I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my new full size Talo M&P40. Until then, I'm trying to figure out what kind of holster everyone prefers. I'm no stranger to carrying a full size gun, my current EDC is a 5" 1911. I have also carried a 4046 concealed before.

So, what is your favorite concealed carry rig for the M&P? Pictures are always welcome.
 
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 put my mp40FS in a Galco inside-the-pants holster (WB 472). It fits very nicely and feels good even riding in the car or sitting in an easy chair.
 
I have an M&P 40c. I love my remora holster but when I feel like I need the pistol to be more secure I use a High Noon Holsters Mr. Softy holster. Both of these holsters are on the cheap side ($30 shipped for remora, $40ish for HNH) but they are the most comfortable and easiest to conceal for me.
 
Fobus Evolution on my left hip, Fobus double mag holder on my right.

I'm a bigger guy, so IWB doesn't really work for me.

I use a fobus owb. Tried the king tuck for a day but prefer an owb more. So if anyone is interested I have a new galco king tuck left hand for the m&p I'm gonna be selling
 
Just a cheapo Uncle Mike's. Works great for me although I don't carry all the time either.
 
Different need

As it's more practical to carry either my G19 or Kahr P9, I simply needed a holster to transport my M&P .45 ACP to and from the police range where I'm a member of a club with range access. For this, I bought a universal nylon shoulder holster online for a mere $10.00 plus shipping. The holster is so nicely made that I'm surprised it sells for such little money. Sure, it's not a Galco or High Noon but it serves the purpose. As I like to keep my nightstand gun holstered, I merely disconnect the holster from the harness as the rig comes equipped with those nylon fork-like releases.
 
Open carry in Tennessee so my MP 40 Pro 4.25" barrel rides in a Galco Concealable.

Doesn't print much under a tee shirt or a golf shirt that isn't tucked in.
 
Right now it's a galco soft leather holster for the M&P 9c. I'm thinking about getting a Dale Fricke Archangel (have 2 already), or a Garret Ind. Silent Thunder Slim. Can't decide....
 
I have a N82 tactical holster en route. After searching I found this looked like a quality holster for a great price. What sealed the deal for me is that I can use it with my M&P 9c and my Glock 19.

I have a Tommy Theis holster currently. Got it about a month ago. It's very much like the cross breed holsters but less expensive, quicker turn around, and a lifetime guaranty from Tommy who produces them all himself. Oh and the customer service is first rate. He responds to emails very quickly.

I like the Galco triton for full size or compact. I also like the Galco tuck n go for the compact because it rides very low on the waistline.
