Default shield holsters

looking for a iwb leather holster for m&p shield,
what are you using?
I have vm2 for 1911 and j frame, not really wanting to wait 14weeks before I can carry it.
thinking maybe clip style since the weapon is on the small side?

Why not buy an Uncle Mike's (for temporary carry) and order a holster from LoboGunLeather?
Ray does quality work!

IWB from Old Faithful Holsters. Crossbreed that is tuckable and adjustable.

I am perfectly happy with my Galco STO652 IWB holster. A good belt is important too.

I carry mine mostly in a horsehide Lobo IWB with belt loops. Very comfortable. As noted above, Ray does great work!

If you don't want to wait for a holster to be made by CrossBreed, Oldfaithful, AlienGear, etc, Crossbreed does have a factory Seconds (Blems) site, where the holsters are already made and ready to go... At a Discount.

Both my SupterTuk (for my XDMc) and MiniTuk (for my Shield) are CrossBreed Blems and I could NOT find the blemish on either of them.
The Blems are good quality holsters at a great discounted price.

Kusiak Leather IWB with attached mag pouch is my personal favorite. Single belt clip allows carrying options from appendix to five o'clock. I have an Old Faithful tuckable and it's a fine product, but when it comes down to it. I prefer the Kusiak.

High Noon Holsters, Gun Holsters and Concealment Holsters

My only choice in holsters. They use a very well designed and super strong steel belt clip that stays put all day. I use either the Down Under or Public Secret (AIWB) both in horse hide. Their Lite Duty line work very well also at a great price and you get them fast. Bill

I have a kydex holster from PJ Holsters and love the thing. For being custom order he is pretty quick on getting them made.

I really love my Blawkhawk leather holster. The one built for the glock 19/23 size 04 fits the Shield perfect. I paid under $35 for it. I don't think they are rare, most gun stores will have it. I have had if for over a year, and yes, it shows some wear, but it has held up well.

I have a 1.5 inch thick leather gun belt and the Cozy Partner works perfectly with my Ultra Carry. Take a look at the instructions for the snaps, they are for lack of a better word, unidirectional and have to be snapped in a certain way. It should work.

I started out with a Galco and then found a Braid on Ebay for $32 and really like it

I bought a Split Decision from High Noon and hated it. The most uncomfortable holster I've ever worn, in fact I'm sending it back for a refund.

I use either my RKBA leather tuckable or my Remora.
