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.

I would go with a small I have an old 9mm s&w and it is a bit snug but does not fall out, like when I used the large holster.

No sir, the one I purchased was for the M&P; Shield and it is a different frame size. Pearce makes a variety of models. Let me see what u can find out ...

It fits a m&p; 9 mm shield perfectly. Thats the gun that i bought this holster for and i am very pleased with the product.

Good morning G. Harris. I think the Shield may be a bit thin for the size 12 holster that we purchased for our XD Sub-Compacts. The M&P; 9/40 may be just right though.

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 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 should fit no problem. I have these on my full size and compact M&P .40. The .45 isn't much different. Only one I would think twice about is an M&P Shield due to it's small frame and being single stack.

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

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 have a 30-32 inch waist depending on how bad my week was (;P) and I bought a small. It has about an inch short of touching one end to the other on me. For a 36" waist, if you want to be able to put stuff very close to your front I'd recommend a large (that's great for, say pistol mags on your strong side). If you really only want this to carry rifle mags on one side and a pistol on the other with maybe a rear dump pouch, medium might give you more leeway (but will probably deny you front real estate). I vote medium but i haven't seen one in-person. FYI the sides are 6 loops wide which equated to a quadruple 2x2 ar mag pouch plus a useless (because my rifle blocked it) 2x1 (2 wide) pistol pouch on the left. I mounted another 2x1 pistol mag carrier on the right along with my holster. Personally I say skip the whole thing and get a drop-leg mag carrier (ie Costa HSGI leg rig) and belt holster (having owned a plate carrier, battle belt, and multiple pouch/holster setups). It works perfectly with a PC (might need a drop leg pistol depending on your sides). Just keep those drop-legs as high as possible. The whole point is to clear your 'gear' which basically means plate carrier in this instance. Good luck.

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 would go with a size 04 because I have a glock 27 and I used a size 05 and a Khar is about the size of a .380.

My Shield .40 Cal fits OK. I tightened the adjusting screw and it slides in and has a slight click to hold it in place. I wouldn't think the 9mm would be any different.

The M&P; Shield 9mm & 40Cal are the same frame so if it fits the 40 it will fit the 9mm

No, this will only fit m&p; 9mm and .40 but not the shield (that I know of).

It comes down to this: What do you normally wear? Think of it like this: If you were going to Walmart to buy a Tshirt-style undershirt to wear under your clothes-a good quality shirt, not some flimsy thing-what size would you buy if you like a snug fit? That's what you want in this. I'm a big guy; I'd normally wear a 3x, but I got a 2x in this, and it works great. If you're talking a full-sized 1911, it is going to be heavy, so you need all the hold you can get. Definitely go for the larger holster! I hope that helps.
