My first S&W

My first S&W and the only pistol I've owned since the .22 I used to shoot cans with when I was a kid. Wanted a handgun for awhile and recent events convinced my wife it was time. A friend took us to the range to fire his Shield and that sold us. We went with the M&P 2.0 9mm full size. Now if they'd only end the stay at home order so we can go to the range and actually shoot it.

How are you liking that holster?

I'm returning it. I think it is a fine holster for certain guns, but I think the company uses the same holster for multiple guns, and in this case, the leather sweat guard gets in the way when I draw it. In other words, it's placed too far beyond the grip where the web of my hand needs to go to get a firm purchase before I draw. As a result, I can't get as high on the gun as I can my Mitch Rosen UPL. I also like high riding holsters, so this one is going back. I do think it's a good holster, but not necessarily the perfect fit for someone like me who rides so high on a pistol I can't shoot Glocks without a beavertail.

This is the grip I get without a sweat guard (e.g. my Mitch Rosen).

This is what I get from the Urban Carry...

And this is why...

If you notice the rear iron sight is not backed by the sweat guard either. Unfortunately, this is what occasionally happens when holsters are not designed for a specific brand/model gun. I tried and tried to make it work, but it's just not for me. It is, however, very well made, so if someone likes this kind of holster, perhaps give it a shot. The retention is excellent if someone wants that feature.

The Holosun 507C has recently migrated to the 2.0 since the 508T I ordered in March still hasn't arrived... and the .22 Compact now has Dawson sights because I got tired of looking for the rear sight blade every time I shot it...
