Default Holster recommendation for 5" M&P ?

Does anyone know of a kydex holster for the 5" Pro that will completely cover the barrel/protect front sight?

Any BlackHawk Serpa that you can get at Academy that is for the M&P weapons the only weapon that my serpa holsters do not fit is my new Shield 40 and they are about $29.99 just look online at Academy Sports and search holsters!

guess I should be a little more specific. I want an OWB, non-Serpa, kydex. But it has to be long enough to cover slide to the muzzle.

N82. While designed as an IWB I also use it as an OWB using separate belt. The M&P style in full size fits ALL M&Ps from my 9mm compact to 5" .45 ( don't know about Shield).
It has Kydex frame mounted on neoprene covered leather. By far the most comfortable and user friendly holster I have ever used.

It have no interest in the company except as a satisfied customer. They are a made in The USA in North Carolina and very reasonably priced. They seem to be happy to talk and answer questions either by email or phone.

Check them out!

After thought! The N82 does not cover the end of the slide and may not suit your requirements.

Safariland 6377 and 6378 will do what you're asking for. I have a 6378. The gun is fully covered, though the end of the holster is open to the outside world.

I have one made by Dave Elderton at KyTac. It is specific for the 5" Pro, and won't fit a regular 4". It completely covers the barrel and protects the fiber optic sight. Since the slides are different widths on the 5" Pro, make sure whatever you buy will fit it snugly enough to retain the weapon.
