Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm/.40 M2.0 S&W - With Integrated Laser Kydex Holster

My M&P Shield fits snug but not too tight. Seems that it will stay in the holster if I was to run or jump over something so that’s a comfort. But it’s not too snug that it would be difficult to draw if needed or cause damage to the gun from being rubbed. I got this holster so I could concealed carry with comfort.

It’s snug with my S&W 40 compact. It’s easy to retrieve the gun from the appendix position only gripe I have with the holster is it rides high. If it were to be able to change its highest point to lower it on the appendix it would be awesome

Built like you would expect of a Kydex holster. Solid hardware. The retention is on the loose side even with tightening the retention screw down, however, it seems sufficient for daily movement and casual activity. The one complaint so far is the mold covers the magazine release and and compression of the holster will release the magazine. A simple Dremel tool cut to remove the portion covering the release took care of the issue.

It is hard to find to find a holster that fits a 2.0 with laser. So I had to make these work. First I tried a right hand holster for IWB. But I'm too fat and my pants are too tight. It was just so uncomfortable that I couldn't do it. So I returned the right hand holster and bought a left hand holster. This one I wear at 3 o'clock OWB. And it is quite doable. It sits close to the body and doesn't print under a shirt. Update after eight months of regular use: I raised my review to 5 stars. The holster has held up quite well. It has not rubbed the finish off of my pistol. I have had no issues with retention of the pistol. I will advise you to take the screws out, and apply loctite to them. I had one screw on the belt clip come undone. I did not lose the hardware, so it was an easy fix.

Best ever conceal carry or belt/waistband carry clip. It advertises as an inside clip but can be used either way. I’m a female and so I needed a clip to hold my MP Shield 9MM but covertly and still not affect the look of my outfit. Can wear this with anything that has a secure waist and on you including belly bad. For running. Very clean and the bottom portion of the clip is not closed off in case you are struggling with a suspect and can manage to get your finger on trigger you can still fire with clip on if needed or as a worst case. May not work as I have not tried but have thought of it if something like that situation occurs. I’ve even worn this with a dress using a stomach slimming under piece. This also perfectly clips or slips into car cup holders or in between the seats in case you want to keep one in your car. Regardless this clip is worth every penny and best of all I’ve been using it for years and my husband even likes it.

Overall I’ve really enjoyed having and caring the solster. It sits well and feels fine on my person. I LIKE IT A LOT! I will say, it is a bit loose compared to what I would have liked to see but glides in and out very efficiently. My only concern would be whether it would come out if on the ground or jumping.

Screw broke after only 4 months. This was my 2nd Pole Craft holster for the same weapon that the screw has broken off of. It is designed in a way that the screw cannot be replaced, so it’s not worthless, again. I will not be buying another one, and I suggest you do not either.

I thought it would fit my pistol but it is slightly off. If you own a S&W 40 cal with a 3.5" barrel it doesn't quite fit as good as you would like. Not sure if I'll hold on to this or not.
