Looking for paddle holster for .40C M&P

[Stratos]

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.

What he said.
I just got the 5378 for my shield. Now I have both. The 5378 is my new favorite.

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.

Fobus can be found at Walmart.com (good pricing) if that is what you want. I have considered the Fobus shell for a IWB mod I may do to my AG hybrid.

And with Walmart if you don't like it, they can almost always be returned to a store which makes it pretty easy. Keep your receipt.

Add this to the mix Panther Concealment Custom Kydex Holsters and Knife Sheaths

They are in Jacksonville, FL

I describe it as a cross between a traditional paddle and a pancake holster. You get the convenience and speed of the paddle, but the conceal ability of a traditional belt-slot pancake. I almost always carry with just a tee. Pics available if needed.

I have 2. Empty holster drawer.

Safariland! I have one for 1911s and must say it carries a large, heavy firearm with ease. Imagine how well it would carry something light.

Good Luck and good shooting.

ginzo - which one are you referring too? I'd love to try one of the IWB models like theirs but for the M&P .40 FS. I still think it would require at least a 2" wide belt clip, however. I do want anything IWB to be tuckable too.

Both of mine are OWB, a FS .40 and a 40c. Actually the .40c fit the FS but sans the shorter barrel worked great. I wanted the .40c one for the Exact fit.

They are going to work with me on a 638 IWB when I finally find one as that is not one of there production models.

Shoot them an e-mail and tell them your situation. Jim or Scott will reply, check your junk/spam folder as the reply may land there.

P.S. I am southpaw. Both are OWB FBI cant. I have required bathroom pics if you need to see how tight they hold. Also they hang on a Ridgidholsters belt, but I'm sure any gun related belt would work out.
