I have a smith and wesson m&p 40. i have an uncle mikes (bought at gander mtn) iwb or owb holster, with a thumb break strap. the clip can be reversed. its an ok design, but its way too bulky for me to conceal. im begining to suspect its a total piece of crap, and ive just never encountered a quality holster. if i try to wear it iwb on my side it just sticks out waay to far and looks rediculous.
my 4006 was too heavy to carry in the small of my back, it was top heavy in the holster and would flip down, thus sticking straight out of my back. this one is not, but its super uncomfortable to sit down. which wouldnt let me drive the car with it there. or just sit down.
how do you guys carry your guns all day? something similar to my M&P 40 would be most helpful, but im open to hear however you carry whatever you carry. i mean i hear so many people carry 1911's and my gun is smaller than that, but im having a super hard time trying to tuck this thing away. i must be doing something wrong.
what specific brand holster, how much money and where did you buy it would be super helpful. the more i try the more i fail trying to conceal this thing, i am going to get my permit very soon here and want to have a carry method sorted out BEFORE hand.
btw im just practicing in my house, i dont try to carry anywhere without having my permit yet.

).It has real good, adjustable retention, open top, thin, quality leather.Having a good, stiff belt makes a big difference.Mine works with a so-so belt, but it will not be held as close to the body as with a good, thick stiff belt.Then, it's right up nice and tight.I think I paid like $60 a couple years ago.
