No, with a good holster you will be fine. A good holster is the key!!
I carry a USPc in a VM II without a problem.
No go find your M&P a home

My instructor carries his M&P9 in a Crossbreed Supertuck IWB holster, and has for a few years, I believe.

I just held (more like fondled amd drooled over) an M&P 9mm today for the first time... very very nice.....
...One of my carry guns is a Glock 30 (double stack 45), I only carry IWB, no real issues at all... the only slight issue is weight of the pistol (what I seem to notice the most when carrying the glock)

That is exactly what I have on my hip right now in a crossbreed supertuckAnd this is my first gun, and obviously first gun to carry. It shoots good, has a good reputation so far and is extremely comfortable. Let me know about any other questions you have about it or holsters for it.

Not a problem. In a K&D Dakota Defender, and good to go.

Even works for a super skinny guy like me in a high noon split decision. A Kahr would be much easier for me to conceal. . .just love my M&P too much though!
It's kind of a personal choice... I had a Glock 23 and carried it in a VM-II and didn't find it too thick but I know folks that think a 1911 is too thick!

agreed, the holster makes all the difference.
I too have ogled/fondled/dreamed about the M&Pc. After holding my XDm and the M&P, there isn't too much difference in width (slide or grip). Put it in a good holster that will distribute the weight. Something that has a large leather backing. Doesn't have to look great, just feel great......................Oh wait, did i just describe a CB Supertuck? Why yes, yes i did.
(btw, i just started carrying IWB Dec '08. Love it! pants were an issue for a while, but i just went 1 size larger.)

Thin is in. Get a Walther PPS. The S&W is not as chunky as a Glock or an XD but it is not really an ideal IWB rig if you ask me. If you don't like Walther, get a Kahr or something that is designed from the ground up as a thin EDC gun.

I carry an xdm IWB in a comp-tac minatour. The xdm is certainly no small gun in any dimension and with a t-shirt tucked in over it, it disappears to the point that when I went to try on another holster at a gun show and pulled my rig off first the guy said he had no idea I had that on me. (yes it was unloaded and zip tied, per show rules.) If an xdm can disappear, the M&P should do jsut fine.

No way. I carry my M&P40c IWB half the time.

Thanks for the feedback all. I am picking my MP up tonight after work and will look at the holster selection there. I am planning a high noon or a K and D, but do not want to wait to start carrying, and surely do not want to carry Mexican style, LOL. This has been a very long day coming.

I carry a 5" XD .45 in a CompTac minataur. Great holster, no problem conceling.
But if you are authorized to carry a weapon, and you walk outside without it, just take a deep breath, and say this to yourself...
