    Favorite IWB shield holsters?

    I carry my M&P Shield in the alien gear cloak tuck 3.0 and love it. It is very comfortable. The only time that I wear something else is if I'm wearing athletic shorts or pants that you wouldn't wear a belt with. Then I carry in a belly band.

    New to me Shield 9

    Don't feel bad Mark. I use the thumbs forward grip and initially was occasionally letting my thumb come in contact with the slide lock lever and caused the same problem that you experienced. Once I realized I was doing that I had to correct my thumb placement and it hasn't happened to me again.

    Availability of 8-round magazines for the M&P Shield 9 mm

    Considering M&P Shield 9MM for Concealed Carry~Any Suggestions~

    I purchased the Shield 9mm for CC and love it. I have not shot the other 2 pistols you're considering but I do have a P238 that I pocket carry at times and it is a great pistol. I do love how thin the Shield is and how comfortable it is to carry. I carry it in an Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 2.0. My...

    Another fan of the UpLula. I even bought the baby UpLula for my wife to load her .380 magazines.

    Howdy From Texas

    Hello all, I'm new to the forum. I own a couple of S&W pistols. My first pistol ever to own was given to me as a gift from my dad when I moved out of the house on my own. It's a stainless 686 with a 2 1/2" barrel and rosewood grips. I also have a stainless 66-2 with a 4" barrel and recently...
