A very good holster. - 511 Tactical Thumb Drive Level-II Pistol Holster for Smith-Wesson M&P

I purchased this holster in anticipation of Open Carry passing in my state. I also am a CHL/NRA instructor and wanted an example of a retention holster for demonstration purposes.

Setup is easy you can switch from the belt module to the paddle module by removing three screws. No special tools are needed just a common Phillips screwdriver.

This holster is too thick foe concealed carry unless you are wearing a heavy winter coat that would mask the bulge under you clothes.

The thumb latch is very secure and quite natural to use. Of the retention holsters I have used I like this model the best because it has the ease of a thumb break holster with the security of a level 2 holster. On a scale of 1-5 I will give it a 4.5.
Pros: easy setup, easy draw
Cons: too bulky for Concealment
