I know for concealment , a paddle is not all that great but for under loose button down shirt I'm looking for tne best paddle holster for the money. I usually carry iwb but also like quick on and off of comfortable paddel.Any suggestions? Thanks to all who wish to jump in!!:):)

For my .45C M&P, i have a Safariland ALS paddle. Love it. very comfortable for OWB, and i would suggest an ALS if carrying OWB.
As you say, not very good for concealment (especially in the summer months), but if you are looking for OWB, check them out.
 
The most comfortable paddle holster I have ever used is the Kramer MSP. Might work well for you also. kramerleather.com
Not the cheapest holster on the market but well worth the money and then some.

+1 on Kramer. His holsters in horse hide are the best. I also carry with the Comp-tac kydex paddle holster. Comfortable and works very well. Comp-tac is a good company to deal with and will have your holster out to you in 1-2 weeks along with a good price. Bill
 
I use the Blackhawk paddle for my 40C. Sorry I dont remember the exact model number off the top of my head.
 
I have been looking at the safariland. i picked up a fobus evolution today for cheap to hold me over until i find a good one. Thanks all for your suggestions so far!!:cool:
 
I use the Blackhawk also. Comes with interchangeable paddle and belt loops. I use the one for both full size and compact.

I find that the fobus paddle is remarkably a really fine holster....can't figure how you could do bettter
 
I have the Blackhawk Serpa. I don't CC, and didn't get it for that intent, it looks too stand-offish to me. How well does it conceal for those of you who use it?

I do like the holster, it is comfortable and secure.

I got an Uncle Mikes IWB size 5 for my son to use for CC with his Beretta PX4. It fits my M&P 9 well, and is comfortable in the back of my waistband.
 
I found I really like the Safariland 568 paddle. It's a suede lined hybrid Kydex/Leather holster that comes with the belt loop attachment and the tool if you want to swap out the paddle.

I bought one for a 4" L frame Revolver and it conceals fairly well under an un-tucked shirt or sport coat.

I just went through this with my .40C. Have you looked on the S&W website? I believe DeSantis makes the one for the M&P which comes with the M&P logo branded into it. I just bought that one and have no complaints thus far. Check it out.

paddle holster s&w m&p .40c

A couple that come to mind for a paddle accessory are:

- Safariland
- Fobus
- Blackhawk
- Serpa
- Blade-Tech

Safariland 5378 or 6378 - the 5378 rides a little closer to the body for easier concealment, but the 6378 has stronger retention. They're cheap enough, buy both.
 
I have the Fobus Evolution paddle holster that rags mentioned above & it works great. I forget what the list price is for it but I got it on a deep discount when I picked up my M&P40C. I know they're not expensive. It also fits the FS M&P40 & probably most of not all M&P FS or compacts like the 45 & 45C. With full size M&Ps the barrel sticks out of the bottom a little bit. Not a problem. Mine is showing no signs of wear in the 8 months I've had it with just about everday use. I have 3 other holsters but I like this one the best.
