Favorite holster for M&P?

Crossbreed for me. I carried 3913 for a couple years in a Crossbreed SuperTuck and it was the most comfortable holster I ever used. I purchased one for my M&P9 before the gun ever arrived. For my range work, I purchased the Blade-Tech holster from S&W that comes with their carry and range kit. This works very well for that purpose.

Kramer #3 or a Milt Sparks VM-2, not cheap however.

But well worth the money (and the wait). If you carry a gun on a daily basis, how much money will it cost you to wear out the cheaper holsters? Plus, if you order a custom rig and find you don't like it, I doubt you'll lose any money offering it up on Ebay.
 
I just purchased the Galco King Tuck. A buddy of mine has one for his M&P and loves it. He also has the crossbreed and gave it to his brother because he thought the GKT was a better holster. Will let you know when I get mine. Only $50 from Midway.
 
You didn't mention OWB or IWB. If your willing to wear what it would take to cover a OWB. I'd have to suggest a Milt Sparks Axiom. I don't have an actual Axiom myself but have built a couple in the Axiom style for my carry guns. Here's a pic of the one I made for My Commander size 1911...I also made one for my full Size M&P and it pulls that in just at tight. I can get away with just a looser fitting T-shirt with the 1911 and this holster. The double stack thickness of the M&P does require a bit more then a T-shirt though.

Another vote for Theis holster. I have one for my M&P 9c. Excellent product and responds to emails promptly.
 
It took me a long to to find the right one. The Raven Concealment Systems Phantom holster is my favorite and one of the best I've used. Is a modular holster where you change the belt hardware and go from an OWB to an IWB holster.

Roommate had the crossbreed supertuck. He loved it. I have a Shielded holster and i love it. it was cheap ($50 bucks shipped) yet very well made and i recieved it 4 days after i ordered it. when its time for me to order a OWB holster, ill probably go with shielded again.

I've got a Shielded holster for my Glock 19 and while I like the holster in general it does have a serious design flaw. On my particular holster (I'm not sure if they are all this way) the sight channel is only cut to approximately the ejection port. When drawing if I don't break my wrist downward and put an exaggerated angle on my drawstroke the front sight hangs up and sticks in the holster.
 
I've tried quite a few holsters for my M&P 9C. I've carried it in a Peter's Custom Holster for years now. I haven't found anything better.
 
I like the Garrett Industries hybrid Kydex+leather holsters. Silent Thunder STX for OWB CC and the Fusion for IWB CC. Totally silent draw and won't mar the slide or finish. Very comfortable, as well.

I like mine, for my M&P22 fits nice and snug, the magazine holder is a nice touch.

^^ This^^ and you can order the Raven soft loops and use the same holster for either IWB or OWB. All RCS products have a lifetime guarantee that follows the product. They have an actual factory, not made out of someone's basement.

M&P9c IWB

I've just had my M&P 9c for a few weeks, but have already purchased 3 holsters. My DeSantis Sof-Tuck IWB is the most comfortable. It also conceals very well with just a golf shirt.
 
I carry my M&P's in a Safariland 18 IWB. I had a Galco KingTuk,it was ok, but not as good as my Theis for my 4003. So I returned it. In order to get it to sit as low as I wanted the kydex was below the top of my jeans enough that they covered the kydex, making it a 2 handed reholster.

Here's my Safariland with my FS M&P

Another vote for the Theis holster. Great quality, price, and customer service. I also have a Remora. It is a good product as well at an economical price. The Theis is more comfortable for me and I use it more often.
