Holster Recommendation

[sarg1c]

Hi and greetings from the South Carolina coast.



Been lurking for a few weeks and have enjoyed getting to know the forum a bit. Lots of good information here.



I have several M&P pistols but I'm looking for a holster specifically for my M&P 9MM 2.0 with a 4" barrel. I'm interested in OWB, so if you should have any suggestions, please send them my way.



As an aside, I also have a Bodyguard 380 (It's currently back at S&W getting fixed, so don't get me started on that) a J- Frame 43C and a J-Frame 351C.



Regards

Bob, don't fall into the trap of picking one someone else likes. I need one for my large .357revolver I carry in the woods with a cutout for a Holographic sight. Just going to do as I previous said, take with me and try a few on for size. When I find one that suits me, I'll buy it.

What CB3 said +++. My M&Ps are carried owb, I prefer those made by KT Mech, very reasonable, well made, lots of options, typically received in two weeks.

If you are looking for a small OWB leather holster you might want to check out the Desantis Mini Scabbard. That's what I carry my EZ 9MM in. It is a belt slide and it has a cutout so you can pcace it over a belt loop and your pants so it doesn't slide around. I got mine on Amazon for about $44 and got it in 5 days with regular free shipping.

I forgot to mention the packaging for the Mini Scabbard for the 9EZ also listed it fit the M&P 22 Compact

Hope I'm not breaking any rule by asking this question on this thread. What's recommended for IWB holster for 9mm Shield? I'm down to: CYA (veteran company) or Concealment Express? Always great info on this Forum! Thanks in advance.

I like my Concealment Express: Concealment Express - Smith & Wesson M&P SHIELD 9MM/40SW (Incl. M2.0 & Perf. Center - Non-Laser) IWB

Make sure you have a thick, good quality pistol belt to carry it with. The belt is as important as the holster for me.

I had to buy an OWB for a class. My local gun store had a Safariland 5198-819 Kydex holster with adjustable cant specifically for the M&P. It is a belt slot attachment for a 1.25" belt, but breaking out two tabs allows it to fit a 1.5" belt. It rode tight on my 1.25" wide nylon riggers belt. The retention screw is adjustable. It has an RDS sight cutout already which I needed. As I recall it was under $40. It has an open bottom so barrel length is not an issue. It's not made for a light so there is no unnecessary bulk.

I like my Alien Gear set up a lot. It has so many different options available, including buying extra shells, which I did and mounted in my vehicle. I also have the same model Safariland ( I think) that CB3 mentioned. It was inexpensive and works fine
