Need Holster for M&P R8

[padd54]

I just bought a S&W M&P R8 but I am difficulty locating holster choices.

Please help.
Thanks,
Ray

I've been looking for two months now. Might have to have one custom made.

I think the UM84-R will fit. It is a military stlye holster with the a flap (removeable) made by Bianchi. If you want leather, you may need to have one custom made.

Well, I just ordered this holster;

I will let you know how it fits after I have a chance to wear it awhile.

How do you like the M&P R8, by the way? I'm thinking of getting one myself.

I don't have it yet. I ordered it from Buds last week.
No word on shipment.

padd54,
Let us know if the R8 fits that holster. The 627 PC does not have the rail under the barrel and has more of a taper to the bottom.

LoneStarWings,
It is an amazing gun. Worth every penny.

Here is a picture of the S&W holster(

that I got. It holds my R8 snugly, but not overtight. Overall I am very pleased with it, as I am with the revolver.
This is the most comfortable, out of the box, that I have owned. I love it, even though all I have done is dry fire with snap caps.
