M&amp;P Shield 9mm: Looking for an open carry holster - will this work and what size? I need left and right hand holsters.

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.

It should work just as good. I've used it with a S&W; Body Guard .380. A better holster I've found and presently using is Remora Holster. This one is more versatile since it can be used in side a pocket or inside the waistband carry. Give Remora a look, they run sales at times.

Hi. I'm not an expert on the different types of guns, but after googling your discription, I don't see a reason the holster wouldn't work for you. If you've read my review, I've made mention about the thickness of the sheep skin padding and size and I find the whole holster itself bulky, but the elastic gun holder part itself should be a good size for your gun.

Fobus sells holsters matched to each weapon. That's one of the reasons they work so well. If it doesn't say it is for your weapon, you can email them directly (Fobus.com) and they will get back with you and tell you exactly which holster to buy for any handgun you have. Sorry I haven't got a better answer for you. Damn fine holsters though!

I'm not familiar with the Glock specks, or your height. I'm 5'4 and use it with a mp shield the overall length is like 5". I find it hard to place where it doesn't pinch me, cause otherwise I feel like it sticks out and really prints. I Also have a slight beer belly. I don't find it comfortable and im always trying to re-adjust it. All in all I ended up using the Versa Carry. I can place it exactly where I need it. Just came to the conclusion that I can't where sport shorts or pants to carry. I tried a crossbreed holster as well but find it bulky and confining, not much range of motion. That too was also hard to place. And with the costume pocket if you ad a laser or light you half to purchase a new 40$ pocket, they don't have an exchange program. Get a good gun belt(instructors belt) uncle mike would be one too look at and Versa Carry.

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.

Strange, You might want to check with cheaperthendirt.com, they have on their website a holster by makers. Push in Blackhawk state weapon you're looking holster for that should give the correct holster fot that model gun.

I have this holster and for me it is an Outside the Waist Belt (OWB) for being a right handed shooter, but in this picuture I suspect it also could be used as an Inside the Waist Belt (IWB) on the left. I also have not look closely lately at the one I have, but if the metal clip can be moved to the otherside of the holster, then it can be both or universal for any shooter. I trust this was helpful.

The Smith & Wesson Shield and Smith & Wesson M&P; 9c use different holsters they are different sizes so no.

Opinion from a police officer.I completely disagree with the majority of these replies. My main carry was a XD 45 ACP, a significantly larger double stack weapon. I just bought a 9mm Shield. It fits perfectly in my 45 holster, but is a little loose. Just keep in mind, although the Shield is single stack, it can fit just fine in a holster designed for a larger weapon. Just not the other way around. Expect the fit to be slightly loose. As some mentioned, you can increase the tightening screws. I would also consider making your own mods such as soft velcro on the inside to increase tension against the weapon. If you don't run around and hang upside down with your carry, you should be alright. Opinion from a police officer.I completely disagree with the majority of these replies.

I really like the holster. I bought it for a 9mm that is the size of a mid-1911. It works great. Your gun might be a little smaller but I believe, due to the adjustable features on this, that is should work good for you.

Sorry but I only have a LCP. But I am sure they have one for a 9mm. I live in the same town with Talon they good folks. They stand behind their holsters, I have several of them for my other guns.

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 the new M&P; Bodyguard with the laser and it fits great. My coworker has the M&P; without the laser and the fit is also excellent. Perfect pocket holster for your backup carry or off duty carry.

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.

I can only respond to my personal experience with the S&W; Bodyguard.380; and that it is a perfect fit. According to the advertisements posted by Amazon, it appears that this holster accommodates,"Several different .380 and .32 automatics" which models I have no idea?
