The DeSantis Gunhide Dual Carry II transforms how concealed carriers approach holster selection by eliminating the need to choose between inside-the-waistband and outside-the-waistband carry. This premium leather holster accommodates both S&W M&P Shield 9mm/40 caliber and M&P Shield 2.0 models with a single, versatile design. The ambidextrous belt clip system allows instant transition between carry methods without holster changes.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional holsters that lock users into one carry position, the Dual Carry II features a patented clip mechanism that rotates and adjusts for both IWB and OWB configurations. The reinforced leather construction maintains weapon retention across both carry modes while the adjustable cant allows fine-tuning from 0 to 15 degrees. Standard holsters require purchasing separate models for different carry preferences, but this design consolidates both options into one reliable platform.

Field testing demonstrates consistent draw times and weapon retention across temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F. The leather maintains flexibility in cold conditions while resisting deformation in heat. Law enforcement officers report successful transitions between patrol duty (OWB) and plainclothes assignments (IWB) using the same holster. The reinforced mouth prevents collapse during reholstering, maintaining safety protocols in high-stress situations.
