Please comment on Desantis Cozy Partner

I am considering a Cozy Partner for my S&W M&P9 and would like to hear comments by anyone experienced with this holster.
Quality, comfort, ease of reholstering?

I have one for a week or so for my PM9. It was a decent off the shelf holster, but I found the belt loops too floppy, as was the sweat shield. But then with your body type, and lack of love handles it might work better.

I just ordered one yesterday for my M&P compact. I should have it early next week. I'll give you a review when i get it.

I guess I won't have it this week. When I ordered the holster thier website said it was an in stock item and would normally ship in four days. I emailed them last night to ask for a tracking number and they said they will send me one when my order is shipped. So eight days and it hasn't been sent yet. I'm not down on Desantis really, they may have a good reason (though I wasn't given one), I am just anxious to get my holster. I don't have one that really fits my M&P. I bought and modifed an Uncle Mikes kydex paddle that works but it doesn't conceal well enough in this warm weather. I'll let you know the verdict if and when I get my holster.

I got my holster today. Like I've read the "sweat" flap is a little flimsy. I'm not a heavy sweater so I trimmed it down. The holster is a little softer than expected. It doesn't stay open 100% when you try to reholster but it does stay open enough to not be too much of a fuss reholstering. It seems very comfortable. I'll wear it this weekend and I'll give you more info on Monday.

Oh and its not exactly molded for the M&P. Its actually a holster molded for a Glock 29, 30, 39. It fits well but for 70 bucks I think I would rather it was molded for my gun.

I've been toting a Glock 22 in mine for a couple or three years now. I like it.

I carried my M&P in my new Cozy partner over the weekend. Very, very comfortable and stable holster. Some of my pants are a little more snug now with the extra bulk of the M&P and the leather as I normally would carry my Keltec P-11 but I would rate this holster very highly. I wish it was a touch stiffer around the mouth to make reholstering a little easier. I don't like having to wiggle a light trigger pull, striker fired gun without a safety into a holster. Its a good way to shoot yourself in the butt!! Its OK now but I'm afraid it might loosen up over time in which case I would lose confidence in it. I'm not ready to replace it yet but if I do I will most likely get a Comp-Tac or other good kydex holster or some other one that has a stiffer hold open. Who knows, perhaps this one will hold up just fine.
