trigger areas and slides were virtually identical.

Consequently, it seems that most holsters that work for either gun would work for both. The obvious exception would be holsters that have a strap that goes over the striker/hammer area.

The key factor would seem to be getting a holster that covers only the slide, frame, and trigger, and many common holster types do that exactly.

The 2 guns I compared were both 45 ACP.

My 9 mm XD Mod 2 fits with only a tiny bit of wiggle room in the holster I use for CC with my 45 ACP XD Mod 2; however, I don't know if a .45 would fit in a 9 mm holster. My guess is that a .45 will not fit in a 9 mm because a Mod 2 .45 is just a tiny bit thicker than a Mod 2 9mm.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for taking the time to make the comparison. Your information is very helpful.

 

You are very welcome. I don't need much of an excuse to visit my LGS. Happy I could get you some helpful info.

 

Don't know if this will help any but I just picked up a XDE and it's fits into my alien gear holster for my mod 2 just fine. Had to tighten the retention screws a little bit.

 

I have 3 different IWB holsters for my XDS Mod 2 45 and yes they all fit my XDE 45 and they all fit my SW Shield PC 45 also.

I just bought this to see if it was any good. Really suprized for just $16.00 it’s a great buy for warm weather Carry. It fits my Xds Mod 2 45, My XDE 45 and my SW Shield PC 45.

 

The XDe will NOT fit the XDs holster, of course it fits on those sandals that some members a buying here that it fits multiple handguns, as I said before designated XDs holster will not fit an XDe been a lot taller slide to frame..
