Have a M&amp;P Shield 9mm .... does it matter what size or do I just go on my waist size?

It's my understanding that the size of the band is based upon waist size and I'm assuming the two pockets for the firearm is the same size regardless. I have only bought the one band though so am not able to compare it to another size.

Any one wondering if these will fit other S&W; M&P;'s they will not. I just looked on Pearce's Website (29 July 2014) and they only make them for the S&W; Shield right now...

I bought a size 4 (.22-.25 small autos) based on these answers for my CM9/PM9 and it isn't even close. About an inch of the gun fit into the holster and no way the trigger guard would even think of fitting. I plan to order a size 5 and try that out....

Go by chest meas. They seem to run slightly small, My chest is actually 39" and I ordered the Med. which fits a 38" chest. It works ok for me, but could probably have gotten the large instead. You want them to fit snug to hold the weapon in place with no shifting around.

I use the M&P; 9 Shield. I believe the regular size M&P; .40 and 9 would be too tight of a fit. Recommend contacting the manufacturer at 586-806-2909 or you can email them at foxxholsters@yahoo.com

I would say go for the medium. My hips measure at 33" to 35" depending on where exactly I measure, the time of month, recent pig outs etc. Since the 35" is at the end of the size small measurements I wondered the same thing. But the small fits me great. I usually wear it on the last set of hooks (it has 3 sets just like a bra does to customize the fit), but sometimes wear it on the middle set. You want it to be snug to keep your firearm secure but not too tight to where you can't wear it comfortably. I'd say go with the medium, try it & then if you need to you can order an extender. Can Can has great customer service, if you find you do need an extender I'm sure they'd be very helpful in getting you fixed up. Enjoy your new holster. I love love love mine. Highly recommend it. Best $ I've spent!

The description say All M&P; pistols with the exception of the 2 listed. I have mine on a full size M&P; and they are nice. The Shield is in the M&P; family so they will fit.

The Shield 9mm and .40 are the exact same size, this holster will work with either. Mine is a .40 and the Klipt has been working out great.

Opinion from a police officer.I completely disagree with the majority of these replies. My main carry was a XD 45 ACP, a significantly larger double stack weapon. I just bought a 9mm Shield. It fits perfectly in my 45 holster, but is a little loose. Just keep in mind, although the Shield is single stack, it can fit just fine in a holster designed for a larger weapon. Just not the other way around. Expect the fit to be slightly loose. As some mentioned, you can increase the tightening screws. I would also consider making your own mods such as soft velcro on the inside to increase tension against the weapon. If you don't run around and hang upside down with your carry, you should be alright. Opinion from a police officer.I completely disagree with the majority of these replies.

there is a fairly good listing on the versacarry.com web site that may help you figure out which size fits your firearm.the site is user friendly and should be a big help in making your decision. these are inexpensive and comfortable holsters. however, you will need to wear a belt. good luck.

A better way too select size is on Optics Planet.. They do a better job of matching gun model and size together. The Bianchi site kept telling me my 1911 commander size wouldn't fit, but it is listed in the guns that fit section without referencing which size holster to buy. Unfortunately Amazon doesn't list the holster model numbers so you still have to guesstimate which one to buy. COME ON AMAZON ! GET WITH IT!

Billy, Steven is right, size 3 is the correct size. I own size 1-4. size 2 is to tightand the LC9 will not go all the way into it. Size 2 fits the LCP 380.

No. They have a XS Big dot for the shield and they have a Big dot for the standard M&P.; my guess is the slide width will differ from shield to M&P.;

I got size large and it holds my 9mm shield. The holster also takes my hk usp compact 9 and glock 27. I mainly use it for the shield and it holds the piece in place. If you check smith and Wesson, the dimensions of the 9 and 40 are the same. The medium may be the right size, but I can only say that what I got works for me.

Size 2 doesn't fit. I bought one for my S&W; Bodyguard. Size 3 should be the correct one.

It's meant for a full size. I have a M&P 9 shield also and it does not fit.. Just the full size. Hope that helps.
