    What holster would you guys buy for the M&P 40? I was thinking of getting an IWB type and need something that will help keep it concealed. Maybe a Ross? Any ideas would be great. Thanks,

    I use a Raven Phantom LC for my M&P40 with TLR light. In the winter sometimes I run it OWB, but the rest of the year I use the IWB loops.
    I've got a couple of Sparks rigs on order, a Summer Special II and a 55BN for an M&P w/o light. I've used an SS-II for other pistols in the past and like it the best of the IWBs I've used over the years.

    1+ for crossbreed. For a full sized pistol, would suggest getting their belt, the thickest one your belt loops will accomodate. To add to concealment, you can get belt velcro strip and velcro holster belt loops. If you are going to carry everday, and all day, Crossbreed is one of only holsters I've found to do this comfortably. To provide prespective, I usually carry sig p239 very comfortably, but have carried sig p226, glock 17, etc. with this rig without problems. And of course, maybe needless to say, do it legally and get your CCW permit.
