Recently received an IWB Kydex holster from Concealment Express for my Shield 9mm.
Smith & Wesson IWB KYDEX™ Holsters | Concealment Express
The cost is $34.95 delivered. They ship FAST. They also email you, a lot. Order received, ready to ship, shipped, on its way, out for delivery, delivered - and multiple copies of the same. It's almost excessive... ok, it is excessive, but it's obvious they understand that keeping people informed about their order is important. From online order to my mailbox was 3 business days - stellar.
Today is the first day I've worn it the entire day. It's very comfortable. I'm wearing it with the 15 degree cant, about 4 o'clock. The cant is adjustable. I tried it with 0 degree cant appendix, and it works and is comfortable, even sitting. I just don't like carrying appendix. IWB, 3:30 - 4 o'clock is perfect.
Printing is negligible with a loose t-shirt. The clip holds tight.
The gun fits perfectly in this holster - it snaps in, even with the retention adjustment screw loosened. This is a perfectly form fitted holster. My shield has a safety, and you can see the holster accounts for that. I carry with the safety off and have no worries that this holster is going to accidentally engage it. The trigger is fully covered.
The only downside is that the edges are sharp. So much so that I felt compelled to knock them down with light file and some sandpaper. You can see on the second pic that I knocked down the outer edge but left the inner one - the outer one was as sharp as the inner one before I knocked it down.
I also feel like the nose of the holster could be rounded more. You can see this up close on the 4th pic. I might hit that with a dremal and some sandpaper.
For $35, you can't beat this holster. They're having a sale with code SUMMER20 to get 20% off two holsters right now. I might have to buy two more for my other guns... filling up the ol' holster box!
