Compare the Garage Sale Low Pro Springfield XDM holster and The Rig light-compatible OWB holster. Find out which budget-friendly option fits your carry style.
Quick answer
For deep concealment with your Springfield XDM or XDM Elite, choose the Garage Sale Low Pro IWB holster. For an OWB setup with a weapon light, choose The Rig light-compatible holster.
Concealment vs. Light Compatibility
The biggest difference between these two holsters is carry position and light support. The Low Pro is an inside-the-waistband (IWB) design built for maximum concealment, while The Rig is an outside-the-waistband (OWB) holster that accommodates a mounted weapon light. Your choice depends on whether you prioritize hiding the pistol or running a light.
Both holsters are made from .08" Kydex and come from the same Garage Sale line, meaning you get significant savings over retail. However, they serve very different roles in your carry rotation.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Concealment: The Low Pro uses a modwing claw and two retention points to hug the body, making it the better choice for deep IWB carry. The Rig is an OWB design that prints more.
- Light compatibility: The Rig is specifically molded to fit a pistol with a mounted light (e.g., Surefire X300 Ultra). The Low Pro does not list light compatibility in its specs. If you need a light-bearing holster, The Rig is your only option here.
- Fit and compatibility: The Low Pro is available for Springfield XDM/XDM Elite 4.5" and accommodates red dots, suppressor-height sights, and threaded barrels. The Rig is listed for Glock 17/19/19x/22/23/31/32/45 Gen 2-5 with a Surefire X300 Ultra. Check your specific model before buying; the Low Pro supports Springfield XDM, while The Rig is for Glock with a light.
Product facts
- Garage Sale Low Pro - Springfield XDM/XDM Elite 4.5": The Low Pro design is the most concealable IWB holster made, with 2 retention points and a modwing claw that pushes the weapon against your body to minimize imprint. This means the holster is optimized for deep concealment, especially if you carry a Springfield XDM or XDM Elite with a red dot or suppressor-height sights.

If you run a light on your Glock 17/19 or similar model, this holster gives you a secure, quick-to-don OWB setup without paying full retail.
