I made a big mistake yesterday. I was in my local gun shop looking for a new 4 inch 586. They didn't have one but what they did have was a 4 inch 686-1 that appeared to be in excellent shape, no box though. They wanted $499.
I went back home to think about it. Two hours later I decided that's...
I have two for my Shield. I have an OWB Simply Rugged Cuda which is very comfortable and a DM Bullard IWB with a single metal clip. For me, IWB holsters take time to get use to wearing. You can see my DM Bullard in my avatar.
I know you said you would prefer kydex but I suggest you take a look at the Simply Rugged Cuda holster. It's an OWB holster and I find it very comfortable. I would suggest a good Wilderness 5 stitch belt to go with it.
I am very happy with my Simply Rugged Cuda holster. It's an OWB holster. It was $66.00 + $11.00 shipping. It's a great holster for the price. I have three of them.
