I am new to the Forum and the M&P Shield 9mm. I bought it for conceal carry. I use a Desantis Super Fly pocket holster. After I got the holster I put the pistol in the holster over night for a few nights and the pistol comes out fast and crisp. When I draw from the front pocket I quickly found out my rear sights were 'snagging' on my pocket. I had to wiggle a few times and the pistol would come out fine. I made a draw correction: I now draw with my index finger down the side, three other fingers on the pistol grip, and my thumb on top of the rear sights. I have no more 'snags' with my thumb as I draw out. With this hold my pistol draws out in a second or less and no issues with my Desantis Super Fly pocket holster moving. Also, as my pistol comes up to a horizontal position my safety is switched off with my thumb (all in one motion). I am extremely happy with my M&P Shield 9mm and my pocket holster. I just need a belt. :-)
