OWB Holster for M&P 9 Shield EZ, M&P 380 Shield EZ & Equalizer, Optic Ready

I searched FOREVER!! I bought and returned, bought and returned for months. Couldn’t find a good fit. This one is perfect!! I did my research and narrowed it down to this one and do not regret it at all! Fit is comfortable and so light weight to wear! I normally carry an older, heavier Taurus 38 special revolver and just recently decided to go with my S&W M&P 9 EZ. As much as I love the old reliable revolver, I’m a small business owner and mom to four little girls, having the extra capacity just wins for me. My husband has a large framed, Taurus PT 100 as his daily carry and uses a Safariland GLS paddle holster. I LOVE THAT HOLSTER TOO! However, with my EZ being the shorter “3.675” barrel length, Safarilnd didn’t offer anything that fit really well or you had to use a shim with it and it still just wasn’t quite right. I really like the locking mechanism on this holster. After searching and trying SO many different ones, this one definitely wins!! I knew I wanted a paddle holster as they disperse the weight so well and so evenly. The soft backing on this is HUGE plus and huge difference between some I tried with just the hard plastic or nylon exposed as the backing. It makes this SO comfortable! I especially LOVE that the carry angle is adjustable. LADIES…. If you wear anything high waisted, daily carry and holster placement can be hard to work out. But with the angle of draw being able to be adjusted, that makes it so much better. I have this angled slightly back to make draw more comfortable and much quicker than a straight upwards draw when it’s sitting higher in my hip. I tightened the tension just so slightly and it’s a PERFECT FIT!! Just go with this one, I promise you won’t regret it. I have my FFL and Concealed Carry License in VA, but choose to open carry daily. I’d rather people know than not, and view it as a deterrent. This is perfect for open carry!!

Easy draw with excellent release tab positioning. Snuggle and adjustable fit. Didn't care for the paddle fitting. Installed the belt clip and bought a dedicated belt. Rock solid design.

I love this holster! A little aggravating to get over your belt and pants or shorts compared to the old paddle style that I have been using. But this thing fits perfect I even used my little Sccy 9 mm It fits in it perfect also.

This holster is perfect. After watching a review on YouTube, I was intrigued. It's very secure and easy to use. I do like the bulky and thickness. I highly recommend this holster during the colder seasons, though. The grip is also perfect. It's hard to remove from my belt. I did a couple of practice runs with my husband. I wear it full-time around the house. When my husband is away, it's my duty to protect our babies.

Surprisingly good for the price. You can spend a lot more, but if this is not something that'll see hard use, taking the pistol in and out of the holster a lot day after day, I think it's fine. Works well, fits well and the adjustable aspect is good.

Fit my S&W M&P 380 shield Ez like a glove! The best thing was that it prevented the magazine release button from being accidentally hit. Can't protect yourself with your magazine on the ground during a draw! I loved this holster until I added a Lazer sight a week later and it no longer fit my gun. I did return the holster only because I felt I needed a green Lazer sight due to the fact I'm not that accurate of a shot as often as I'd like. I'm currently unable to find another holster that will fit with the sight and also cover the magazine release as well. If I decide on leaving the sight off I would definitely buy again in a heartbeat!

To bulky for me I’m 5’7 and weigh 113lbs it’s so hard to find one that doesn’t print, had to send back

Perfect fit, solid build
