Have a M&amp;P Shield 9mm .... does it matter what size or do I just go on my waist size?

It's my understanding that the size of the band is based upon waist size and I'm assuming the two pockets for the firearm is the same size regardless. I have only bought the one band though so am not able to compare it to another size.

Because the Shield has a narrower slide, this Trijicon set will fit the rear dovetail but will be too wide for the slide (ie, it will overlap slightly). Also, because the Shield has a shorter slide, the front sight picture will appear wider then on a standard M&P; 9/.40 (possibly a moot point simply because you'll be lining the dots up instead of relying on perfect sight picture).With that being said, they *WILL* work. Everything I've seen on the net has said they aim POA/POI quite well on the Shield.PS- If you don't have an installation tool, have it professionally installed! :) Because the Shield has a narrower slide, this Trijicon set will fit the rear dovetail but will be too wide for the slide (ie, it will overlap slightly).

Looks like you need size 13. Says m&p 9. With the locking mechanism it makes a great open carry. No one can snatch your gun easily. It offers left and right.

Good morning G. Harris. I think the Shield may be a bit thin for the size 12 holster that we purchased for our XD Sub-Compacts. The M&P; 9/40 may be just right though.

The same sight fit both M&P; C and Shield . Have both same sight. Buy a sight pusher or you will mark the sights

It's meant for a full size. I have a M&P; 9 shield also and it does not fit.. Just the full size. Hope that helps.

No. They have a XS Big dot for the shield and they have a Big dot for the standard M&P.; my guess is the slide width will differ from shield to M&P.;

Medium. I have a right hand belt slide and medium fits the Shield perfectly. The size chart also shows M under leather.

I wear a medium tshirt normally. I bought a medium and it fits snug. If you prefer a little looser fit I'd go with a size larger. As far as the holster goes. My EDC is a Glock 30 and I went with the large frame holster. It fits either my G30 or 1911 depending on my mood. LOL

I would say go for the medium. My hips measure at 33" to 35" depending on where exactly I measure, the time of month, recent pig outs etc. Since the 35" is at the end of the size small measurements I wondered the same thing. But the small fits me great. I usually wear it on the last set of hooks (it has 3 sets just like a bra does to customize the fit), but sometimes wear it on the middle set. You want it to be snug to keep your firearm secure but not too tight to where you can't wear it comfortably. I'd say go with the medium, try it & then if you need to you can order an extender. Can Can has great customer service, if you find you do need an extender I'm sure they'd be very helpful in getting you fixed up. Enjoy your new holster. I love love love mine. Highly recommend it. Best $ I've spent!

I use it with m&p; 9c and m&p; 45 full size works like glock holsters will fit all models that have the same frame the shields to thin

If its a shield then yes. If not... no. Completely different frame size and dimensions. Plenty of options for an M&P; full size, long slide and compact out there though!

I am a 36 waist so i got a size 38 . Its a holster belt so you need a little room to fit your pistol. If you open carry just get your size.

The Laser Max CF-Shield I purchased is for a S&W; MP Shield 9mm. To answer you question only partly...it handles on my 9 perfectly. I also can tell you this when it comes to holsters. Take your gun to a gun shop or sporting goods store, empty of course and start trying out holsters that work well with your gun and feel good wearing. Most good sellers will allow you to do so. If they do not, then go some where else. I hope this answers this question for you. Good luck and support the NRA with a donation.

Can't comment about a Kahr PM-9, but Uncle Mike runs a bit small. I have a Kel Tec PF-9, and I needed a Size 12, even though one sizing guide said Size 10 for my handgun model. (Another sizing guide had the appropriate Size 12 listed). EDIT: Just looked at the PF-9 vs. the PM9. Go with size 12.

I have a 36"waist and it fits great with plenty of room to adjust out or in. If I had to make a guess, I would say it would cover from 28" to 48". I carry have carry a S&W; 9 comfortably midway on the hip or just on the bottom of my ribcage. For the money, it is well worth the buy. The greatest thing about it is that you can wear it from the waist to the bottom of the chest and move to the front or the back. Very versitile. Hope this helps you out.
