Picking up an M&P 9mm Performance series with the 5" barrel. I'll be putting on an RMR and an X300U light. Looking for a high quality duty holster with level 2 retention that is right against the hip. So far I've talked to Safariland and they said that they do not have one to accommodate an RMR for my pistol. Was also looking at Blade techs stuff and as I haven't used it before it seems like it's pretty well made. Is there any others out there I should be checking out?
 
Talk to Tim from Solely Canadian, the man makes phenomenal holsters and it's all I use now. He's a CGN business member too, plus you'd be supporting Canadian small business'. I don't recall if he's under solely Canadian or SolCan.
 
Ya I thought about cutting it but I suck at trying to customize things haha. I sent that guy in BC an email to see if he can make me what I'm looking for.
 
Tim at soleley canadian should be able to help. I just saw a recent post about retention options and knows that he has several models with lights available. He's done several for me and quality has been perfect along with great service. No affiliation just a happy customer.
 
Used a Serpa this past weekend and really like that rentention setup they have. Emailed Blackhawk and they said they don't make one yet that can accomidate the raised sights. I don't think that Tim has anything similar to that so does anyone else have any suggestions? Looking at the Fab Defense scorpus and waiting to see if that will fit.
 
In my experience, well-made Kydex holsters do not scuff the #### out of your slide. Poorly-made Kydex holsters, yes, it's true, can scuff the #### out of your slide.

To the OP: I'd order a Raven.
 
Blade-Tech's OWB works too, especially for competitive use, but - because you'd indicated that you thought you wanted some secondary retention - it seemed to me that Raven might suit you better. Speaking generally, Raven offers a higher level of primary retention, and - if you absolutely insist on secondary retention - you always have the option of a thumbbreak. Secondary retention devices add complexity and often compromise safety; like pistols with manual safeties, they're not for beginners. With a Raven, in particular, you'll find that you neither need nor want any secondary retention.

I've no experience with (and no interest in) Bravo Concealment.
 
Life is too short. They might make a good product, but so do many, many, others. Who has the time and money to test everything?

I read books and magazines, watch comparison-review video on YouTube, read holster threads on most of the gun forums, take classes and attend matches, and I talk to people. Those are the influences that lead me to trying a particular new thing. Everything I've seen about Bravo Concealment leads me to believe that my time (and money) is probably better spent elsewhere.
