XS Big Dots on Old Faithful Holster

[ad5md]

Is there anyone here using the above mentioned holster on their M&P Shield? I plan to install the XS Big Dots and my concern is if the sights will fit the kydex on the holster. Tnx

I have Big Dot sights on my full size 9 and just order my holster from them last week. When I get it, if there is a problem I will let you know. There is a sight channel that they say will not cause your sights to catch and they do have a money back guarantee if you don't like it.

hi Marty,

By any chance have you received your holster already? How did the Big Dot sights fit in it? I already have the sights but have yet to have it installed. Tnx

Just got it two days a go and put it together with no problems. The sights are still on back order, but it looks like there should not be a problem. I am having a problem with getting the holster to fit comfortably when sitting with gun in holster. But it is great in every other aspect, walking, ridding my motorcycle, and concealment. I am going to make a post to see if i can get some help with the fit issue, most likely it just that have a small frame.

I've gotbig dots on order as well as an N2 professional holster. The N2 folks tell me they've tested the combination and they work together.

Marty,

At what orientation do you wear it? I wear mine at 4 o'clock and never had problems. I'd say wear it for a week more and it should mold/fit the contour of your body well. I find it comfortable even when driving for long hours.

It took a lot of trying then changing, but I finally got it. I was just having a problem with it when I sat in my car. But it is all good now. As for the Big Dot Sights, mine just came in today and there is no problem with them rubbing when coming out or going in the holster. There is about 2cm, it looks closer in the pictures but don't worry you will have plenty of room. Sorry for bad quality of the pics, I used my phone.

Glad you got the comfortability issue on the holster when sitting in your car squared out. Thanks for the pictures, I will go ahead and order the sights. Did you install it yourself? How do you like it on the shield?

No, I took it in to Robar here in Phoenix and they put them on. I could have done it myself, but did not have the time. I love the sights because sometimes when I have to focus on things up close in a rush, my eyes don't move as fast as I would like The next thing on the list is the Apex upgrade for the trigger.

Will have the sights installed as soon as it gets in. I've heard about the Apex trigger upgrade but not familiar. How many pounds will the trigger pull be and will it shorten the reset?
