M&P .40 IWB Which do you use?

[Houdini1953]

I couldn't find a iwb holster for my M&P 40c that I liked so I cheated and bought one for a Glock since they are shaped alike. I bought the Galco C119 L holster in suede and it works really well with or without a belt with the shirt untucked. I knew I had made a good choice the first time I panicked for a second thinking I forgot the gun only to realize it was just so comfortable that I couldn't feel the gun and holster in the position I was sitting in. (in the car with seat belt on)

I use mine for both my M&P fs 9 mm and M&P 40c and it works very well. I'm still trying to figure out concealed carry with a tuck in style shirt?

To easily wear a tuckable holster first you put on your holster without your undershirt which might be all you wear then you put on your undershirt and you will notice with all tuckable holsters that there is a long gap at the mounting clips that attach to your belt allowing you to tuck a shirt in it is really easy if you look at the holster carefully.

Here is mine with a shirt tucked with a Shield40

This is a Minotaur MTAC for the Shield, I also have the MTAC for the rest of my M&P's from 9mm to 45, one holster fits all (excepting the Shield)!

Well, I made my first decision and purchased the Galco Summer Comfort IWB holster for my M&P 40 full size pistol. It was an internet purchase and paid $58.36 plus $6.24 for shipping. It came to the house in four days via Fedex. The leather was a little stiff out of the box but following the directions it quickly conformed to the proper sizing. I wore it all afternoon sitting, standing, and walking and it was very comfortable. This holster when wore at the 4 o'clock position is very concealable and is held tight between my body and pants. My pants did draw down a bit on my strong side but I guess it just because I am a little shall we say pear shaped at 5' 11" and 240 pounds. Suspenders would help alot if I were to use them under my shirt but then that brings another problem during personal times ;-}. All in all, I an very happy with the Summer comfort both for the fit and price.

I have an CompTac Minotaur. My brother has the supertuck. Honestly they are very similar. The comptac is a little more refined (finished edges, etc..) and has the bonus of being able to switch out the bodies. I just switched my carry weapon for $38 instead of buying a whole new holster. The supertuck is a little thinner as it's one layer of leather instead of 2 and seems to be a little wider to better conform to the body. Which isn't to say that the comptac isn't comfortable. Either is a good choice and a quality holster.

That Comptac is pretty impressivde. I don't have the 40, but have been concealing a full size M&P45 in a Milt Sparks Summer Special II for the past few months. The Sparks carrys it well... doesn't conceal as well as the Comptac as I can tell from the photos, but I can wear this gun all day in that holster - I've worn it 10-14 hours in a day straight and it is very comfortable. I also ordered a Milt Sparks 1 1/2 inch belt at the same time, which probably helps.

I think I narrowed it down to this holster. Sent e-mail to them and waiting to hear reply. Bought a cheapo universal with clip or remove clip and belt loop (11.00) just to try. Tried it several ways and found I think I would prefer and OWB, I definitely like the cant as it makes the FS hide better on my fat ***.
