What holsters are you using for Shield 45?

While I do not have a Shield 45, I do have the Shield 9mm and my answer would be a Wright Leather Works custom holster like my "Predator". I have carried my Shield in this one for about 3 years and the fit and retention are still spot on.

I've aldo got a shield 9mm and have been carrying it in a Foxx Hybrid. I don't see myself changing anytime soon. It was getting carried in an N82 Professional, but the single clip allowed it to move too much going from sitting to standing
 
I use the N82 Tactical Professional IWB holster with my Shield 9. It's very comfortable and offers good retention however the draw takes a little getting used to. According to there website it also fits the Shield 45. I've also got one for my 40c.
 
I have a Q Series Minimalist for my Full Size M&P Pro Series 40 also. I like the retention.

I use an Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.0 for iwb carry, very high quality piece. I need to get an owb holster, that Comp Tac paddle holster looks promising, rock doc, how do you like it? how is the retention? I've been holding out for the Blackhawk Serpa, but they haven't come out with it yet

here's the Alien Gear link

I use a CrossBreed Mini-Tuck IWB for my Shield 45. The fit , adjustability, and comfort are amazing. Half the time I forget I'm even wearing it!
 
Drew's Dog OWB and Winthrop IWB. All holsters on the 1st picture are from Drew's Dog holsters.

I carry my .45 Shield in either a Remora or a DeSantis Cozy Partner. I should have a new shell for my Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.0 soon. Another holster I'm considering is a Badger Concealment with their new Raptor texture kydex. I had one for my G30 and found it very comfortable and easy to carry.

Another surprisingly, is the Glock Sport holster. $12 and it fits my Shield 45 very well.

I picked up the Safariland 578-183-411 for my Shield 45. So far so good. It comes with a paddle and a belt hook. Found it on fleabay for ~$26.

The retention on the Comp-Tac paddles are whatever you want, since they are adjustable with a couple of adjustment screws. I like these paddles from Comp-Tac, and have bought three in all.

think I'll pick one up, I have the Infidel Ultra iwb for my 40c and really like it
 
If you carry AIWB check out Desantis Slim Tuk, I love it. Light weight and good retention. OWB check out Winthrop holster s, they are slim, light and very close to the body.
