Will this holster accommodate a S&amp;W 340SC or a 340PD? I'm seeing that some don't believe is very concealable, what are your thoughts, paddle or belt?

This holster is one of my favorites for function and fit though not very concealable. The belt slide is certainly tighter to the body than the paddle. This holster will not accomidate a 340 as it has a shrouded barrel and is longer than. 38 J frames. My 642 and 637 are right at the end of the holster. Those barrels are 1.875 in length. The 340 is just over 2" . My thoughts are, make sure you're buying model specific products when it comes Kydex, plastic, or fiberglass molded units.

It's not a paddle holster. The back has molded slots for your belt to slide through. It carries my both my 15 round magazines.

I bet it will be hard to find a paddle holster that has light/laser capabilities. You can find universal holsters for lights or lasers just not in a paddle holster.. But hope you find one! If you do, let me know

I like the holster. I wear button up shirts and it fits comfortably under my arm. I wouldn't carry anything bigger than a .45. I've asked people I know of course if they can tell I was carrying. None of them could see it.

I would contact blackhawk or go to their website. there seemed to be a lot of information on the different guns that they offer holsters for. I am not familiar with other pistols except my glock 23 and my .380.

I have held a USP, but never put it in this holster. I would say this holster is a poor choice for the USP and will probably not fit well. Also the USP is a large gun that's fairly heavy so even if it would fit it will be floppy on the belt.

if you are right hand draw and order a left hand draw paddle holster it might work , but I think it would be very uncomfortable. Alien Gear is your best bet for a comfortable behind the back IWB holster. Good luck.

A paddle holster doesn't depend on belt width - it clips over the waistband of you pants (and belt). So belt width - or no belt at all, isn't a factor.

The PPQ holster is the correct length for the .40 S&W; pistol and just a little long for the 9mm so it will work fine for both. Also, contrary to the other responder, I prefer the Comp-Tac holsters over the Bladetech holsters, but both are good and would serve you well.

The holster fits my 19 great. But id probably just get a holster for your m&p; thats designed for your m&p.; The way things are so well fitted theres not much room for a "universal fit". I can stuff my sp101 3" in it, but it's not perfect because it's not designed for it. But id just get rid of the m&p; anyway.lol

A paddle holster can be taken on and off pretty easily if you need to because it slides down over your belt/waistband. Abelt holster requires running your belt through it and won't come off unless you take off your belt. I've been using Fobus paddle holsters for years and never had a retention problem and it's my go-to holster for every gun I've got.

My Ruger LCP fits great. It is snug and held tight. I dont known abut a s&w; .380. I have a friend that has one. It is very close to the Ruger. If you go to the main site for the manufacturer I believe they can help you. I went there first through an ad in "Handguns" they were out of them at the time. Go to www.SneakyPeteHolster.com.I am thinking about going to Taurus hammerless revolver for personal protection. It is not as heavy as the .380. You dont havt jack a shell in it. and will not jam.

Correct, with a regular T-shirt. Not one that is overly tight or overly loose, the weapon is barely noticeable if at all. Just to confirm your assumption, the paddle goes IWB and holds the weapon OWB. I frequently carry with this holster with no problems.

My version has a small plastic ledge, rather than the two barbs Tim mentioned. That ledge fits under a 1.5" belt once it's in place if you keep the paddle outside of your waistband. It doesn't look too cool, but it's much more secure. I use it for easy draws during USPSA matches in that fashion. if you keep the paddle inside your waistband, it cuts down on the effectiveness of the ledge by a ton, and it'll become basically friction fit. At that point, it's not really attached to your belt, it's just held in place by being squeezed between your hip and waistband. If you were to use it that way, I'd recommend having your belt be pretty tight. Hope this helps. My version has a small plastic ledge, rather than the two barbs Tim mentioned.

No, it is an OWB paddle holster. It is very bulky and uncomfortable. It is impossible to conceal and I can only use it for open carry at the range.

I just looked and there is another slot that should support a 1.75 inch belt. Hope this helps because I've found this to be an outstanding paddle holster. Ended up geting another for my GLOCK.
