Okay, so I went to my local Gun Shop with the intention of dropping off a couple of guns to get worked on. I set them on the case that houses S&W revolvers and what do my eyes lock on. A M&PR8. I have them pull it out of the case at which point I say to myself, Yep, gotta have it. I bought it and will pick it up sometime next week. Now the new problem. I need two holsters (at least) for it. A duty belt / Sam Browne rig and a thigh rig built for the gun with the light attached. Both in Nylon or kydex. Either material will work. Does anyone have a rig like either of these two styles? If so, where did you get it or better yet where can I get one.

I have a guy who is going to custm make me one for mine because I could not find a holster for it with a Burris fastfire on top and a light on the bottom. I am taking it to him April 1st for him to measure and start the work. Good luck on your hunt.
 
Sam Browne type rig, maybe... a drop leg rig... No Way! Those tacticool drop leg rigs are terrible for anything other than sitting at a desk or driving in a car.

I have an M&P R8 and absolutely love it. I have put multiple thousands of rounds through mine and I have a fantastic holster for it, a sourdough pancake from Simply Rugged Holsters ? Holsters, Gun Belts, Ammo Pouches and Accessories

Thanx for the info and the photos. That looks like a good concealment rig. I have that part covered, I need the other two styles for work. FWIW, I have often worn thigh rigs since 1989 while working. They are terrible in a car and at a desk. However, they are about the only way you access your gun when wearing external body armor and keep it on your belt. That "Sourdough pancake" would be buried beneath my Tac-vest.
 
Uncle Mikes.. great option..
As kenforu said though, with accessories mounted, they just don't exist. Custom unfortunately.
Here is what I have, Uncle Mikes for S&W 500 ... perfect range rig, comfortable, super well made, and cheap.
