Trying for some time to find a paddle holster for Springfield XDE 9mm 3.3 that is concealable. have bought and returned several makes that just don't work well. Most tend to have the grip stick out and "print" excessively like the doors off a taxi wide open. Texas heat pretty much requires light shirts. Pretty much all makers make for Springfield XD, XDS, XDM but not for XDE. also would liker sweat shield and forward cant.
Any help would be great.
Semper Fi!

personally I think you may be asking for the impossible,

paddles in general stick out just a bit,

have you tried a traditional leather or similar belt holster??
not as quick to get on and off, but they keep the pistol tighter to you body and don't print much, if at all with loose light shirts

I generally use pancake holsters. They're not as easy on and off as a paddle holster but keep the gun in very tight. That's been pretty much my "go to" though I will sometimes use other options.

try the cheap 40 dollar Alien Gear IWB.
I've been carrying my full sized 1911 for years with it. Lived in Scottsdale AZ for 15 years. Am now in TX and it is a big more humid here (yeah just a "bit" )
OH it does have the sweat shield and you can adjust the kant..
Of course I am wearing an UNTUCKED shirt.
