I have had good experience with Grabagun.com. Also good experience with Brownells (watch for coupons). Combatarmory.com as well.
As far as mag disconnect, are you looking at MA compliant models?
You do realize that a hybrid holster only puts the leather side in contact with you and that the kydex is only a shell that holds the gun, and has no contact with body/skin, correct?
Hybrid holster for IWB has been my preference for several years.
Personally I like the Galco King Tuk.
Bought a Shield 2.0 no laser a bit back for $287.99 shipped. Just keep watching prices and you will find one without a laser and no safety for the price you want.
Depending on your holster of choice, the laser may make it more difficult to find a holster.

No, but if they didn't understand that he wanted a paper copy, then they would have just offered the quickest way.
OP, just contact them back and ask for a paper copy.
Did you specifically ask for a paper copy to be sent? If not, and since you emailed, they may have thought that was the most expedient way to answer your needs.
Just for reference as I see a number of folks have said it does work...
it explicitly states on the Maglula site that it DOES work on the Shield and also states explicitly which model S&W firearms' mags it won't work on...
