I just recently got Shield Plus and decided to get a BraDec holster (I saw good things online and it was affordable). I have tried to carry it but the gun’s slide (near the rear sights) always pokes on my shirt near my belly button. I’m pretty sure it’s because the holster isn’t long enough (it’s a 3.1” shield holster and the holster is barely longer than the gun.

My question is, do I get a new holster that is longer or do I just buy a wedge and slap it on the back of the holster? I’m not sure if one is actually helpful and if one is useless. I would prefer to just buy a wedge since that’s way cheaper but I am brand new to this so I could even just be carrying improperly, any advice is welcome.

I am buying my first ever gun and I want it to be a carry gun. I currently am between a S&W M&P Shield Plus or Shield X vs an FN Reflex XL.

The FN Reflex XL was $579 and the Shield X Carry Comp was also $579 while the normal Shield X was $479.

I am a smaller guy 5’7 153lbs. What do yall suggest? Is the fn reflex that good? It felt great in the hands but my research tells me the shield series is so reliable and great for your first gun.

I do believe there is a Shield Plus Performance Center for around $550 at the store so is that a worthy option? I’m all over the place help lol
