Under $50 IWB Shield Holster?

[Well Armed]

I ordered an AlienGear holster, but I'm tired of waiting and just might cancel my order. I would love to know what under $50 mass produced holster you all are carrying your shield's in? Please post pics, reviews, and links if at all possible TY.

I originally used the original N82 which was $39.99 plus shipping. I LOVED it, but wanted the ability to re-holster easily so I upgraded to the N82 professional which is around $70.00. N82 Professional is, IMHO, the very best and most comfortable IWB available. I would go for the professional. Its worth the money.

I had a Winthrop IWB holster for my Shield until I sold it. It's $5 more than your max, but it's also 100% leather.

I have one for my XDS45 and it's very comfortable wearing it all day long. I like it more than the kydex/leather hybrids, although I use one of those (Old Faithful) for my XDS when I know it's going to be super hot out.

My alien gear actually came 3 or 4 weeks before they said it would. It was worth the wait.

How is that when they project a 4-6 week wait time? Did they give you a 2 month wait time?

Anyway, there are people who ordered before me who have not gotten theirs yet... Way to many holsters on the market to have to wait that long before I can carry my firearm.

I know your pain, been 3 weeks and I am still waiting on receiving by Aliengear holster also. I hope it is worth it also Well Armed.

You can look at Remora holsters or Desantis.
I got the new Aliengear Cloak 2 and find it very uncomfortable compared to my Galco King-Tuk. Finding a holster you may like is very subjective. What fits one person may torture another.

My Foxx Hybrid is very comfortable and $40.

Foxx Trapp. I added the extended slide guard. It's been great!

All kydex.

I normally pocket carry my Shield but when I don't I use one of these,

Got one for my 40C and 45C too.

How's the fit on yours? I have one of their holsters for a Sig p238, and the fit is a little to tight.

I bought this one on Ebay for a quick solution and ended up liking it so much that I didn't order another. Quick and easy for grab and go IWB and is my EDC.

Someone here is using a Don Hume M715-M for a Walther PPS and says it fits like a glove.

If it'll clear the Crimson Trace under-barrel, laser, I'll definitely be getting one.

Price - $33.60

With leather holsters, manufacturers tend to make them a bit too snug and recommend wrapping the pistol in saran wrap (or a sock) and letting the pistol 'sleep' in the holster for a few nights.

If you want a Hybrid, but don't like the wait, have you looked at the CrossBreed Factory Seconds site? Everything listed there is ready to go and **around** half price.

I've purchased ALL my CBs from the 'Seconds' site and have a real hard time finding the 'blemish' on any of them.

I dunno about you, but I CAN Front Pocket Carry my Shield, as well as IWB... So for about $15-$25, I like the DeSantis Pocket-Tuk. It's a Pocket Holster with a 360 Degree detachable Clip.
This one (marketed for the PPS) fits the Shield perfectly and wears extremely well: DeSantis Pocket-Tuk Inside the Waistband or Pocket Holster Glock 26 27

I use a Bianchi Model 135 Suppression holster for both my 40c and my Shield 40. Shop around, they can be found for under $50 and I had mine in about a week.

I recently switched from carrying a 40c to a Shield and tried a couple of holsters before settling on the Bianchi M-100. I really like it, hardly know it's even there it's so comfortable. Bianchi® Professional™ Waistband Holsters : Cabela's and $49.99

 

[GerSan69]

Get one of those Bulldog belt slides from Cabela's. Only $19.95 and no waiting.
