Holster ???

Finally bit the bullet on a M&P Shield 40. Now, to find a holster. Suggestions and pics please.

 

De Santis - there is a picture of mine in the tread pistol recommendations

 

About 8 or 9 posts in

 

intended purpose? IWB? Duty/range?

 

Location of the holster?

 

Waist...and some cc also to use in the woods. I literally know nothing about holsters fwiw.

 

Well im going to recommend the only one I have. N82 Holster. Google it, I did lots of research and have yet to see anyone give it a bad review.

 

Yea just need to know what everyone else has asked. Position/IWB/OWB/appendix?

 

Where on your waist? Rec carrying IWB appendix. Check out incog g code and galco triton for that position.

 

I just bought the blackhawk serpa holster for carrying my pistol while backpacking. Fits my Glock 10mm and my S&W M&P 45 which was a big plus. Will have it attached to the front waist band of the pack for a quick draw scenario.

 

mid price range kydex holsters are good.40-60 bucks.

 

I guess, right hip, possibly on my back (pants) or attached to my badlands monster pack. Not sure if one holster answers all of those? I'm telling you guys this is a subject I'm clueless in.

I assume IWB. But possibly a cheaper OWB for the woods?

 

For open carry I use a serpa holster. For ccw, I usually use my purse.

I have the blackhawk thigh rig too. I kinda want one for each leg. So I can be like a fat Lara Croft. :D

I carry IWB shirt over for CC then have my shirt tucked and still carry IWB with firearm visible. Check out the galco triton. You can get that for $40

 

i have had great experience with the serpa holsters for sigs, 229,226, and 239.


I have a few handmade and custom holsters for some six-guns. they are AWESOME. They arent your $30-40 holsters but they are nice.



Dont order anything online if you havent put eyes on it. For IWB i have a LOBO holster that i use for my LCR that i have loved. My next holster for woods walking will be Simply Rugged holster. Check them out they make handmade quality stuff.

 

PS... Get a good belt, it will make a bigger difference than a good holster will

 

Very true. Especially if you CC daily. Blackhawk has some nice 1.5 belts. Pricey though

 

I know that when Rick James sees this he will swear by the Crossbreed for IWB. I have a similar holster from Galco called the King Tuk and it is great, comfortable and holds my Glock great. I also have a basic suede Galco IWB I'm not as fond of for my XDS which I plan to replace with another King Tuk.

 

Check out Hidden Hybrid Holsters. One holster, wear it IWB or OWB!

De Santis for in the IWB for me...I love mine and haven't put my crossbreed on since. Best 45$ i ever spent. Like donut said.. Get a good belt.
