Looking for OWB holsters for M&P9 M2.0

Bare Arms Holsters

I just got a Kydex one from the above vendor. I have the 3.6 inch barrel. So far I like it just fine.

Got a Desantis "mini-scabbard for the .45 Shield and it works well. Holds the pistol in tight and has a tension screw to adjust for strength of hold.

TTgunleather, snap on owb is my favorite for my 2.0 9c with 4" barrel. I like it enough that I have one for my 1911 Commander, M&P 45, and 45 Shield. I prefer it because the spacing of my favorite jeans and it's belt loops is absolute garbage for a belt loop pancake holster and where I position the holster.

Cook's might be the one! I will call on Monday!

I did ask for an open bottom in the holster and he said it would be no problem!

Cool! Why do you like an open bottom? (That just doesn't sound right.....)

I would bet that most OWB holsters are open bottom. Why? Beats me. I have always used open bottom pancake holsters for EDC over the past 30+ years. Safariland, Bianchi, Galco, and a few others. I don't know if there's much, if any, advantage, or, disadvantage, between open or closed bottom OWB holsters or not. One advantage that I can think of for open bottom is if you happen to have the same model pistol but with different barrel lengths you could use the same holster for them (ie: 3" bbl 1911 and a 4" or longer bbl 1911).

Cook's and Vedder's are both closed bottom. Most custom leather ones are open bottom...I think.

So that empty brass has an exit and dust, dirt, weeds, and other misc. material has a way out.

I'm looking forward to seeing what that looks like. I did correspond with Bob Cook about the lack of a retention screw, and he said the fit is tight and able to withstand maneuvers, etc. Cook's has excellent customer service, and the two holsters I have from them are high quality.
