Bianchi X-15 Sizes

I'm looking to get a X-15 for my M&P 2.0 4" Compact. The usual vendor websites don't list this particular model, but they list models similar in size (Glock 19, Walther P99, etc.) Would this size X-15 holster work? Or should I get one for a full-size M&P 4.5"?

The X-15 is sort of a "one size fits most" proposition, and most similar sized frame guns will work.

One that fits a 4.5 inch M&P or Glock will work fine for a 4 inch.

I would suggest a better type of upright shoulder holster and buy a Nevada Leather copy of the old Hardy-Jeff Cooper holster.

Unlike most all other upright shoulder holsters, the Hardy-Cooper gives a full shooting grip on the gun before starting it out of the holster, and unlike most all others, it keeps the gun butt against the side without having to have leather across the butt blocking the grip.

Thanks. I like that style.
