    I finally got me a new pistol last week, a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield in 9mm. I wanted a smaller pistol for concealed carry, and this gun definitely fits that bill. She's a sweet shooter, too : tu:

    Anybody have any recommendations for a nice IWB concealed holster? I have a Crossbreed for my other pistol, but they have a 3 month waiting list for holsters right now.

    Nice. Have you shot it? I have that in a 380 and the trigger pull is r e a l l y l o n g. I couldn't believe it. I guess thats the safety.

    Have you found the hidden compartment in your chevy's center consul?

    I have the S&W M&P .40 compact, very similar. I think you'll love it for carry.

    Nice pistol. I have a Glock 19 that I love, when you read all the ballistics testing behind the 9mm they are actually pretty darn close to a .45 when your looking at premium 124gr +P loads. I'm carrying Gold Dot 124gr +P's in mine.

    I love the crossbreeds. I'd bite the bullet and spend the $$$ on one from ebay for an inflated price if it were me. I'm in the process of selling a couple of new holsters to fund another CB for my 1911, I like the one I have for my Glock so much that it's worth the inflated price IMHO to buy off ebay.

    Sweet gun Cole! I was looking at that or the XDS 9mm and .45.

    I picked up a Springfield XDS .45 yesterday along with a Remington 887 Tactical and an M&M AK-47. Decided to treat myself to a great birthday for once:)

    Yeah, the trigger pull is kind of long, but that's fine with me. I can shoot it a lot more accurate than my Para 14-45.

    I have a 97 GMC, no center console :lol:

    I do love my Crossbreed, I didn't even think about ebay. I'll check into that today.

    I also looked at the XDS, but they were just too short for my gorilla hands. They definitely felt and looked like a nice gun.

    I might still get the Shield in 9mm, I liked the gun but they had none when I went back in and the guys there slipped the XDS that came in the following day for a decent price that I couldn't pass up.

    I bought an Alien Gear holster for my Smith SD-9. Looks very much like the Crossbreed, but at less than half the price. It has held up well so far. Take a look at them.

    Thats a nice one. I have the m&p 40 full size that I carry. Looking at the 380 bodygaurd next for my collection. And on iwb holster I would just search them on ebay. Thats how I find most of mine

    We have 3 of them. They are awesome little guns. We had to get the longer clip with the extra finger guard at the bottom to fit our hand though. You'll enjoy it guaranteed.

    Try a holster from White Hat Holsters. The plus to these is you can order different kydexs so you use one holster for all your different guns. www.whitehatholsters.com. I have their original max tuck and like how the new micro tuck looks.
