The ACE-1 features an advanced backer we call the VSB, or variable stiffness backer.The VSB features an incredibly tough leather front, a polymer stiffener insert, and a comfortable, genuine suede backing. Increasing the benefits of the VSB, the polymer stiffener functions as an impermeable moisture barrier to protect your gun from corrosion, rather than allowing sweat to pass through the holster and onto the inside of the kydex shell or onto the gun directly. Further, thanks to the consistency and controllability of the polymer stiffener, it's designed to bend exactly where you need it to most, and be supportive where it needs to be, making it amazingly comfortable.Adding to the comfort, all of our holsters feature a full sweat guard, meaning the backer protects you from all of potentially uncomfortable protrusions of your gun, such as safety levers, and beavertails. While it protects your from discomfort, our backers are also cut to allow a full grip on your pistol when you draw.The ACE-1 now features more adjustability than ever before! With retention adjustment screws all around the holster, you can fine tune the fit and draw weight of your holster to exactly what you want. Additionally, with six different clip positioning holes, you can adjust both the angle and height the holster sits at to find the ultimate crossroads of comfort and concealability.All of these features and more, such as a flared opening for safe and easy reholstering, complete coverage of your gun up to the muzzle, and a beautiful finish, combined with its long, impeccable track record make the ACE-1 one of the most trusted holsters on the market today! ## Features - Genuine Suede - Our Variable Stiffness Backer, or VSB, features a durable leather face, a polymer stiffening insert, and a soft suede backing. This combination creates a sweat proof barrier between your body and the handgun, yet is flexible enough to move with you. - Adjustable Retention - With adjustment screws all around the holster, you can hand tune the draw weight to fit exactly what you want for your specific situation. - Customized Carrying - Adjust the height and angle your holster rides at for the perfect position for both concealability and comfort. - Streamlined Design - By making each backer a custom fit for the the gun, we`ve made the ACE-1 more streamlined than ever before! - Right Handed - Designed to be worn inside the waistband from the 3-5 o` €™clock positions for a right handed shooter ## Images ![Black Arch Springfield XD Mod. 2 Sub Compact 9/40 IWB Hybrid Holster with Adjustable Retention, Holsters ACE-1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31irmcULGqL.jpg) ![Black Arch Springfield XD Mod. 2 Sub Compact 9/40 IWB Hybrid Holster with Adjustable Retention, Holsters ACE-1 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/414f7YlNYyL.jpg) ![Black Arch Springfield XD Mod. 2 Sub Compact 9/40 IWB Hybrid Holster with Adjustable Retention, Holsters ACE-1 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41atYDiTGTL.jpg) ![Black Arch Springfield XD Mod. 2 Sub Compact 9/40 IWB Hybrid Holster with Adjustable Retention, Holsters ACE-1 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41BtOXIb0tL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great construction, comfortable IWB concealed carry option *by N***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2016* This is my first IWB holster and it did not take very long at all for me to get used to feeling this in my pants. I wear this at 4 - 5 o'clock-ish and the belt clips are terrific with a traditional belt or even when I wear gym shorts. The leather is stiff but breaks in nicely after a few wears. The holster is adjustable a centimeters higher and lower depending on your concealment needs (I wear it lower since my t-shirts tend to shrink and get shorter over time). It comes with an Allen wrench and a few spare Allen screws for adjustment, which only takes a few minutes. It does loosen a bit after a few weeks but a few turns of the wrench and you are good to go--the holster never got the point where I felt like it was too loose. I actually prefer this holster to all of my other OWB holsters and I feel a little naked without it on my hip or back. It's a little pricey, but Amazon's price is great compared to Cabela's or Bass Pro Shop. The Mod.2 9mm is a double stacked sub-compact but I don't have any discomfort from the gun's width, especially with this holster. It also holds my Springfield XD-M 3.8" 9mm just as securely, even though the grip sticks out further and the barrel is longer. If I buy another concealed carry gun, I would look for this brand of IWB. I highly recommend this holster for your IWB concealed carry Mod.2. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This high quality hybrid holster does not disappoint. I just bought a new XD Mod *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2015* This high quality hybrid holster does not disappoint. I just bought a new XD Mod.2 in 45 caliber which is about .25" longer than the 9mm/.40sw model and it fits this holster very well. I love how adjustable it is and it's very comfortable to wear. Since it's an "in waste band" holster, it goes virtually undetected under a polo or similar shirt.Again, this DOES work for the 45 acp mod.2 released in early 2015. The slide portion is off by .25" but is easily remedied by smoothing it out with a file or similar.If the SHTF any time soon, I'll be ready. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good fit and concealment - fast shipping *by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2016* The XD9 Mod2 didn't like flexible nylon holsters and because of the trigger and backstrap safety can cause a discharge if something gets in the way when holstering the weapon, the Kydex holster ,makes it all that much more safe. Nothing can get in the trigger unless clothing is in the way when holstering. This holster fit well and very concealable but does require larger pants and a good belt. Good quality and would recommend for those wanting IWB. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/203337934-black-arch-springfield-xd-mod-2-sub-compact-9-40](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/203337934-black-arch-springfield-xd-mod-2-sub-compact-9-40) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
