Default OWB/BTB Leather Thumb break for SHIELD?

I’m looking for a leather thumb break that will hold the Shield close to my body. I prefer OWB or BTB, not really interested in IWB.

Has anyone tried this Desantis thumb break scabbard?
THUMB BREAK SCABBARD — DeSantis Holster

I am looking for something like this Don Hume I have for my M&P, but they don’t list anything for the Shield yet. I don't see anything on the Bianchi site yet either for the shield, like the Black Widow 5.

Anything else??? Post up some pics if you have them of your Shield set-up.

I called Bianchi about the 100 series if/when it will be coming out and I was told 6 months to a year. The 100 series has to be my favorite holster on the market. Right know I use the Desantis Insider holster and for the range the Fobus Evolution Paddle (PPS). Both do the job, and you can't complain with the price.

Decided to try the Desantis Thumb Break; arrived yesterday.
Really more than I expected. Nice quality, adjustable retention, and two cant angles.
Carries high and tight against my body. Two thumbs up.
