I have one for my Kahr CM9 with a mag pouch. I was suprised that it works just fine for my new Shield! Stoked! I may have to order this one if it's the "correct" holster.

I just received my holster from pjholsters, and I am very pleased. It is a perfect fit with no adjustment required (although it does have an adjusting screw) and is very nicely made. I also bought a mag carrier at the same time. It is a very nice product as well.
Fast service, good price and quality workmanship! I can't think of anything else to want.

I received mine today as well! I have holsters from him for other pistols too. So far they are my favorite IWB holster and I find them to be very comfortable. Not to mention he is quick to answer questions and will work with you on customization.

I was perusing this forum thread tonight because I'm picking up my new M&P Shield this week and would like to find a good holster for it. I saw the pics posted of the High Noon Holster and can tell by the photos that this is a very well made holster. As a professional leather worker with over 15 years experience I can see the quality involved and wanted to comment about it. The work I do is entirely different from holster manufacturing so I know not to try to make my own rig. I'm not going to say negative things about other manufacturers but I will say that the detail in the High Noon holsters will get my business, hands down. Great Job High Noon.

Any1 tried the "kits" from Old Faithful Holsters..? I jus ordered 1 and kinda looking forward to playing w/ the kydex..! I will post some pics of how it turned out, if I don't totally screw it up.. As this will be the 1st time I've tried making my own holster.. But looking at the tutorials from the website, doesn't look to complicated. The materials look to be high quality and Thomas *the 1 I talked to to ask questions seemed to be more than happy to help.. Shipping notification said 3-4 business days so should have by next week!

I thought so too, so I ordered a 4art with sweat shield and laser option. I read on another board that laser option was needed for larger trigger guard of the Shield.
Came in yesterday, Shield fits snug, but pistol draws easily. It's comfortable to wear, I jumped up and down, did pushups, etc, did not move. I'm happy. Some pics, for reference, I'm 5'7", 140#:

Do you wear the mag carrier on the left side? Bullets should be forward? I ordered a mag carrier left side, bullets forward and got the opposite. So did another guy. We both sent the carriers back as it will be difficult to quickly change with the mag backwards. Oops. lol

Not everyone trains with the bullets facing forward.
ETA: It can also be reversed to run bullets forward.

Second look, your's is flat and thus reversible. Mine is contoured to the body for a closer fit. To each their own as to how they train. I found it awkward to quickly load with bullets backwards. I had to *twist* the mag around, adding another step. Again .. whatever works best for you

Anybody have the Blackhawk 421603bn R or L thats pictured on the S&W acc. shield page? Like it and saw it at a Gander Mnt. store. Only had the right and want the Left version. Feedback good or bad is appreciated. Also they list the 421603 to fit the M&P shield and Glock 26&27's. But also list the 421601 as a Glock 26&27 sizing. Whats the difference between the two models? Thanks

I have the blackhawk 421603bn-r and the shield fits like a glove. I also ordered a desantis pocket holster N38BJE1Z0, but haven't got it yet.

Well I got my kit in from Old Faithful Holsters sooner than I thought.. Came in the mail on Sat., so last night I started playing around w/ it.. I went to Home Depot an bought a 2'x4' piece of 1/2" thick MDF ($7), used an old foam square I found in the shed that was leftover from some other project. Made the cut out piece for the center of the mold/press like it said in the website's tutorial, and created the foam/MDF "sandwich" style mold/press as described. I just used some 45lb. plates from the wieght bench instead of clamps, 4 of them seem to do the trick. A drill, a hammer my dremel tool an about 2 hrs of my time later I came up w/ this.. I had fun doing it, an felt a sense of accomplishment afterwards For my 1st attempt at making my own holster, the kit made it fairly easy.. Overall, for the price an the time invested I'm pleased..

That turned out quite nice. Is there any way to adjust the retention level? It looks like all the screws are the same.

Comp-Tac MTAC for Shield
Well, the kydex shell arrived today for my Comp-Tac MTAC holster. Four screws and a little loc-tite later, here is the result:
Really nice, and I'm glad that the fit is just as good as with my 1911 and Glock pistols with this holster.

Yes, the kit comes w/ some pieces of what look to be 3/16 automotive vacuum hose, which your supposed to cut into thin sections creating like a "bushing" so you can tighten or loosen the 4 Allen head screws to set the retention. This is the 1st holster I've had like this, so it would be hard for me to make an accurate comparison to the other high dollar holsters out there. But I can tell you, I wore this thing all day today (7:30am-6pm) and there was times I forgot I had it on.. I wore it in the 5 o'clock position and by the end of the day I didn't have any noticeable irritation.. And I'm a manager/tech at local independent shop, in which I'm all over the place sitting, standing and walking around inside and outside in the shop.... *I don't really need to carry all day, was just testing the holster out* But from what I've read about the high dollar holsters (reviews/forums) I'm pretty happy w/ my lil "kit holster" especially for what I have into it, it's comfortable and offers quick presentation and 1 handed reholstering.. $32 shipped + $7 for the MDF I bought to make the mold/press + the satisfaction of doing it myself = priceless..

Great Holster
Received my PJ Holster and mag carrier yesterday and I love them. I was apprehensive about a single clip IWB holster because I use two-clip Crossbreed and a Comp-tac Minotaur holsters for my other firearms. This holster is small, thin, fits the Shield like a glove and stays in place just fine. I couldn't be happier. The price was right and the service was fast.

My Beretta Nano holster is a very similar experience, and I would totally get one of these for the Shield.

A WORD OF CAUTION:
As I posted earlier in this thread, I purchased a pjholsters IWB for my shield. I did have him modify his design to make it straight drop instead of canted since I carry AIWB.
On two occasions now (the latest getting out of my truck in the Walmart parking lot) the magazine has suddenly released and fallen out of the pistol. I am now retiring this holster.
Note: I am left-handed so this may not be a problem with right-handed holsters (most of you).

Contact Paul at PJ Holsters. He may have a fix for you.
I at RH and have my Shield and PM9 riding in them when I carry IWB. I have found them to be the best "grab and go" holster I have ever used. I also use Garrett's ST, and Milt Sparks but my PJ's is worn far more often just due to convenience.

I have used the RM holsters for years, never had one weaken on me, I love therm and just got a paddle and IWB for my new shield, they are very comfy and very fast on and off the belt, similar to PJ holsters, but the RM are more adjustable...I might add the RMS both allow for a full grip on the shield while making the draw...
