Concealed carrying the M&P 9FS.

[masternave]

I've been trying different holsters for the M&PFS, and I haven't found anything that's worked so far. If anyone out there is doing it, please post pics and details of how you are managing it. Thanks in advance.

what sort of holsters are you looking for? IWB, OWB, Paddle or belt attached?

I have an NTAC kydex OWB belt attached I use under button down shirts when I have a TLR-1 attached. I have a blackhawk serpa paddle holster I use with open front garments like vests or an open 5.11 shirt. I have a VM2 style IWB and a Desibiens gunleather IWB #4 I use for deeper concealment, although I can conceal those beneath an untucked polo or t-shirt.

I will say that 99% of the time I use the Desibiens IWB #4. It takes up less room on my belt and hides very nicely, I can also use it as an appendix holster which I really like.

The thing I have learned is you have to dress around the gun vs trying to hide your gun with what you normally wear if you want to hide a bigger gun. I can take pictures if you want.

Galco leather is OK enough for a belt holster.

I currently carry my M&P 9 in a C5 leather produced holster similar to a Milt Sparks VM2.

I do carry it more towards the 3 O'clock position rather than farther back as I find that it conceals a bit better that way (especially the end of the grip).

Mags are in a double pouch also by him, but I do not like the orientation (i.e, the mags face in different directions)


In the past I have tried the Summer Spercial 2 by Milt Sparks and a kydex clone of such by bladetech for a Glock 17 and a CZ 75 Compact respectively and have found that I don't really care for that style, the narrow belt loop spacing does not work for me.



You may also consider a leather/kydex hybrid holster like the Comp-Tac Minotaur. Very comfortable, I'm told, and they have a very quick production time (they say 3 days)

Don't carry the MP much any more seeing as my wife refuses to let me , but when I did it rode in a Comp-Tac Infidel IWB. Worked well for me in the TX heat and humidity. Sorry, but no pics to show you.

This is what I use as well, but with a neutral cant so I can carry it around 2 o'clock on my waistband.

I recently picked up a Raven ACR for my HK45 and can easily conceal the HK45. I plan on now picking one up for my M&P9 to replace my Minotaur.

For the record, I'm 5'10 with a 36" waist.

Another vote for the rig from Secret City. Gary Brommeland is one of the best in the biz, thin, comfortable and absolute concealment. I also use a Bulman TSAII which is a great IWB rig.

I'm carrying a full size M&P 9 comfortably in a CCC Looper every day. Highly recommended kit.

I carry the M&P9 FS in a Crossbreed Supertuck. I live in Texas, so I'm usually wearing light T-shirts, and have never had a problem concealing it in the 4:00 position. Just have to be sure not to bend over too much and I'm fine.

I will note, however, that different body types will yeild different results. I have broad shoulders and a small waist, so my T-shirts "hang" off of my waistline and help keep me from printing. Results may be different with bean poles or beefier guys...
