Default .40 M&P compact OWB holster for IDPA?

It has been a while since I shot IDPA, like 8 years or so which means I'm a bit out of the loop on holsters.

When I last shot it seems that OWB holsters were preferred by the safety types. We gotta protect the club and its interests.

Anyway, what is a good right hand belt holster for my M&P .40c that is IDPA legal?

Thanks,

Szumi

Bladetech or Comptac-either one will do the job and both are good holsters.

I use the Comp-Tac Gladiator. It is a Kydex outer shell mounted to a leather back. Works very well and has been almost impervious to wear. I will say the can't seems a little severe, for me anyway. I have several Comp-Tac holsters & mag pouches and the quality and service is each top notch.

All major manufacturers have something for the M&P. You need to decide on what material it is to be made of and what other features you either need or want...ie. retention strap, degree of cant, how much you want to invest, will this be for IDPA only or for daily CC as well. etc...

I have been using Kramer holsters both IWB and OWB for IDPA with my M&P Full Size .40 as well as a couple of DeSantis and a Milt Sparks VM-2 for the ultimate in carry comfort.

Hope this somehow helps you out. Some of my M&P's actually ride in a Glock 20-21 holster as they fit quite well. Might work for you as well.

I use a Blackhawk, it comes with a paddle and belt mount. The cant is also adjustable for both too. I use it for IDPA and it works great.

I just ordered up 2 Blade-Tech Sting Ray Belt Holsters the other day. I hear a lot of good things about them.
