Stinx...I can't speak specifically to the M&P, but I have a few Cross Breed Supertuck holsters and they are great. It's an IWB and make it very comfortable for CCW. After going through many other holsters, this is my absolute favorite. Each one is made with a nice wide piece of leather and then the holder for the gun is Kydex. Now I suggest the combat cut, because the standard cut doesn't allow for a good high grip on the handle (at least for my Sigs). They have a nice policy where if you don't like it you can return it (10 days I think). Make sure you wear it for at least 3 days to break in the leather.

I have this for this for my 40 FS. I like it, this is for the 45.

If this is to be a duty holster, I can't recommend Safariland enough. They make by far the best duty gear.

Are they good for OWB for Sigs? I'm covered on the IWB, but need a good OWB.

I think the same holster direct from desantis is a bit more $, but doesn't have the S&W logo on it..

Theyre good for on duty carry - not really "regular" OWB. http://www.safariland.com/DutyGear/duty/

They are primarily a law enforcement oriented company. If you are looking for a regular OWB holster there are many other companies out there that have excelent products to choose from.

I just want an outside the waist non duty type. I have a Desantis for another gun and I wish the leatherr was a little stiffer.

Reviving an old thread..

I have a full size M&P 45 with a Streamlight 69210 TLR-1s LED Rail Mounted Flashlight. I'm looking for an OWB holster that will allow me to leave the flashlight attached. I'm spending a few weeks in Maine this summer and I'm going to be open carrying. I already have a Blackhawk Serpa OWB holster for it but it obviously doesn't fit with the flashlight.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

I've been recommending Keyhole Holsters every time someone asks about holsters. He makes everything by hand right here in MA. If you sent him/dropped off the light maybe he could work with it. Who knows. It's worth a shot

The Desantis is also a good holster...

Thumb Break Scabbard ? DeSantis Holster


Bianchi makes good ones also...

Bianchi Leather Holsters, Concealment Holsters,

Just to follow up..

I've found a company that makes them custom order. They take orders for a variety of handguns with a variety of lights. I'll probably purchase one for my M&P 45 when finances get a little better.
