D/B,
I`m just west of you in Manakin. We just can`t wait for those 95* days and 98% humidity can we ? I just bought a Shield myself but my former summer carry was a Kahr. I use (and am fond of) Falco IWBs with the spring clip and the sweat shield. With the spring clip you don`t HAVE to use a belt but the holster will work fine with a belt if you want a belt. I also pocket carry and I think you will have to use a belt if you choose to go that way, as your shorts will want to follow your gun pocket down your leg,but that pistol conceals well. It`s just another option and won`t cost you much for an inside the pocket holster. Good Luck, John
