I know most holster manufacturers make holsters for the various M&P models but I'm having trouble finding holsters for a M&P that actually have a rail mounted light or laser on them. Any suggestions?

This guy. He doesn't have a website, though. Only Facebook. He made me an IWB for an M&P 2.0 compact with an Olight Mini

I have a M&P 2.0 45 with 4.6" barrel. I'm wanting an OWB holster and I have a Crimson Trace CMR-206 for it.
 
I'm a big fan of KT Mech. I have a number of their holsters-2 for my M&P full-size; one if I put the TLR-1 on it and one without. They ask for a photo of the pistol and light/laser combo. It's never taken more than 3 weeks (business days) to get it.

The CT CMR-206 is the real holster compatibility impediment. You could do a Google search for CMR-206 holster and go from there.

Honestly though, I'd prefer to push you into getting a Surefire or Streamlight instead of the CT.

I do own handguns with lasers, have drawn one in self defense with the laser, and I'd argue that generally speaking, a light is far more useful, especially a blinding bright light.

A Streamlight TLR-1 HL or a Surefire X300 are 1,000 lumens, which is completely blinding to anyone on the receiving end. Inherently there's a tactical advantage with that.

Safariland makes a superior OWB holster in my opinion and has options for your gun and a TLR-1 or X300. Their ALS system is second to none.

If you have time to activate a laser, then you have time to get your front sight on target. Having light to positively ID a threat, and enough light to control their ability to see is extremely advantageous.

During daylight hours, a laser, even a green laser, can be hard to see on target, depending on the color of clothing the attacker is wearing.
 
If you are married to the laser, I would say that your only real option would be to contact one of the smaller, independent holster manufacturers, and ask them if they'd be willing to make a holster specifically for you if you were to send them your laser to create a mold from. I'm sure somebody would be willing to do it.

I do believe that your better option is to purchase a more mainstream accessory in the form of a Surefire X-300, a Streamlight TLR-1, or an Olight PL2 Mini Valkyrie with the first two being far more common than the Olight.
 
If you're will to consider a nylon holster, I have a Bulldog Extreme #19 that fits my full size M&P M9 with an Olight Baldr Mini. The straps are adjustable so it flexible enough to fit a lot of combinations.

Dara Holsters. Great Holsters and they can accommodate the laser or a light.

Here's my KT Mech with my 5", as big as the package is I can conceal it under a longer jacket as it hugs my side nicely. I usually do so however for classes/range time.

Black Rhino Concealment. They make holsters for most light / lasers. excellent fit, top quality but extremely slow. I have several.
 
I'd switch to a more mainstream WML, like a Streamlight TLR1. Opens up way more options for a quality holster.
 
I really like my Bravo Concealment IWB for my 4" compact, no light. The do make versions for TLR and Surefire. I'm really impressed with the quality. A much more exact fit than a typical kydex holster, and in the inside surface is super smooth. Retention is excellent and adjustable. I'm considering getting a TLR 1 because of how much I like the current holster, and how decent their pricing is. It's tough to find good M&P light bearing holsters, that's why I never have bought a light yet.
