Default Shield 45 and Mitch Rosen Upper Limit(UPL)

Has anyone tried the Shield 45 with the Rosen Upper Limit? I currently carry a 9mm shield in an Upper Limit and am wanting to compare how the 45 UPL compares to the 9mm/40 UPL.
For example the bottom of the 9mm holster extends about 1 1/8" below the bottom of the belt. Also the 9mm holster is categorized as a straight drop but it does have some forward cant when compared to my g26/27 UPL.

Thanks

M&P Shield 45 PC in a Mitch Rosen Upper Limit Express. To help you out, I marked the first and second inch in red in the second picture.

Thanks for the photos Mildew. Can you give me the measurement from a line between the bottom of the belt slots and the bottom of the holster? It looks like they may have the 45 ridding lower on the belt than the 9/40. The cant on yours looks to be the same.

It's about 1 1/8" from the bottom of the belt hole to the end of the leather where the barrel is located.

Thanks again.
That is the same as the 9/40 model. It sure looked like the 45 set lower.

This looked so good I ordered one for my .45 shield. How's the retention?

Great retention. I have carried my 9mm in one for 2+ years and it still "snaps" in.
