No, plain black for me. It’s...intimating. Too big, of course, for a carry weapon. I figure I’ll use the LCP to keep their heads down while I get the real gun. I’m not really much a shooter, but I have a friend who shoots competitive .45. He frequently shoots the XDm over any of his very expensive 1911s. Mine was right at $600 at a gun show. I shamelessly got a couple of vendors competing with other.
I carry my XDm in my Crossbreed Supertuck on my right side, and my Kahr CW45 in a Fobus OWB on my left. You’re right, it is quite large for CCW. I have a system, though. Works just fine for me.
