G19ss Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Any one know who is making holsters for the competitor? Can't find them anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drell Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Any holster for an M&P 5 inch works. I have a Comp-tac and use it on boss hanger for USPSA, and another with a paddle for IDPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been told by Bladetech that the competitor is not compatible with M&P 5 inch holsters because the frame is thicker. I also called Shooters Connection and they told me the same thing.

I got a BLADE Tech and it works with My plastic M&P9 but hangs up on the M&P9 Metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drell Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I don’t know about Blade tec but I know the Comp-tac fits my Competitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelCityShooter Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I have a DAA Pro holster for my 5" M&P 2.0 CORE and to fit my new 4.25" Metal Frame all I had to do was back out the tension knob a couple of turns. Yes, the Metal Frame is a bit wider but not a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, mine is the 4.25" standard format gun, not the Competitor, so I can't speak to that model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindynles Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I'm using a Safariland 5197 for a 5" M&P with my competitor. Works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G19ss Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 Just received a Comp-Tac International and the Competitor fits Perfectly! I had to loosen the screw ever so slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your plastic M&P a 4.25"? Could be the front sight of the 5" Competitor catching on the holster end during the draw if the holster is made for the shorter barrel.
