Description
The DeSantis Dual Carry II gives you a single holster that actually works for both IWB and OWB carry. Since it's made from soft, hand-finished leather instead of rigid plastic, it breaks in to fit your gun perfectly and becomes more comfortable with daily use. That's something you'll really appreciate if you're planning to wear this thing regularly.
The adjustable 360-degree C-clip is where this holster's versatility shines. You can reposition it however you need for your daily routine, whether that's appendix carry, strong-side hip, or even adjusting the height based on what you're wearing that day. When you want to go OWB, the integral belt loop has you covered with a neutral draw position that works for open carry or carry under a light cover garment.
Leather Construction That Feels Right
DeSantis builds these by hand in the USA using leather that softens with wear. It's non-molded, which means you'll want to let it form to your gun during the first few uses, but that flexibility is actually one of the strengths here. The leather molds naturally to your specific firearm, and the thumb break provides solid Level 2 retention without being difficult to release when you need to draw.
Built for Both Shields and the MC1SC
This model fits the S&W M&P Shield 9/40, Shield M2.0 9/40, and the Mossberg MC1SC. The non-molded design means there's enough give to accommodate both platforms reliably, which is useful if you ever switch between them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really switch between IWB and OWB with the same holster?
Yes. The 360-degree C-clip lets you position it however you need for inside-waistband carry, and the built-in belt loop works for outside-waistband use. You don't need to buy two separate holsters.
How long does it take the Dual Carry II leather to break in?
Most users report the holster softens noticeably within the first few days of wear. You'll want to let it sit on your gun for a few hours initially to help it mold properly, especially around the trigger guard area. After that, it becomes more comfortable with regular use.
Will this holster work with both the M&P Shield and the Mossberg MC1SC?
This specific model is designed for both the S&W M&P Shield 9/40 and M2.0, plus the Mossberg MC1SC. The non-molded leather gives it enough flexibility to fit both platforms, though the fit is tighter with leather holsters compared to molded designs.
Is the thumb break difficult to operate during the draw?
The thumb break is designed to release smoothly with a natural upward motion during a draw stroke. Some users find it takes a few practice sessions to get comfortable with the movement, and the leather will also soften the break-in feel over time.
