Just checked out the site...unfortunately they only come in right handed models. Really nice holster for the money though.

Most of my semi-autos wear a DeSantis speed scabbard. They are truly beautiful and functional. They are widely available and a good price for a top quality leather holster.
For Kydex construction, I have and like both Comp-Tac and Talon Tactical. Neither is super concealable in the outside-the-waistband versions I have, but they are good companies/people to deal with-solid construction, quick turn around on orders. The Talon Tactical is a bit lighter, the CT is a bit stiffer/heavier. BUT mainly, both companies are a quick to fill a lefty's order as a "normal" persons.
I haven't bought or looked at leather OWB in a while, so I have no input except spend the money on the nice ones, only cry once.

I bought a Blackhawk Serpa for my M&P 45. I would imagine that just about every major holster maker will offer something for the M&P if they don't already.
There is a lot of choice in the holster market as you well know. What you need to do first is decide which TYPE of holster you want, (Inside the Waistband, on the belt, shoulder, paddle, etc) and then start looking at the quality manufacturers ie. Kramer, Milt Sparks, Galco,DeSantis, Don Hume, etc. We have several makers on this site that do fabulous work and can make a left hand version for you...ie. Lobo Gunleather and Sideguard. Once you decide on the type selection becomes much easier. I for example have a strong fondness for good leather, others prefer kydex. I would however, encourage you to buy a high quality holster instead of a cheap nylon holster.

I have bought two different holsters for my M&P 9mm
1) All black leather Cobra 2 slot flat back tight to the body belt holster.
2) Got a Fobus evolution II paddle roto. This one I can wear strong side but also have the option to wear cross draw, which is really good for when driving in vehicle and seat belt could be in the way.
BTW- You know we can Open Carry legally in NC?

Depends on what you want. I have the 9c and 9fs and I've had great success with Side Guard for leather http://www.sideguardholsters.com/index.html
and Erik is a forum member & is great to deal with.
For Kydex, Custom Carry Concepts http://www.shop.customcarryconcepts.com/main.sc
and Comp-Tac http://www.comp-tac.com/

I checked out Fobus and I am leaning more toward them. I like the look of the evolution, plus they offer it in left handed and the price is very reasonable.
I realize we can open carry but don't feel comfortable walking around without having a CCW.

Looks like I have decided to give the Fobus a shot. No pun intended. With their 30 day return policy I figured I couldn't go wrong if I don't like it, ship it back for a refund.
Here is the one I chose:

Thanks again for all the suggestions.

I use a Bianchi Minimalist #105 as my OWB holster and a High Noon Bare Asset IWB. The High Noon holster is very similar to the FIST holster posted earlier.
