WHICH KYDEX HOLSTER FOR M&P 45C
Ok , up until now I've been caring A little 642 in a pocket holster , front pocket. Now I'm trying to figure out whats the best way to CCW my new M&P 45C ? I have to admit that I've put on a few pounds over the last 56 years , 6-2 , 295 so I'm not sure If I should go outside or inside the waist band ? Tend to wear pants kind a under the old belly. (Sorry , just keeping it real) I know every one is different but would like to get some feedback from those of similar build ? And of coarse which Kydex holster is best ?

I have a kydex from Panther Concealment Custom Kydex Holsters and Knife Sheaths
I have a 40 fs OWB. I love it, was lucky enough to do the same as you and now it saved me the "old drawer full" of holsters. I have no affiliation with this company. Great service, you talk directly to the craftsman who makes the holster.

OWB is more comfortable for me.
Does it have to be Kydex?

From my experience, us taller folks have it a little easier when it comes to concealment than the smaller guys. So it shouldn't be too hard to find one that works.
I carried a Ruger P95 in a Kholster that I combat cut myself. From the reviews folks with bigger or heavier guns prefer this type.
For my Shield I use a all Kydex holster made by a local Airmen, JCC Kydex. All Kydex holster seem to be the all around holster.
My JC Custom Kydex (1-3 day turnaround)
Choose this type for me since I'm in slacks and button down and it tucks easily.
While narrowing my choices I almost bought a Little Foxx holster. It has several good reviews and think ill still order one for the winter time.

I have a Blade Tech that I use for everyday carry with my 9c and then I use the same holster in competition with my 9L CORE. It's OWB (I take up all the room IWB  ) I know, TMI.

If you're looking for a great kydex holster, check out JM Custom Kydex. Tony makes great holsters, close to the body, excellent and adjustable tension. I have the OWB for my 9c and Shield 9 and couldn't be happier.

Paul Giannaula at PJ Holster is the way to go for both OWB and IWB kydex.

Been using Raven Concealment Phantoms for many years, very satisfied. Also Double Tap Holsters OWB is excellent quality and very concealable as well.
