Just bought a Fobus retention roto paddle holster for my M&P 9 FS looking for some opinions on how well they have worked for you.

Thanks

I don't have the roto-paddle but the Fobus I have work just fine. They hold the gun solidly and release it quickly. I've seen complaints about wearing the blue from a gun but can't comment there as my carry guns tend to be stainless and there I see no extra wear. The price is right and they're light. The only thing I object to is they do stick out a bit more than a leather belt holster. For me they work just fine.

By the way capt, doen't it seem counter productive to buy something and then ask for opinions? LOL

Yea kinda but i have leather but wanted a retention holster that would work with my M&P and my SD9VE and my LGS had them on sale and i could not pass that up. I do agree it does stick out more then my Tagua leather holster. Thanks for your input

I know there are a lot of people who don't like them, but I have several and like them. Decent holster for the price and acceptable retention. I have found that it conceals best with bulky clothing. Enjoy.

Always been a "leather" guy until I bought my SD9VE. Thought I would give the poly holsters a try. My first purchase was a used Blackhawk CQC Serpa; I really like this holster, but it's not a concealed holster with the paddle. Liked it so much I got one for my 1911 FS 45.

Also bought the Standard Fobus, SWMP model. Rides closer than the Serpa. Funny that the SD9VE trigger guard is just a touch wider than the M&P; you can tell the difference when you try each gun in the holster. Still works well enough.

But neither are as concealable as my DeSantis Speed Scabbard.
Made specifically for the SD series and has adjustable retention.
3 slot pancake design. My favorite for concealed under a t-shirt.
