So my brother purchased his first handgun yesterday. I tried my hardest not to influence his opinion and let him get something he wanted, so I was proud when he made the right choice and went with a full sized M&P in .40. He didn't even look at any 1911s, but I'll get him there eventually

My question is: Does anyone have any recomendations for carry holsters for this weapon? I suggested a CTAC to him, but I've never carried anything but a single stack 1911 in one, so I don't know if it will work as well with the M&P. Does anyone have any experience with this combination?

The MTAC is more comfortable, IMHO. I carry a M&P9 in it very easily.

Yea, I was wondering about the MTAC. Anyone else got any input about this gun: holster suggestions, ammo suggestions, known problems, etc . . . ?

I've got the M&P9 and carry it in a Blackhawk CQC (OWB) holster. The holster is fairly comfortable and I like the active retention feature, but I'm thinking of getting the MTAC for easier concealment.

As far as ammo goes, I usually shoot WWB at the range. The only problem I have with this ammo is that I will have a FTE at least once or twice per box.

I use CCI Blazer Alum for practice and Winchester RangerT 147gr for SD.
