What is the best holster for a S&W M&P Pro in terms of conceal carry and "tactical" use. I'm finally switching over 100% to what I shoot the best and need more than a bladetech classic OWB.

The only "tactical" use holster I'll use is a Safariland ALS and they are shit for CC. I use various OWB, IWB or AIWB for CC depending on level of desired concealability.

For owb I have a safariland als 6390 Model 6832 for my roland and its nice.
I havnt noticed any issues with it other than my draw does sort of suck but thats a me thing.
For IWB Im still looking for a good one myself because I cant AIWB because body shape and I use a stealth gear.
I need to find a holster that works for me and I can have a light on it.
Tried a bravo concealment kydex for a tlr1 and I hate it, I will never use a full kydex holster again.
It would do excellent, just keep in mind these are overt duty holsters not CC holster. The 7377 and 7378 are gear more toward concealment, but there are way better CC type holster.
The 6354RDS, 6390RDS, 6392RDS and 6355RDS are the same holster the differences being how they attach. The 6354 uses a QLS 19 locking fork to mate with their QLS 22 receiver plate, the 6390 uses a mid-ride UBL, the 6392 uses a hi-ride UBL and the 6355 is a thigh rig. Choose you medicine.
There is also the RDSO series which has an open pocket that protects the optic and does not use a flip-up dust cover. If I was starting from scratch this is the route I'd go as I've removed the dust covers from my RDS holsters. The 6354RDS does come in some cool patterns though like Multicam Tropic and Tiger Stripe.

I got to thinking last night and found up the Dale Frickle (hope I remember that right) light bearing holster I have for the G34. I took the heat gun to it this morning and opened it up a little more at the bottom around the trigger guard and it worked like a charm. Still kinda want that RDS now that I've looked at it.
Not sure how it carries over to the M&P version, but 7k series holsters for Glocks + light(at least the ones I have seen) are literally the same holsters whether duty or "concealed". They come with upper holes for "concealed" and lower holes for duty with the only difference being where the T nuts are stuck in place to set up for use with a UBL or 567 belt loop/568 paddle.
So far I haven't seen an ALS for RDS that lacks the ability to carry a light which makes for a very large holster.
As you point out, the ALS rigs suck for concealment, but one thing that slightly helps with a 567bl is turning it around the opposite direction from how they are usually pictured. Doing it that way causes the rear loop to sit a little further back for a half assed Bruce Nelson pull the butt in effect. Works better for the Safariland open tops which are fairly compact holsters.
