M&P Shield Holster for Women

wanderlust · Apr 17, 2013

Hi all,

I was wondering if any of you have recommendations on conceal carry holsters for the M&P Shield that are more ideal for women.

My issue with a ton of conceal carry holsters is that they simply aren't cut for my clothing -- they print, aren't covered by my pants, etc.

Note that I carry the Shield with the 8 round, 'extended' magazine.

Thanks!

Just got a new holster today for Shield

I picked up my new Shield today and had ordered a holster for it but found out it was 8 weeks away. While at GT Distributors where I got the Shield the salesman showed me his holster. I didn't think much of it from the looks of it but since it was only $18.95 I decided to try it. I really like it. I have about 3 other kinds and I think I am going to like this the best. It is a Glocktech MIC Holster. It is a small piece of kydex formed over the trigger housing and a piece of cord. Sounds dumb but it works. You attach the cord around your belt with just a loop, slide the holster from the front over the trigger housing and stick it in your pants and it stays put. You can carry anywhere you want and if it is too low you just shorten the cord. The cord prevents it from falling down you pants and to draw, lift out and give a fast upward snap when you feel the cord tighten. It is very comfortable and it doesn't print. Sure beats the $50 they wanted for the other holster. The only thing that bothers me is the grip on the Shield is a little irritating against my skin. Glock makes the holster but they make them for other guns. It's only 3 1/4" long and 2" tall. The salesman was carrying a full size with his shirt tucked in. Couldn't see the gun. I've had it on for about 4 hours with a loaded mag and it hasn't moved. If you need to change position just move the gun, doesn't need a special cant just put it were you want to carry.

PJ Holsters

Hi Wanderlust,

You might want to check out Paul Giannaula's holsters at pjholster.com

There's a great review by a woman on YouTube who does a bunch of firearms videos: PJ Holster - Custom Kydex Holsters

I have one of his IWB holsters on order for my M&P Shield. Although I'm a guy, I'm only 5'6" and 145 pounds so I'm guessing his holsters will suit my small frame. Unfortunately, there's a 5-6 week turnaround time at the moment but that speaks volumes of how popular his holsters are. If you search around online, you won't find a bad review.

Good luck with your search!

Dave.

Take a look at Sticky Holsters | Redefining Concealment. My sister has one for her M&P Shield and loves it. I have one also. Very thin, easy to conceal IWB, very versatile/adjustable, and stays where you put it. Also good for pocket carry if your pocket isn't too loose. Can't go wrong for the price and has no questions asked money back guarantee. Only drawback is it is not easy to re-holster without removing the holster, if you consider this to be a problem, which I don't.
