Great Holster Carry Options for M&P Semi-auto Handguns by Side Guard Holsters
I own and carry several M&P
pistols and them in my The Slide, Double Clip or Quick Clip. We make a lot of M&P
Shield, Compact or Full Size holsters and below are the most recommended options for carrying
them.
OWB
Recommendations:
The Slide - Great concealment pancake style holster that
makes the heavy Firestar handguns very concealable and comfortable to carry. The Side Guard protects
you from the gun and the gun from you by covering the hammer
and safety.
The
Snap Reinforced - Great option for those who
want a flat back side of the holster, easy on and off holster with the leather loop with
snaps and even more comfortable to wear but not as concealable compared to
The Slide.
IWB Recommendations:
Double Clip or Double Snap Reinforced
- Surprisingly comfortable to carry a heavier gun like a M&P. It holds the gun
securely, does not move around on your belt with the two connections and
pancake style makes for a very comfortable all day wear. The Side Guard protects
the gun from you and you from the gun especially the slide.
Double Tuck Clip or Double Tuck Snap Reinforced
- Surprisingly
comfortable tuckable option to carry a medium to large gun like a M&P
even tucked in. It holds the gun securely, does not move around on your belt with
the two connections and pancake style makes for a very comfortable all
day wear. The tuckable version enables you to tuck your shirt in between the
holster body and connection (Clip or Snap). Double Tuck Clip Reinforced shown.
Hammar

a Double Snap. The reinforced opening support easy reholstering and surprisingly comfortable.
