Holster for M&P

[snuzzo29]

I am looking to get a holster for my M&P 40. I plan on using it for carrying while hunting mostly. I do a lot of hunting out of a treestand so I probably will need something with good retention and is comfortable when sitting for long periods of time.

For the popular Smith and Wesson M&P series, there are a few decent picks for a general use/outdoor holster.
Many gunners & armed professionals like the polymer holsters & rigs from Blackhawk, www.blackhawk.com Safariland, www.Safariland.com , Galco, www.usgalco.com or Bianch-intl; www.bianchi-intl.com .
The Blackhawk SERPA can be adjusted & worn strong or cross-draw. It has a simple retention system that is easy to use. Note; some gun owners have stated the SERPA can jam with mud, snow, dirt, etc. I've owned a M&P left hand SERPA holster with no major problems
Many gun owners & outdoor rec types like the Safariland ALS & SLS holsters. They are secure & can be adjusted for carry angles/belts.

The milspec or military type Bianchi UM92II holster line may meet your needs. It will fit a M&P Full Size .40 or 9x19mm & can be converted to a # of carry methods(SAS-leg, tanker or chest, strong side or cross draw, shoulder, etc). It comes with a flap or a optional thumb break & it fits any size belt up to 2.25" wide. The UM92II is based on the Bianchi Intl M12 holster, the highly respected & tested holster for the US armed forces/M9 9mmNATO.
The Bianchi holsters come in woodland camo, black, tan & 3 color desert camo.
It's handy & a great way to protect your M&P but to be fair, the metal clips of the Bianchi UM84/M12/UM92 line may dig into your side or snag on your clothes.
I used a Bianchi UM84R in the black format as a duty rig for my Ruger GPNY .38spl revolver in the mid-2000s. I'm left handed & worn the holster different ways; strong-side, cross-draw, flap on/flap off. The Bianchi thumb-break did not fit the R or revolver type UM series holster.

I really like the Blackhawk SERPA as a belt holster for my S&W M&P's.

I have a DeSantis speed scabbard {OWB}for my M&P. It's a 3 hole holster so you can choose cant or straight up carry.
It holds the gun very secure. I've logged 100s of hours with the holster. At 50 bucks, it's a great bang for your buck.

For hunting, you need an OWB holster with a retention strap. There are a number of them out there. Galco has two -- the Gladius and the Cop three slot. The Gladius is quicker to take on and off a belt with the snap loops but that's probably not a big concern for your usage.

This is what I use for my 9c as well.

I have a DeSantis like this, black color right hand. I have never used it,
if you have an interest PM me. I would part with it for 50 bucks plus
priority mailing which I think is about 6 bucks or so for the small box.

I use A Blade-Tech Ultimate Concealment holster made of Kydex for my M&P40/357Sig.

I just bought a Safariland 6378 for my M&P. I use a Safariland 6360 on my duty belt and wanted a holster with the same type controls. After buying several duty holsters over the years, and paying high dollar for them, I was surprised at how inexpensive the 6378 was. Under $40.00 for a durable, well designed holster. I think I'm going to like the new holster a lot.

For hunting I use a thigh rig (yes I can be super tacticool and impress the deer), nope, just don't have a desire to feel a gun digging into my side for however long I may be sitting in a stand or on a 4 wheeler. IMO it's just a more comfortable solution.

You certainly will like that holster. I have enjoyed using one with my Glock 34.
