Alright, as I said in another thread, I got to hold and survey an M&P 45 today and the only external differences seems to be the longer slide (by about 1/4, 1/3rd inch) and that was about it. Trigger guard is in the same location, slide width seems to be the same or close enough... So, will the current Comp-Tac (specifically Infidel and CTAC) work with the M&P 45? Or would you have to remove the end of the holster to accommodate the extra length? I don't know if in the full size holster models there's already a space there or what but I'd really appreciate some input as I want to order mine on the 22nd.

Comp-Tac holsters are open-bottomed but all mine taper in a little at the muzzle which would make them incompatible with the longer slide of the 45. I wouldn't cut the bottom off, I'd just wait for Comp-Tac to make a holster for it. I would imagine they will have a holster available soon as their GM is a fan of the M&P. Patience is a virtue.

Comp-Tac makes the CTAC in a "slide" version that has an opening to allow for full sized 40's and 40c's. I have both and my full size slide only has maybe a .25 of an inch exposed when in my CTAC. I would call or write to: www.gunnersalley.com Brad and his crew are the best and could answer, or get the answer you need.

Since you're willing to cut the bottom off the holster, the slide is probably the best option for you, as Morgan suggested. If the 45 fits the same holsters.

I really don't think he will have to do any modifications at all, my full size when inserted into the CTAC "slide" has no limitations at all. If it weren't for the grip being so large I would carry my full size 24-7.



Unless I am missing something Choochboost, I will take a pic tomorrow when I can borrow the office camera again and show you what I am talking about..

glad I just got the slide version. More reason to get the whole M&P lineup

He won't. What I meant was since he was willing to take a fullsize holster and cut it down and basically make a slide out of it, the slide would obviously be the way to go as long as the 45 is the same dimensions as the 9/40.

IC... Its late and I need sleep. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

No, I didn't articulate it very well.
