Perfect IWB for M&P9c

[smoothice]

Hi,
Would someone please let me know, which IWB holster (brand/model) is BEST for the M&P9c? I am looking for MAX concealability, comfort and ease of draw/re-holster...

thanks!

WOW! if anyone could figure out which one holster would be perfect/best for every person in the world I'd think they would be sitting on a gold mine.

The short, simple answer is...There is no perfect holster for every person. You'll have to do your own research and experimentation and go from there.

A search on this forum of say "M&P9c holster" will net you a few dozen suggestions I'm sure. Go try that on google once and you'll have enough links to keep you busy for several months.

The PERFECT one is the one you like best, until you find a better one. Seriously, do you think the perfect holster for a guy that weighs 450lbs will be the same one that a gal likes that weighs 95lbs?

I like the Crossbreed Supertuck for 4:30 carry. I just ordered a Mika IWB for 3:00 carry.

For reference I am a 180lbs of rippling muscle trapped in a 230lb body.

Why would the time of day determine which holster you use? Do you have a formal one for after 6pm?

I AM JUST JOKING!!

I like the white hat maxtuck. (same as cbst). But often I wear a Don Hume iwb I picked up when I first got my 9c. Single clip is easier to get on/off quickly and I prefer my gun stay holstered when removing it. The maxtuck is more comfortable and tuckable. But the Hume disappears in the right spot, but occassionaly requires a shirt adjustment to maintain concealment when getting out of the car.

Lobo Gunleather made me one with snap loops and a sweat shield. I like it!

when i "impulse-purchased" my 9c, i also threw the first kydex IWB holster i saw hanging on the wall into my shopping cart.

didn't expect much, but i like this one. it's the single clip design which i prefer.

I am a CrossBreed fan period. I carried a 3913, and a Beretta 92 in a supertuck and they felt like they weren't even there. I have ordered one for my new M&P9. Great holster, most comfortable I have ever tried, and I have a box full of not so good ones.

I like to have some horse hide or something between me and my gun. I like Mika's idea of a fabric he uses that is a moisture barrier, that's why I ordered one of his to try.

For me, the removable IWB is a great idea, I just don't have one yet that is perfect. Perhaps the perfect holster doesn't exist.

What you do see is my S&W M&P40C what you hardly see is my Smith & Wesson9 Full size in a Minotuar IWB. I can carry it all day long with no discomfort and as you can see the time of day it is definitely after 5 pm.

The MTAC is expensive but it will be the only and last IWB holster you buy. There is not enough to say about this particular holster except that it is very comfortable with great retention!

I have a drawer full of holsters but with this one choice I hardly ever open it for them. The choice is your for experimentation but it is costly and time consuming. My advice is to buy one and if you do not like it let Minotuar know about it and if you like it let everyone else know!

The other holster you see is a Blackhawk holster with the paddle about 30 bucks for duty carry and at the range, it has great retention that is adjustable and fits both my 40c and 9 full size!

Here's a link to get one cheap from Midway:

I like the white hat maxtuck.

I have the white hat maxtuck as well and have really grown to love it.

remember.. no matter what iwb you buy, it's junk without a proper belt.

I too have the white hat max tuck in horsehide. Great holster fully supported by a gun belt from the Beltman.

If you have 6 months to wait, you can't go wrong with a Milt Sparks VM-2.

This thing is a work of art.

Does that Milt Sparks have a slide guard on the skin side?

Yes it does. You just can't see it in the picture.

Here's a few more. Milt Sparks on the right. You can see the sweat shield in this picture. Stoner in the middle. Comp Tac Infidel on the right. All serve their purpose depending upon belt loops, shirts, weather, etc.

If you have one with the safety, just make sure you get something on the skin side, at least that's my experience. It doesn't take much to swipe them off. However, I should mention that I do have a bit of a spare tire, ok, more than a bit. So perhaps it's a personal problem!
