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

I ordered a small and it was to small. I have a 32 waist.I would say go a little larger than what you need. We worked things out and I got a medium which fit me fine.

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.

The size does matter. It is a belly gun holster, therefore you go by your abdomen size. Not your waist.

Should fit. I carry Kahr 45CW and rides well. Your M&P; is a bit larger, but will fit.

Medium. I have a right hand belt slide and medium fits the Shield perfectly. The size chart also shows M under leather.

It fits my 9mm Shield perfectly, I am not sure if the shield and the "full size" are the same.

All is the same except the width.Sights from 9mm and 40 M&Ps; will fit the Shield but might be wider than normal but will still work. I have yet to find one that hangs over the edge of the slide.

I have a Sig SP2022 9mm and I got a size 6. At first it was snug, I have it in this holster 24/7, and now it fits perfect. It just took some time to stretch out to it.

I don't think so. I have a regular shield 9mm and it seems like that holster fits pretty tight already. You can make it fit with a knife and needle and thread. You would be better off getting a pocket or shoulder unit. I have both and like them way more.

I have a Smith and Wesson M&P 40 and it fitawas great I don't know how different the shield is from the M&P my best solution is is to call Smith and Wesson and ask themlol if it will fit your gun or if the M&P and shield are the same type of design

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.

Allegedly the 9 and 40 versions are the same size. I have a 9 standard size, my brother has a 9 with the thumb safety. It fits. Like all things, mileage may vary. It was meant to be a "universal" m&p; holster to fit most if not all variants. If you don't like it, sell it, return it, etc.....from what I hear Amazon is pretty good about returns, but for what it's worth, I will keep mine because I like it. Get a STURDY belt. It's heavy with the gun, holster, and rounds in it.

that was my issue. After buying the medium size I returned it and got the large. Large works out well for IWB with a 34 waist and OWB you will be at the second or third last hole on the belt leaving a fairly long tag. It's a good belt and great for EDC. I use it for business casual and with suits. No issues with it after 6 mos. Hope this helps.

I use it with m&p; 9c and m&p; 45 full size works like glock holsters will fit all models that have the same frame the shields to thin

I have a Sig P238 and size 1 fits great. Most important for me is the trigger and guard are covered by the holster, which makes a safer draw.

I agree, with opening at bottom, length should not matter. If it will fit other .40 models it should fit mine. The M&P; is pretty much the same size as any other comparable .40 full size pistol. Thanks for the answers.

I have a holster that was made for the M&P; 9mm Compact. The Shield fits, BUT you have to tighten the screws to maintain retention. I guess it depends on which gun you had the holster made for.

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.

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.

Size 10 that I ordered, fits the .40 and 9mm shield. Do not know the answer to your question. You can always go to the Uncle Mike web page and e:mail them.
