What is FOF? The top google search result was an urban dictionary result that wouldn't be forum appropriate and made me laugh, but it would have been situationally appropriate if there was a chance of negligent discharge in appendix carry position for a man.

I carried one with a n82 tactical professional series and it wasn't enough support. granted I didn't have my gunbelt at the time so that could have been some of the issue as well. so take my pennies with a grain of salt!
XDs and most other polymer small single stacks will hold up fine in a single clip holster of good quality WITH a quality gun belt. Where I personally draw the line is around the transition above 3.5" barrel length and double stack (assuming polymer). So, an M&P9c is okay, but a XDm 3.8 compact or a G19 may not be. Depends on how much movement you tolerate and body type also, I suspect. Extra padding on the body may help hold the gun in place with a single clip. That's two cents
