OWB Holster for M&P 45 Compact

I am looking for an OWB holster for the Smith & Wesson M&P 45c. The main use will be for concealed carry.

I have been looking and can't seem to find very much since this a fairly new model.

"Typically" a holster made for full-size M&P 9/40 will fit the M&P 45C. Will just have a little extra room at muzzle end. I would verify with specific holster maker.

The funny thing is I have a 9 full and two holsters. I didn't even think to try it. I just assumed that it wouldn't work, I guess.

Thanks!

If that doesn't work try contacting one of the leather makers listed on the forum. See if they could get a mold for you. You may have to wait some time depending on the manufacturer.

Kevin at K&D Holsters has the mold and can make pretty much anything you want.

There you go

K&D is going to be a 14-16week wait though. Up to you if you want to wait or check around with the guys who have a 3-4 week wait.

Go see Nate Gable

His web site lists your gun. His Regulator is an excellent OWB holster. I carry a DW Commander in one that conceals amazingly well.

Fast turnaround too.

You might check with Bluegrass Holsters too. Bluegrass Holsters | Welcome to Bluegrass Holsters

I have the Kit Carson for my 9c and it is a great holster.

Brock may have the mold for the 45c even though it doesn't show on his website. It's worth giving him a call or Email.

His wait times are "out there" but the end product will be worth the wait.
